The N144 Prototype Railgun is Raveshaw's main weapon.
Appearance
The Railgun is a special weapon possessing rails that propel the bullet at extreme speeds instead of barrels. It also has a scope mounted on the top and features a bulky design. Clips are loaded into the bottom part of the weapon.
Function
The Railgun fires devastating rounds propelled at extreme speeds by magnetic coil induction. It does high damage against everything, and it is able to kill infantries in one hit with a headshot, akin to sniper rifles. However, shorter range, rate of fire, and longer reloading times make the Railgun not effective as Sniper Rifles or Ramjet Rifles when it comes to infantry. Still, a skilled wielder is able to deal with both infantry and vehicles at once.
Note that Railgun leaves a highly visible trace after firing; therefore switching locations often is advised.
