Here's a gadget you should build, one what would stop my bullets!
The Sniper on piercing rounds

The Machina is a promotional primary weapon for the Sniper. It appears as a futuristic Sniper Rifle with a split barrel and soft grip.

Whilst dealing identical damage as the default Sniper Rifle, this weapon cannot be fired unless the player is utilizing the scope. A fully charged shot fired by the Machina can deliver an extra 15% damage and pierce through multiple enemies. As a consequence, this weapon fires tracer rounds, which notifies nearby enemies of the Sniper's position.

It is awarded to players in Genuine quality to those that pre-ordered Deus Ex: Human Revolution before August 22, 2011.
