Spawn of Lirka
Art from Warhammer 40k Wiki
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Fires high-velocity, break-apart shards that cause significant damage but reduce range and consistency.
- Semi-automatic with a high rate of fire, designed for intense close-range combat.
- Powerful recoil dampening system that reduces weapon strain, but still causes substantial kickback during use.
- Customizable with laser sights and micro suppressors for enhanced close-quarters performance.
- Compact design ideal for personal defense and concealed carry.
- Armor-piercing capabilities due to the high energy impact of the disintegrating rounds.
- Massive stopping power at close range due to the sheer energy behind each round
- Slow rate of fire but contains damage potential in close-quarters engagements
- Lightweight and compact, ideal for covert operations and concealed carry
- Strong recoil management allows for effective use in rapid fire despite the weapon's power
- Durable and reliable in extreme combat environments
- High recoil makes it difficult to maintain accuracy and consistency, requiring significant skill to control
- Reduced effective range, with the weapon becoming ineffective at mid to long distances
- Break-apart rounds lead to poor sustained fire accuracy, as the rounds lose their form and velocity shortly after being fired
- Low magazine capacity, requiring frequent reloading under combat pressure
- Difficulty in maintaining precise fire when used for extended bursts
The KX-44 Shard Pistol is a high-powered, semi-automatic sidearm designed for intense close-quarters combat. It utilizes a magnetized rail system to fire rounds that are propelled at extreme velocities. These rounds break apart shortly after being fired, creating massive recoil and delivering significant damage upon impact. While the pistol is effective in close-range engagements, its recoil and unpredictable round dispersion make it difficult to control, reducing its accuracy over longer distances. As a secondary weapon, it is used by elite operatives, officers, and soldiers within the House of Ka who require a weapon capable of overwhelming close-range firepower.
