Yeah, it's pretty much an application-specific weapon.

Well it has a very high ROF. Accuracy is better as the rounds being so close together means they all hit the same area. I've heard stuff like you can preload stuff like HE, then a flare, then AP, though I have my doubts about that as how can you know you'll want rounds in a specific order. Think Judge Dredd where he calls what round he wants. Of course a lawgiver is also an O'Dwyer pistol. From what I gather you don't carry new magazines but spare barrels. For PD purposes it's good as instead of a gatling type Aegis system you have a stream of fire on target .Descriptions say it looks like a sci-fi laser beam.
