Data Sources
Census API source:		Shuriken API Data?

The Shuriken is a submachine gun available to the Terran Republic. It is unlocked upon completion of the Master Submachine Guns directive.

The Shuriken is an 'auraxium' variant of the SMG-46 Armistice, sharing most of the same base stats. Aside from the unique name and special 'auraxium' camo, the Shuriken additionally comes with an Extended Magazine, Forward Grip, and High Velocity Ammunition built into the weapon, though it has a longer reload time in exchange.

Some of the Shuriken's attachments do not work entirely as expected. The Forward Grip and Extended Magazine provide their expected benefits to the gun, however neither impose an equip time penalty on the weapon. The loaded High Velocity Ammunition functions normally.

Damage Fall-off

• 125 before 4 meters
• 112 at 22 meters
• 100 at 39 meters
