An extraordinary rifle.
Used by Robert Red, Created by Lord_of_Clueless.
On Legendary Artifact Cursed remains of cosmic horror.

It looks like something that might be consider an organ. Of what creature you would rather not now . A thing like a heart which was former pumping liquids on an insane speed through the monsters body being used as a weapon to hunt monster, almost ironic.

Using something of such disgusting origin should turn most people’s stomach around. Robert would normally never use such vices but in his crusade it was an evil that he would have to deal with.
