They fire in a straight line at high velocities, similar to the M392 Designated Marksman Rifle. Unlike the Needler, however, the needles do not 'home in,' or track on the enemy.

The projectiles detonate several seconds after impacting on soft tissue. The Type-31 Rifle fires unconventional, long and sharp projectiles similar to those of the Needler.
