Overview
"The Nekomata is a demanding weapon. It requires care, regular service, and time to learn how to best use it. But it's worth it. Really, really worth it. This electromag sniper rifle is a technological marvel. The tungsten spike it launches can pierce the thickest armor and walls, and shatter titanium bones. No one is safe from the Nekomata's destructive force, which is why sale of this rifle is strictly regulated. It's almost impossible for mercenaries outside the employ of a government or major megacorp to get their hands on one... Almost."

- Database Entry

The Tsunami Nekomata uses electromagnetic rail technology to speed up projectiles to incredible speeds making them capable of penetrating even heavy armor and giving considerable range to the weapon. The weapon has to charge up fully before firing to attain maximum power and consequently has a low fire rate but high damage and range.

Note that when charging the weapon, the weapon will begin to shake uncontrollably. This makes sniping with the charged shot a difficult procedure.
