Description

The rifle accelerates electrically charged metal slugs to high velocity. Impact can electrocute a target, induce convulsions, or ignite flammable clothing and equipment. Imperial specialists value it where a physical projectile and electrical after-effect are preferable to conventional blaster fire.
