The Verpine Shatter RIfle is an incredibly high powered Slugthrower rifle created by the Verpine species. It uses magnetic fields to fire small slugs at supersonic speeds, producing a distinctive and audible crack as the round breaks the speed of sound. While the rounds used in this weapon are relatively small, it's railgun like firing speed allows it to impact a target with immense force and inflict great kinetic damage. They are rare outside the Roche Asteroid Field, and incredibly fragile.
{{this_item}} has been modified to fire microrockets instead of normal projectiles. Propelled by internal propellant reserves, they continue to increase in speed as they travel, increasing range marginally and penetration substantially at long range. However, the lack of an initial explosion makes these projectiles incredibly ineffective at very close ranges.
BB-4B Splinter Rifle has been coated in a thin layer of chromium, giving it a reflective mirror like finish. It gives this Verpine Shatter Rifle an unmistakable appearance that draws attention and gives an appearance of luxury.
