Used by assassins, the Xerrol nightstinger is a sporting blaster rifle designed for sniping at long range. Instead of using an energy cell for ammunition, the nigthstinger utilizes special canisters of exotic gasses that produce powerful shots that are invisible to the eye, so a sniper can fire the weapon without revealing their position. Imperial snipers make use of an unusual tactic, firing at special redirection crystals to create confusion and divert attention to another location.
Each gas canister contains enough charges for five shots and costs 1,000 credits.
