Quotes
""One for the pros. Not outrageously powerful, but highly accurate. This weapon really comes into its own in the hands of someone with good aim.""

- In-game description

"Its shots don't spread much, and it has excellent rapid-fire capability. It could be said to be a bit lacking in attack power, but zero in on a target and they'll burst in no time flat. Plus, this bad boy comes equipped with s as a sub weapon, and as a special weapon."
