Overview

The Needler Pistol is a vicious weapon that fires a spray of tiny fletchettes which easily shreds flesh. These fletchettes are created by shredding a polymer-composite block and fired by a burst of compressed gas, making it noiseless with little to no recoil and the favorite choice of assassins. However, it is an incredibly short-ranged weapon with almost no armor penetration capabilities. This limits its use to self-defense and close-quarters combat, as well as an ideal weapon for boarding space-vessels.[1]

The Neelder Pistol is lighter and cheaper than the Needler Rifle and is a favorite back-up weapon throughout the Inner Sphere.[1]
