The {{name}} is a very accurate high-tier [[:Category:Heavy Weapons|heavy weapon]] that is powered by [[:Category:Energy Cells|energy cells]], and which fires [[Vibro weapons|vibro]] projectiles.


Other than rare, randomly-generated relic firearms, the {{name}} is notable for being the only [[missile weapon]] with vibro projectiles.
Other than rare, randomly-generated relic firearms, the {{name}} is notable for being the only [[missile weapon]] with vibro projectiles, although {{favilink|arc winder|plural}} and {{favilink|high-voltage arc winder|plural}} may serve a similar purpose due to not using [[PV]] at all.

The {{name|possessive}} vibro projectiles have adaptive penetration that always matches the target's AV value, meaning that they are almost guaranteed to penetrate and deal damage. This makes the {{name}} an excellent weapon against very high-[[AV]] targets, such as {{favilink|leering stalker|plural}} or {{favilink|chrome pyramid|plural}}. However, the tradeoff is that the {{name}} will usually only penetrate once or twice, and will almost never penetrate more than 3 times. For lower AV targets, a weapon with fixed PV that is significantly higher than the AV of the target would typically do more damage.
