    Woah, is this some sort of glitch gun? It has unlimited ammo, does 886 damage, and has a description that is just 1s and 0s. What's up with that?

    No, it's one of the alien weapons you can find; there's a small collection of them. The numbers are just a joke towards the binary code.

    No, it's not a glitch. They're pretty common.

    Use a binary to English translator and see what your gun says.

    One of them translated says " Haduken" 
     
    The text IN the gun info can be translated if I recall right.

    Just so you know, they might seem cool, but they aren't actually very good. The main problem is the cooldown period. If you plan on using them, have several of them equipped at once so you can switch between them while the others recharge.

    The real issue is by the time you get them your other weapon skill levels are very high. Once you get the alien weapon skill up they are amazing.

    Well, even with a high Eridian proficiency they're still pretty crummy. Most are fairly weird/erratic (ammo bouncing off the walls etc...) and they're almost always electric (which means they're mainly just good against shields). Oh, and they slow you down too :P
     
    Basically, there's no real reason to use them since there are plenty of much better weapons to use.

    Pretty much how I felt about them too. For each character I created, their Eridian proficiency never went higher than like rank 2.
