The Shock Rifle is a weapon in Unreal, Unreal Tournament, UT2003, UT2004, and UT3 as well as UC and UC2.

The Shock Rifle is also known as the ASMD in early games. It is an energy-based weapon that fires either a hitscan bolt or a core (an "orb" of energy which travels across the map until it strikes a solid mass). In addition, you can shoot a bolt at a core to cause a "shock combo", a massive explosion which does considerable damage to anything within its blast radius.

Trivia

As revealed to the public by David Münnich, T. Elliot Cannon (Myscha the Sled dog) stated in a conversation with him that the name "ASMD" is derived from a movie phrase saying And Suck My Dick. This is so far thought to be the official explanation of the weapon's name. Some of the other, more funny and less provocative explanations of its name suggest it could also mean Anyone Seen My Dog, Automatic Spectrum Matching Device, Atomic Shock Mechanism Device and many others.
