About the Xerrol Nightstinger

The Xerrol Nightstinger is the assassin's rifle, its signature feature a bolt that fires nearly invisible, drawing on rare Xerrol gas to strip its energy discharge of the telltale flash that would betray the shooter's position. A sniper can work in near-total darkness, or in plain sight of a crowd, and put a bolt into a target from a hundred feet without a muzzle bloom to give the game away. Such weapons were exotic and expensive, the province of professional killers who valued anonymity above all, and a hit delivered by one often left investigators with no idea where the shot had come from. Two hands and a patient hide are the price. It trades some raw power for its silence and invisibility, but for the work it was built for, nothing matters more than the shot no one saw.
