The {{name}} is a high tier pistol that may at first appear to have no function. It does not cause any damage or other effects.
A {{name}} is a high tier pistol that does not inflict damage. Instead, its sole effect is to nullify [[normality]]-inducing phenomena. This includes only {{favilink|normality gas}} and {{favilink|normality field|plural}}.
 
Instead, the {{name|possessive}} sole purpose is to nullify normality-inducing fields and effects. Currently, this includes only {{favilink|normality gas}} and {{favilink|normality field|plural}}.


The {{name}} consumes an enormous amount of energy when fired. With a fully-charged {{favilink|chem cell}}, one can only get two uses out of it.

When the {{name|possessive}} projectile passes through a cell with something that it can nullify, it will destroy that target and begin chaining to nearby cells. So, for example, if fired through a very large cloud of normality gas, the {{name}} will destroy all of the gas along it's projectile's trajectory, and much of the gas in the surrounding area. Normality-inducing phenomena in the projectile's cell and immediately adjacent cells will be unerringly destroyed. The effect will continue chaining outward, with a 10% reduced chance to destroy normality-inducing phenomena for each tile further away from the {{name|possessive}} projectile.{{Code Reference|class=DestroyContiguous|name=DestroyContiguous}}
