Length: 1 meter
Weight: 20kg
Ammunition Type: Power cell, magnetic bullets

Rate of Fire: Pump-action
Special Features:
- High-power magnetic coils
- Shotgun shrapnel effect
- Armor-piercing
Description:
Lorane's coil-gun was meant to do more damage when pistols and knives just won't suffice. It's basically a high-powered shotgun, except that the shells are able to travel farther and hit harder than normal. The magnetic coils that make the shells move are powered by a rather cumbersome power cell that takes up most of the rear of the gun. The rest of the weapon is taken up by the coils themselves, only leaving room for a small amount of ammunition.
The only real benefit is the destructive capacity of the gun. The shrapnel can usually rip through most light armor easily, and materials like those used in standard-issue military armors are likely to crack under the damage. Heavier armors will hold up against it, but individual pieces of shrapnel may fly into weak spots or mess with life support in those. The majority of armored vehicles would not be badly damaged unless the person using it manages to fire several shells into the same few centimeters of space.
