This rifle possesses an angular design and metallic casing. It appears to be held together, at least partly, by energy fields as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. Orange markings and lights are present while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; there is also a column of orange energy that runs through the center of the weapon, possibly the "barrel". These highlights and the barrel grow brighter when the weapon is fired.
