where its limb-destroying effects can be put to precision use. Its accuracy is not poor for a semi-auto rifle, but will often miss at longer range, making it more effective at short to medium ranges. On the killing shot, a spike may tear off the struck limb or head, and possibly pin it to a fixed object, for example, a wall or the floor.
Though only moderately damaging, it is very effective at dealing limb damage (due to a 3x limb damage multiplier), able to cripple limbs with just one shot. The gun fires railway spikes as crude flechettes, making a distinctive 'toot-toot' noise after each shot like a train whistle.
