The weapon is capable of launching up to four large explosive plasma grenade-like bolts at a single target, these can be fired individually or all at once if charged for a short time. The bolts track vehicles and bipeds in a similar way to the [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]]. These bolts will continue to track even if the operator is killed.<ref name="Bnet"/>They will also stick to the target on impact, like plasma grenades.
