I had one of these weapons for a few hours, then promptly traded it. Why? you are all saying.
Because, this weapon takes all the fun out of the game. It's SO easy, I could walk around Ruins V.Hard by myself as a level 45 Ranger with no fear of dieing.
So, before you trade all your cool, fun items for one of these, think again. Nowadays you'll see me usin' a C-Bringer Rifle or a Final Impact, because neither of these weapons unbalances the game like the S. Needle did.
