Manual Description:

This is a directed energy weapon. It is capable of either semiautomatic or automatic fire (pull and hold the Right trigger for automatic fire). Continuous rapid fire overheats the weapon--this in turn depletes the weapon's power core.

---

An excellent supplemental weapon. Backs up almost anything well. Note that a fully-automatic stream of shot will temporarily stun an opponent. Cannot be reloaded.
