Homage held the ancient diary in her magic as she began to read the entry that the pregnant albino unicorn had pointed out to her.
Journal Entry of Blueberry Muffin. Head Weapons specialist of Project-K
Applejack's vision of the ultimate war machine was coming close to completion. It had been at least three years since I had been dragged into that project because she had stolen my Railgun Rifle design and super sized it for the machine's primary weapons. I can't complain as being apart of this had given me the opportunity to create bigger and better weapons for it.
Since I'm now in Stable 88 and no longer sworn to the secrecy of the project I can now talk about it but there is no point in telling ponies that we could have had something that could have stopped the war now. I'm writing this to get it off my chest since I've kept it a secret since day one.
So, what is Project-K?
Well Project-K was something thought up by Applejack. She wanted to create a machine of great power to fight our enemies and possibly end this war.
The machine's full title is known as K-01 ACM KROGOTH. ACM standing for Advanced Combat Mechanoid.
The machine stands roughly ten stories tall and was modelled on the appearance of a Steel Ranger with the mother of all battlesaddles and complete with sail like mane and segmented tail.
The Krogoth is armed with an array of powerful weapons in the end all designed by me.
1. Multi-Calibre Anti-Equine Machiengun. This machinegun has multiple gun barrels that rotate at high speed. It is the machine's anti-infantry weapon but with ponies wearing all sorts of different types of armour the weapon was designed to fire several kinds of ammunition to deal with the armour. It can fire 5mm rounds for standard infantry, 50cal for armoured infantry and can also fire two experimental calibres. These are 55 and 60 calibre. The two experimental calibres were meant for greater penetrating power.
2. Advanced Magical Railguns. These are my pride'n'joy. Originally they started out as super sized versions of my Railgun Rifle but because the engineers didn't have my expert knowledge they cocked it up badly. It was because of this that I was approached by Applejack to be apart of the team. I had to redesign the weapons to make them work. The result was better than I had thought possible but I guess being powered by the Stable-Tec Spark Reactor helped. These Railguns fire a concentrated beam of magical energy which in our successful test fire proved to over power the Celestia Tier shield we had set up to protect the Hanger from internal weapons tests.
3. High Explosive Missiles. Mounted on the backs of the two sets of Railguns are two large missile pods. These pods hold a total of 18 missiles each giving the Krogoth a total of 36 missiles. The missile pods were originally designed for anti-air since our Zebra enemies somehow have Dragons on their side and can somehow magic bat like wings onto their troops. Considering being attacked by a dragon wasn't that likely in battle and the rare occurrence of flying zebras we had the pods redesigned so they could also fire at ground targets. This gave the Krogoth a long range. It could fire one missile at a time or several or the entire pod.
4. The fourth weapon is actually two weapons as it's an experimental interchangeable weapon. This was also a genius stroke from me as the first of the two weapons is my own designed Disc-Grenade Launcher. Disc-Grenades hold the same explosive force as a frag-grenade but packed into a disc like shape. When fired this shape gives the explosive more air time so it has a longer range than standard grenades and again with its shape it can bounce. It was intended for the grenades to bounce so they could get over cover to hit whatever is behind. A downside to this was that the grenades would activate a timer after bouncing once so this meant they'd sometimes explode before hitting their mark. The second weapon is a smaller Raingun. It's entirely for Anti-Air as I know missiles alone won't be enough for its air defence so I made up this Railgun. This weapon is five percent of the power of the ADV Railguns but for its lack of power it makes up in rate of fire and accuracy. However the Anti-Air Railgun can only fire at one target at a time.
