Torqueshell Rifle

Overview
The  is a Sniper class weapon, requiring Training in Torqueshell Guns. It's a very long range single-target weapon that features extremely high damage per shot. Unlike most other weapons the damage decreases if the target is closer than the optimal range, and the maximum range is so long you can fire at virtually anything you can see. Fully trained, the weapon bypasses armor more effectively than any other non-virulent weapon.
