It shoots bullets that explode into five smaller bullets, in a pattern similar to the petals of a pimpernel flower. If it spawns as an Incendiary rifle with no additional accessories, it's actually called the "Scarlet Pimpernel". Furthering the reference, its unique flavor text is "Sink me!", and it has a logo of two crossed swords behind a pimpernel flower.
