The Stanchion is built on a frame similar to that of the [[SRS99-AM sniper rifle]]. Unlike the SRS99, however, the Stanchion is a [[coilgun]], and has more in common with [[Gauss cannon]]s and larger [[Naval autocannon|naval guns]] in terms of operation than a regular firearm. The weapon is powered by an Asychronous Linear Induction Motor (ALIM), capable of accelerating its munitions to several thousand metres per second.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Accordingly, the receiver and barrel of the Stanchion are much bulkier than a conventional sniper rifle, with a protective housing visually reminiscent of the [[ARC-920 railgun]]. | The Stanchion is built on a frame similar to that of the [[SRS99-AM sniper rifle]].
