Trivia

 * This item was added in Update 10.
 * This item is built in the Clan Dojo.
 * The rifle appears to have several tendril coils surrounding a central bulbous 'eye', giving it some resemblance to an organic, handheld version of Red Alert Tesla coils.
 * A synapse is a nervous system structure that acts as a 'gate' between neurons, allowing electrical signals to be passed between nerve cells. Synapses help form the electrical pathways of the nervous system.
 * Thus, Synapse's name is probably derived from this fact, as it is a biochemical electrical weapon.
 * The word Synapse itself is derived from Greek synapsis (conjunction) and was introduced by an English physiologist Michael Foster at the suggestion of English classical scholar Arthur Woollgar Verall.
 * The current description has a typo; "it ' s".
