Unghil's Scale Shredder

This particular Drathonian gun is something of a relic that has recently been modified with current technology and materials to once more pick up the mantle of infiltration and CQC weapon. It's name is derived from its originator and its original role in war: to shred the scales of opposing Drathonians. In the new war with the Terrans, however, it was realized that their simple armor and supple skin is very susceptible to this design.

The simplest way to describe it would be to say that an “ammo block” is placed inside the “shotgun.” When the trigger is pulled, the firing mechanism strips off several aerodynamically-designed armor-piercing flechettes which are pushed into the barrel. These projectiles are then flung down the barrel via magnetic propulsion, maintaining a high muzzle velocity and a tighter spread than any Terran shotgun. Be afraid, very afraid.

Also, these are fairly easy for Drathonians to one-hand, and can occasionally be found to dual-wield these in narrow corridors, such as those of a ship.

* Primary Role: Anti-personnel, CQC
* Secondary Role: Most meshes, light metals & alloys
* Damage Rating Value: immensely heavy at point-blank, heavy up to 10 yards, medium up to 25 yards, light up to 50 yards. Negligible at most distances beyond.
* Range: ER: 50 yards. MR: 100 yards (just don't expect to get much done).
* Rate of Fire: 1 per second
* Payload: 12 shots
