The player, holding this sniper with both hands, makes this gun shoot single red burning bullets with instant bullet travel time. If the player was still alive after the shot, they would receive a burning effect, making them receive damage continuously for a few seconds. The scope allows long range battles, just like most sniper weapons. When reloading, the magazine from the weapon's bottom is taken out and is replaced by another. This weapon outputs delay to input delay weapons, like the [[Laser Bouncer]], or [[Christmas Spirit]], but this weapon has no input delay. this also has a orangish red scope like the [[Digital Sunrise]].
