A custom verpine assault rifle of average size, this weapon is equipped with a power pack capacity for one one thousand shots and with a standard canister of one hundred pellets. This weapon is effective within medium to long ranges, up to 600 meters, and its accuracy drops after sustained fire. As the weapon is of verpine design, the magnetically coiled launched projectiles are nearly silent when fired, making the weapon an asset in Strider's covert operations where stealth and surprise is critical.
