Verpine shatter rifle
The Verpine shatter rifle was a type of shatter gun created by the insectoid Verpine. The rifle used magnetic fields to fire small slugs at high speeds unattainable by typical slugthrowers, and produced a distinctive, audible crack as their metal-alloy projectiles broke the speed of sound.

DESCRIPTION
After facing a set of Verpine Sniper rifles at the hands of Triam Akovin and her team, Vulpesen found himself falling in love with the object that had nearly taken his life, and was further inspired to better prepare his men, some of which had died in the attacks on Geonosis. Out of these bouts of inspiration, Vulpesen thought of the design for the Coyote Verpine Sniper rifle. Coming up with a design for both the weapon and the ammunition, the result he would come up with was a larger set of magnets which could propel the bullet faster and farther.
While most Veran Weaponry is created with the idea of being versatile, the VSF Coyote is dedicated to doing one thing and doing it very well. While made to survive the rigors of the field, a strong hit against the barrel could cause the magnets within the misalign, decreasing accuracy, or in severe cases, causing the bullet to collide with the inside of the barrel, causing a catastrophic failure of the weapon. Each round is loaded by a bolt action mechanism, which upon seating the round, also primes the magnets for propulsion.
All VSF Coyotes, like most VSF armaments, are shielded against EMP blasts to ensure usage of the weapon even if caught by a nearby EMP grenade.
