Ronald Noland, a decorated and extremely dangerous Vietnam veteran. During an operation in the 1980’s, Noland was momentarily blinded, and before he knew it, in free-fall hurling towards a lush, dense, and unknowable jungle. Noland’s expertise in survival had provided him the means to observe and glean everything he could from the Super Predators, and even brought down several of them, although at the cost of his sanity. Noland is a natural born survivor and has proven time and time again he is of top quality regarding skill, stealth, and resiliency.

New Fireteam Weapon: S.M.I.R.
Smart Magnetic & Incendiary Rifle, or S.M.I.R. fires 4 magnetically charged incendiary projectiles with each burst. During flight, the projectiles, being magnetic, are attracted to any and all types of metal, including buildings, heavy armor, vehicles and even Yautja armor, despite its unknowable makeup and absence from the periodic table. Tracking is not capable of intense adjustment, so make sure to line up your shots. Once a projectile strikes a target, it ignites violently in a small flash of incredibly hot fire, effectively scorning the target, if only slightly. While the rifle may be capable of firing “smart”, the rounds themselves aren’t particularly penetrative, resulting in less damage to heavily armed targets. The purpose isn’t initial penetration, however, but instead implies an affinity for burning right through it, given enough time. This weapon will also overheat if fired too quickly or for long periods of time of sustained fire. If the weapon overheats, it will require its magnetic rails to be swapped out and result in a colossal waste of time. Do not overheat your S.M.I.R.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The weapon concepted here is indeed a fantastic rendition of Noland’s gun seen in the film. While no one has any idea what the gun actually does, seeing as it killed the River Ghost without any problems, or noise for that matter, we can surmise what it might have been capable of. This is my take on the weapon. It is not supposed to make any practical sense, so don’t even try to apply logic to it lmao. Like all of my concepts, these are just for fun. Enjoy!
