Lore

“

While the electromagnetic mechanics of this weapon are essentially identical to those of the rook autoturret, the ammunition provides a critical difference between these portable arms. In a nod to the grapeshot used in dragon-slaying cannons, scattergun casings are packed with a mass of tiny bullets, exponentially widening the range of devastation inflicted by a single discharge.
