SPECIAL FEATURES
See Below

Strengths:

• Crosshairs – the weapon was designed to be highly accurate. Considering the punch it packs, the weapon is fairly stable fired at a high rate.
• Quiet Death – based on the Verpine Shattergun technology, each shot is virtually silent

Weaknesses:

• Strip It Again? – this weapon requires the wielder to field strip and clean the weapon after engagements to ensure prime working condition
• Those Balls Cost How Much? - the pellets are highly specialized and machine cut to specification in order to accommodate the small size of the pistol. This is specialized ammunition that is not commonly found

DESCRIPTION
When Malicar Raith worked for the Chiss Expeditionary Intelligence Division, he requested handguns built to his specifications. These items were based off of Verpine Shatter Gun technology packed into a handgun variant. He commissioned Zeralith Defense Technologies to develop this weapon based of the CEID version.

I do love shatter guns. Unfortunately, in this instance, you're a little over on the ratings. I'll need you to rejiggle it by two if you want this approved.

Quiet Death – based on the Verpine Shattergun technology, the weapon is virtually silent when shot

Furthermore, you'll want to add the near-silence of each shot to the strengths.

No Prisoners – the weapon has no option for any sort of stun or nonlethal capability

And you'll also want to create a more meaningful weakness than this. Basically 'It done kill real well' isn't quite a strong enough to give this a sense of balance. I suggest you take a look at other shatter gun pistols that have passed through the factory if you need inspiration.
