The XR-005 Hailstorm is a weapon believed to be developed by the American Military. It fires
a large quantity of sharp needles at extreme velocity, hence why it's called the Hailstorm. It actually holds the title of being the fastest firing weapon in the game, and also the weapon with the
largest ammo capacity. Considering its usefulness it actually has a very good range and an added bonus is that the
needles bounce off of objects, so they can be ricocheted around corners.
The secondary fire - Auto Turret - is vastly different from the primary fire. As the name suggests, upon firing, it creates a cirular turret which homes in on the nearest target until
everything is dead, or nothing is in range. The ammo for this turret is provided by an entire clip of Hailstorm ammunition, so you can only create six of these turrets before
the ammo is depleated.
Tip: If you happen to run round a corner into a large group of enemies, pop up an Auto Turret and run back around the corner to safety while the Turret rips them all
to shreds.
