The {{name}} is a ranged weapon with the highest possible accuracy for a missile weapon. It can often be found in the early- to mid- game and has quite high penetration for its relatively low tier.
The {{name}} is a ranged weapon with the highest possible accuracy for a missile weapon. It can often be found in the early- to mid- game and has quite high penetration for its relatively low tier.
Though it may resemble one, the {{Name}} is not a laser based weapon and does not inflict light based damage. This means that it does not reduce targets to {{Favilink|ashes}} and its {{Qud shader|W|energy bolt}} projectiles cannot be [[Refractive|refracted]].

The {{name}} also acts as an excellent [[light source]] with a very large radius, equivalent to a {{favilink|glowsphere}} or {{favilink|floating glowsphere}}. It will provide this light while equipped in the missile weapon slot with any non-empty energy cell in it. It does not actually consume energy from the energy cell to sustain the light.

{{Opinion}}
* The {{Name}} makes an excellent ranged weapon for a character who is not otherwise focused on ranged weaponry; it consumes very little power per shot, is accurate and reasonably damaging even with low stats due to its decent penetration, and passively provides light, so even if it's rarely fired it can free up the player's other slots for more useful equipment.
