Special Weapon Effects 
Edit
"I feel like I'm gonna break this thing." - An Eridian Lightning fires a bolt of energy that continuously deals powerful shock damage to the target for a short period of time.
Usage & DescriptionEdit
The Lightning has, unlike many other Eridian weapons, very good stats. It also has extremely powerful elemental damage that can electrocute targets in just a few shots. Even though Shock damage is weak against flesh, the Lightning works well against unshielded enemies. The drawback to the Lightning, like many Eridian weapons, is it has a small "magazine". This drawback limits its effectiveness in heavy combat situations. Having two Eridian weapons equiped at the same time can offset this drawback slightly. This can give one weapon time to recharge while the other is being fired.
Unlike most other weapons in game, the lightning bolt projected by this rifle hits its target instantaneously. Therefore, the compensation required when shooting at distant moving targets with a slower moving projectile is significantly reduced. It also has virtually no recoil, so the gun can be fired rapidly without having to compensate for recoil throwing off accuracy. As with other Eridian weapons, the character moves slightly slower with this gun in hand.
Variations Edit
All versions of this gun have the same accuracy (98.3) and fire rate (2.5), and seem to always appear with scopes. Damage is tied to the gun's level requirement and body type (see Eridian gun variations). The number of shots is dependent on the magazine of the gun (see Eridian Magazines). Eridian Lightnings appear to use 35 units of magazine energy per shot, which leads to an effective magazine capacity of 3 to 6 shots before recharging.

Trivia Edit
The flavor text, "I feel like I'm gonna break this thing." is an almost direct quote from Will Smith's character in Men In Black when he is first given the Noisy Cricket, a laughably small gun which later proves to be enormously powerful.
