I'm sticking with my theory that it could possibly be a railgun that doubles as a Warhammer, but then again I could be wrong. Correct me on this, but I was on chat yesterday, discussing the mechanics of a railgun.

It eats up a lot of energy, and reloading it is a bit of a bitch. As a bonus, the electrical discharge while charging it can power up the warhammer with lightning properties.

Recoil attack though? One-time overkill smashing hit. The problem with this is that, due to the way it fires, (accelerating the projectile through the use multiple magnets placed inside the barrel) a railgun has no recoil. I personally agree with a lot of people saying grenade launcher, the weapon on Nora's back bares a resemblance to the M32 Multiple Grenade Launcher.

Railguns have a great deal of recoil because they are accelerating a projectile to high speeds, every action has a equal and opposite reaction?
