Liebermann Laser

A precision-engineered threat device, the Liebermann laser appears as a compact, metallic apparatus with a sleek barrel and glowing targeting reticle. Its clinical design belies its lethal purpose—when activated, a thin, invisible beam lances from the emitter, capable of piercing armor or flesh with surgical efficiency. Characters respond to its presence with immediate tension, recognizing it as a tool of intimidation rather than defense.
