- "Verpine Shatter Gun: As with most Verpine Shatter Gun platforms, this one is capable of delivering extreme amounts of kinetic damage with a minimally weighted round. Even with minimal training, a relatively untrained user of the handgun would be able to fire with excellent accuracy at a great distance given their control of the heavy status of the weapon. This makes it an excellent weapon for personal security, officers, and mainline sidearms for regular infantry. In addition, its nearly soundless design and deadly precision make it an excellent choice for would be assassins and killers across the galaxy. Given only a moment's notice, and the proper aim, a murder could be committed with minimal effort or attention brought to the area of the crime. Truly an excellent handgun for the ages."
- "Smart: Using technology borrowed from an infamous flechette pistol, it incorporates a miniature laser tracking system that tagged the target with an electronic homing signature. This enables the weapon's pellets to track and follow the target's movements, adjusting mid-flight. These electronic homing signals are capable of being linked together through the wearer's HUD (if worn) and shared with allies."
- + Can us a wide variety of slugs and slug-like ammunitions.
- + Anti-Force materials to keep FUs from telekinetically stealing or discharging the weapon.
- "Time to Track: When utilizing the tracking functionality, a clear line of sight is required. Aiming the barrel at an enemy isn't good enough for the electronic signal to be tagged, it takes a full five seconds of unobscured sight to successfully place a tag. While the weapon can be fired without the electronic homing signal, operators will notice greatly reduced accuracy."
- + Aside from standard slugs, specialized ammo is difficult to find and acquire for this weapon.
- +Colds half the ammo capacity of a standard verpine shatter gun.
- +The anti-Force materials only affect the gun itself, not the ammunition.
Sahan Dragr brought this handgun to Corbin Vasher for modifications, personalizing it to better fit a Mandalorian bounty hunter. It sports tighter handling, boosted range and fire rate, and packs a bit more punch as a result. Condensed-matter composite even absorbs some of the kinetic vibration when firing, slightly reducing the recoil. FACTS gel seals the weapon, protecting it from environmental damage, such as sand, dirt, or water. This effectively erases one of the major design flaws of the original. A variety of the materials introduced in the modification provide substantial protection from ion damage and EMPs. It is generally very difficult to obtain specialized ammo for this handgun (perhaps maybe able to find one magazine now and then), though standard slugs work decently enough.
After becoming a Forgemaster himself, Sahan modified the gun himself, adding in some upgrades that boost damage. He even reforged the frame, adding voidsteel and case-hardening it with vong bonemeal, so that the gun would resist attempts by enemy Force users from attempting to telekinetically steal the weapon.
