- The weapon is around 13 inches long and has 6 rapidly rotating barrels that stick out of a chamber thay houses the firing mechanisms and motors
- uses 7.6mm caseless ammunition that comes as armour piercing, hollowpoint or flechette. Due to the belt fed nature of this weapon its Ammunition is determined by what is loaded in the belt and cannot be easily swapped
- RATE OF FIRE This weapons can fire out rounds extremely rapidly from its spinning barrel, spraying the foe with metal.
- DANGEROUS TO SABER WIELDERS As with most weapons that fire solid metal ammunition, this weapon is dangerous to try to block as the metal rounds will melt, spraying the light saber weilder with molted metal. This is particularly pronounced with hollowpoint and flechette.
- WELL MACHINED The quality of the machining of this weapon makes it extremely reliable and extremely accurate. Provided you can control the recoil.
- SIGNIFICANT RECOIL The volume of heavy rounds spraying out the front of the gun imparts significant recoil. Without a mount or other recoil suppressing system, the gun is very hard to weild.
- FIXED AMMUNITION TYPE Ammunition type is determined when the weapon is loaded with its belt and although it can fire multiple ammunition type, there is no way to change between them without a full reload
- TIME CONSUMING TO RELOAD As a belt fed weapon, it is more time consuming to reload than a lot of weapons, particularly if using a back pack ammunition case.

The weapon can burn through its Ammunition quickly and reloading is a time consuming process so clever fire control is important. But if used correctly, squads Equipped with these guns can hold off much larger forces.
The weapon is a Ripper gun, using energy pulses to fire solid projectiles, giving it the performance of a slug thrower but the punch of an energy weapon.
