There is word that you may possess sniping skills. Is this information correct?

Am I allowed to know what makes it special beforehand, or do I have to wait and see?

LATE FOREVER

Considering the expenses involved, keeping the nature of that would be counter-productive.

The bullet shatters upon near-impact, releasing small nanomachines carrying chemicals that dig into the skin and administering a mixture of chemicals designed to paralyze the target, detach them from their connection to their other selves, and halt any advances they might have. Non lethal, as we wouldn't want to outright kill them, after all... although some of the drugs have a side effect of being highly addictive.

If this sounds too complicated, you may think of it as a persona suppressant in drug form.

I WILL WAIT FOREVER

I would rather not use something like that.
