Flechette

From Traxus

The flechette is a powerful, accurate automatic weapon, which requires skill to use effectively. Once one gets the hang of it, however, it can be used as a sniping weapon and a powerful alternative to the Assault Rifle. It is notable for using ammunition very fast and having a very large sprite which can block the screen. It also works underwater, making it extremely effective against F'lickta and other underwater nasties.

The technical name for the flechette is the "KKV-7 SMG Flechette".
