In its standard firing mode, the shock rifle fires a burst of three [[Wikipedia:Electrolaser|electrolaser]]s,{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}{{Ref/Reuse|CFBloodMoon}} with an effective range of at least roughly three hundred meters.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR19}} The shock rifle also features an alternative fire mode requiring a short charge time to unleash a single powerful [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]]-inducing bolt.{{Ref/Reuse|forge}} In any of the weapon's firing modes, the electrolasers are capable of emitting an [[electromagnetic pulse]], and as few as three standard shots are capable of downing the shields on an [[F-41 Broadsword]] fighter.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR19}} When used against [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR GEN3 armor]], shock rifles are capable of knocking out the integrated systems inside the helmet, including playing havoc with the integrated [[night vision device]], [[heads-up display]], [[energy shielding]], [[Smart-linking|smart link]], and magnetic weapon mounts.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR21|HSoR|Chapter=21}} If the shock rifle is fired on a target with others tightly gathered around it, electricity can arc between the targets, dealing damage to each of them.{{Ref/Reuse|EarlyLook}} Some vehicles like the [[M12B Warthog]] and [[Riuctda Workshop Ghost|Banished Ghost]] can become temporarily disabled if repeatedly fired upon by the rifle.{{Ref/Reuse|SepTest}}

The shock rifle's top-loaded battery pack contains a charge of power units, a quarter of which are rapidly spent in each burst from the weapon.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} When fired, the shock rifle emits a characteristic ''sizzle'' sound.{{Ref/Reuse|SepTest}}{{Ref/Reuse|SOR21}}
