Trivia

  • The weapon is likely a reference to the Laser Rifle from X-COM: UFO Defense, which it strongly resembles in both appearance and function. In addition, the description may be a reference to the fact that the Laser Rifle could be manufactured for a low cost and sold at a profit, in addition to costing nothing but money; these factors made it an extremely ubiquitous weapon, much like the [AK-47AK-47] in modern culture.
  • It may also be a reference to the more recent X-COM games, which also sport similar looking laser weapons.
  • If the player also has [Vorpal BulletsVorpal Bullets] while they have the Starburst Fire synergy, it is possible for [Vorpal BulletsVorpal Bullets] to trigger multiple times in a row, and will deal massive damage to bosses. With damage increases, it can instantly kill them, too.
