The Sear Gun was originally developed as a cutting tool, but was found to be too imprecise. It was discovered, however, that if you increase the power output tenfold it turned into a formidable weapon.

Output from a Sear Gun is a continuous discharge of energy. The energy is phase shifted such that it easily slices through most matter giving its impressive severance rating. This, however, has the side effect of making the energy beam highly unstable, causing it to look like a widely vibrating line of energy and making it difficult to aim.

You can't get a higher severance rating in a weapon unless you go to a much more expensive assault cutting laser, however it has some major drawbacks. A Sear Gun is unable to be used effectively by a Sharp Shooter - ie: no aimed rounds and regular attacks have a significant negative to hit depending on the size of the weapon. Targetting tactical scanners and scopes are also unusable with a Sear Gun.
