    Name: Dakkma Erchius Pistol/Rifle




    Description: A cyberpunk looking sniper rifle,  and pistol, rustic colored, the pistol is roughly the size of a luger and the sniper rifle is roughly the size USMC 40. They both have a small chamber with a closeable latch for reloading Erchius shard clips




    Abilities: - Able to fire Erchius shards, which when stuck into an enemy, will crystallise them over time, as well as cause pain from being semi-impaled by a shard of Erchius




    - Relatively light-weight in comparison to most Fringe weapons.




    - Fast velocity




    Limitations: - Erchius weapons are considered bolt action, and as such take some time to reload, providing a window of opportunity for hostiles




    - More akin to a Dart gun then an actual gun, Armor causes the crystal to either smash or stick into the armor




    How does it work: The rifles act essentially like giant dart rifles, albeit with much higher velocities and different projectiles. The only reason the rifle does not crystalline is due to a specific mineral content of the metals used to create the weapons creating just the environment where the crystals are unable to form beyond the shard, and once it leaves the barrel it will regain its crystallization properties




    Flavor text: Prototyped fairly recently by the Dakkma Engineer Daz Bistan, These weapons are meant to be used by the Wutan clan on Dakka but many are finding their way anywhere but there




    Attainability: [Open][size=-2] (Previously Semi-Open)[/size]
