- Effective Range: Long Range (subsonic) | Battlefield (normal firing mode)
- Effective Range (subsonic): 75 meters
- Maximum Range (subsonic): 100 meters

- Rate of Fire: Average.
- Fire mode(s): Semi-automatic.
- Stopping Power: High (subsonic) | Very High (normal firing mode)
- Recoil: Average
- HUD Link: The weapon can transmit its current operational status and ammunition remaining in the current loaded magazine to a compatible HUD. Particularly concerted jamming will not disrupt the datalink given proximity between the user and their weapon. Should they be separated however, it will depend on how far the user is from the weapon.
- Cautionary Pulser (can be toggled on and off)
- Variety of Ammunition: Breshig War Forge Consolidated produces a variety of ammunition for the weapon:
- AP: Armor-piercing rounds with a depleted baradium core designed to act as a penetrator upon impact with armor.
- HE: Deuterium detonator rounds designed to explode on contact with a hard surface.
- Bronzium Full Metal Jacket Rounds: Bronzium jacketed rounds, standard ammunition for the weapon.
- Electro-stun Round: Similar to electro-stun grenades but on a smaller scale, the electro-stun rounds are capable of immobilizing most humanoid targets with three or so impacts, whereupon they release an electric charge, though decidedly stubborn targets might require more rounds. These rounds are also not very effective against hard armored targets.
- EMP: Micro-EMP rounds, unlikely to permanently damage a droid or armor systems, but capable of causing a momentary sensor lag or targeting system delay against unshielded systems. More of a distraction than anything else, though the best warriors know that even a second's worth of time on your enemy is well worth it.
- Tracker Dust Rounds
- Armor-Piercing: The rounds fired by this weapon have a higher chance of penetrating armor and causing significant internal damage than traditional slugthrowers.
- Whisper Quiet: Like all Verpine Shatter weapons, the LRH-series 5A Verpine Shatter Pistol is whisper quiet at the point of the shooter when fired on supersonic mode, and is dead quiet when fired on subsonic throughout the round's trajectory. Only a very faint whistle may be heard in the event of a near miss.
- Pinpoint Accurate: Like most Verpine weapons, the pistol is extremely accurate.
- Small Ammunition Capacity: Equivalent heavy blaster pistols have a far higher capacity.
- Two Consumables: Verpine Shatter weapons need both power cells and loaded magazines to function.
- EMP/Ion Vulnerability: Despite the attempt to protect the weapon's sensitive electronics, a powerful enough EMP/Ion weapon will fry the acceleration coils and render the weapon useless.
- Heavy and Large: The weapon is both large and heavy, which considering its role as an offensive handgun rather than a sidearm isn't entirely a problem. However, that still means the weapon is slower to draw and somewhat more awkward to use in extreme close quarters to an extent. Its purpose as an offensive handgun hasn't stopped some Mandalorians from trying to use it as such, though Breshig War Forge Consolidated is less concerned about said atin'la di'kute.
Designed as a large frame offensive sidearm as part of a joint development project between Breshig Arms and the Verpine Enclave at Breshig and later produced by Breshig War Forge Consolidated, the LRH-series 5A Verpine shatter pistol is a powerful and versatile weapon. Like most contemporary Verpine shatter weapons, this one is both drop safe and EMP hardened. This however does not completely negate the effect of an EMP, and a powerful enough pulse can and will fry the weapon's accelerator assembly. It is an easy to modify weapon, allowing for a wide variety of optics, grips and other weapon addons to be installed without much difficulty. Few Mandalorians have taken to coating the weapon and its magazines in reflec to reduce the weapon's scanner profile.
