The Raskolnikov is a new type of weapon. Not so new in fact. Known in some past of the world as the Rascal, and in others as the Russian (after its unfortunate adoption in very dangerous game), the Raskolnikov is a double edged sword.
The Raskolnikov is the leveller. Everyone should have one. Or no-one. Nothing in-between is fair or just.
The Raskolnikov is the push-me-pull-you, the palindrome, the lottery ticket from heaven and hell, all wrapped up in one.
You may choose fire the Raskolnikov, but remember it may choose to fire you. With exquisite justice, the Raskolnikov is the god-with-dice of weapons. It can slay the target or the shooter. It does so with complete and uniform randomness. Home invaders may snatch the weapon from your hands, and find themselves at the wrong end of the barrel, because both ends are equally deadly. The assailant on the metro or in the war is no more likely to gain an advantage. This is the Ultimate Leveller. Accept no substitutes.
