WMP rifles are considered to be the pre-eminent knock-down weapon. In the hands of a skilled sharp-shooter, this type of rifle can blast a full-grown bull-Herboven on its ass. In addition to their inherent damage, if a target is unable to move with response to the blast (such as against an armoured wall) then the discharge force applies additional damage - at the usual rate of 1 stamina per 1000 N.

The main drawback is that the weapons massive recoil needs to be accounted for. Only very powerful beings may use this weapon unmounted.
