- Accurate: Paired with the innate superior accuracy of most Verpine shatter guns the assistance of the Autosteady device grants users of this weapon an even greater likelihood to be on target with their shots and control the recoil produced from firing.
- Stronger than before: Thanks to the much-needed boost in speed from scattergun technology the projectiles fired from the E-44 hit much harder than what your average slugthrower could put out.
- Adaptable: The E-44 was built with the numerous battlefields of the galaxy in mind. As such it has been outfitted to resist the effects of Electro Magnetic Pulses and other forms of physical abuse.
- Crytech Vortex System: The E-44 is capable of generating Ionic blasts using the energy generated from regular Slug or Pellet fire. Each burst requires four shots to be fired before a sizeable burst can be made. These Ion Pulses do not travel as far as other payloads are better used at close range than from a distance.
- Now you see me...you still see me: Due to the railgun technology the E44 uses a large flash is created when fired that is a hindrance in dark firefights.
- Follow the blue firefly: Another drawback of the E44 is the bright blue glow the back of the gun produces when enough ionic energy has been produced for an ionic shot. His glow remains until the energy is expended making the wielder noticeable in badly lit areas.
- Limited Shots: Hard hitting or not it is a fact of the modern age that when compared with the more popular blaster pistol the E-44 requires the user to reload far more often.
- No Prisoners Today: There is no room for compromise with the E-44, either the target is dead or gruesomely injured. With no stun option this gun has one sole purpose, kill.
The E-44 is a new model of pistol meant to round out the ever-expanding Sith arsenal. With its light and compact design, the weapon is easy to handle while still being able to pack the modern punch needed to break through the defenses of the future. The E-44 main goal is to maximize casualties on the enemy side and allow every legionnaire a viable option when faced with the militarized force users roaming the galaxy.
The Shattergun design of the E-44 with all its benefits still lacks in the way of stealth and isn't the weapon of choice for those looking for a quiet approach. With a noticeable muzzle flash and intense blue glow the weapon is best used for those looking to cause damage and have a firm backup should their primary weapon become unavailable.
