Polarized Crystalite (PC) Ammunition & Weaponry Guide

* This is how the weapons will be universally formated, most are already under this format.

Most common PC Ammunitions are named using the weapon-class for the last two to three letters.
These state the type of ammunition used, letting you know what class the shell\rounds\missile is in.
This is important for multiple-ammunition type weapons.

AC = Auto-Cannon
RG = Railgun
MD = Mass-Driver
ARC = Acceleration-Rail-Cannon
MG = Machine-Gun
RML = Rocket\Missile Launcher
Fk = Flak
DEW = Directed-Energy-Weapon
ERC = Explosive-Round-Cannon

The first letters, state the scale of the weapon.
These tell you the generalized size of the weapon, and what tier is usually used to produce them.
Smaller arms usually have a lower tier to produce than Heavy weapons.

S = Small
M = Medium
H = Heavy



After this naming convention will be a "-" followed by weapon-name.
This is how you directly find the Ammo for a specific weapon, from the rest of the weapon class.

Examples:
SAC-Pierce , Small Auto-Cannon ammo for weapon named "Pierce"

Examples of the old type:
SAC, Small Auto-Cannon.
HRG, Heavy Railgun.
These two will be adjusted to properly to include the weapon system name.
