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.
