hmmmm... from everything I've seen and heard here, the Ripper is an automatic pistol with shrapnial rounds and a mighty kick to it. for this reason it's better swung or fired from close quarters. occasionally the rounds can be poisoned. it's also heavy enough to be a good club in close.<br/>a psyker with a ripper pistol... a psyker would be fun<br/>if Alexi dies, I'm playing one
