Nova | Rising Skull

Description

The Nova | Rising Skull is an especially budget-friendly shotgun, great for surprise attacks-mostly used by teams on an extremely tight budget. The skull motif created with matte paints and oil-based paint marker instills fear into a person upon seeing the weapon. Mr. Izaki, if you don't mind my saying so, I think we can mix it up a bit aside from shotguns? -Imogen and The Oni, Part 1
