Suppressor Gun

Suppressor Gun
Suppressor guns are a type of firearm that gained both popularity and notoriety shortly after the last Great War. Given the toll constant warfare has taken on the planet, the act of murder (at least near Grand Cathedral) has become an increasingly heinous offense, punishable not by death, but by years of excruciating torture. Aware of this, firearms were eventually modified to fire non-lethal projectiles - typically electric stun darts or rubberized rounds. However, the latter became so wide-spread that rubberized munitions came into regular use due to the fact that while they are non-lethal, the over-all damage produced by them became favorable over simply killing an opponent.

Suppressor guns featuring non-lethal rounds often cause internal damage and in some cases immobilization of limbs, bone-breakage, and often disorient victims greatly enough to capture and then detain them elsewhere, if looking to torture and/or end a life. Suppressor arms come in all shapes and sizes and the only way to discern one from a regular firearm is simply by the projectile it fires. Although, since the ammunition is usually much larger than standard lethal rounds, they can generally be identified by unusually shaped magazines, over-bore feed wells, or simply being much larger than standard size-- due to the tremendous kickback upon firing. They are also much more unwieldy and require much skill and upper-strength to handle. Very rarely can even a pistol be fire with a single hand, without a fortified stance.
