+==== Game Description ====
+"The fastest weapon in its price range, the neutron blaster uses a double chamber design to shoot high-energy blasts of neutrons. The Shuriken is manufactured by the Bushido corporation."
+==== Notes ====
+Fast firing, quite damaging to low-level shields with superb effective range as well, this [[game/items/weapon_list|weapon]] was formerly very well known as the notorious "newbie killer" of Sung [[game:ships:wind slaver]].
+However, since version 0.99 [[Sung slavers]] very rarely appear before the [[/game/items/list_of_systems|Charon system]], the newly-added [[class V deflector]] is virtually immune to this weapon, and the weapon's lifetime is much shortened (halved, actually) and not just these changes made this weapon no longer a serious threat, they also made it just inferior and obsolete substitution for the [[dual particle beam weapon]], while the price staying the same. \\
+The halved range is especially critical and currently the [[X-ray laser cannon]] (which has the same effective range and much better firepower) should generally be a better choice, if available.
