protection it gives.

standard E-Clip

rifle is of limited availability and is heavier than the K-5. Because of
this, the K-5 is quite popular with adventurers from Atlantis. Like the

Plasma Ejector. The weapon is lighter as well although it has a slightly
reduced range. Even with the reduced range, most greatly prefer the E5

which improves accuracy when fired. Like the original, the weapon uses
an energy cannister and does not use normal E-Clips.
Weight: 10 lbs (4.5 kg)
