A magnetic carbine with no maker's mark and no serial, issued only to Echelon Interdiction Teams and not sold. It throws a subsonic slug on a magnetic launch, so it is quiet at distance and leaves no muzzle signature. Echelon's official position is that the program does not exist. Its Suppress setting deals 2d8 lightning damage and leaves a creature reduced to 0 hit points Unconscious instead of dying.
