Another long-retired weapon, this antimatter rifle was too dangerous for military use.
The antimatter is suspended in a magnetic field; one weakness of the weapon is that if it can be deprived of power (or, indeed, badly damaged), the field fails and the antimatter reacts with the surrounding matter, causing a large explosion which does 3d6 damage in a 15' radus burst (destroying the weapon, of course).
The inherent danger of using an antimatter weapon makes this rifle popular with thugs and wannabes.
