Verpine sniper rifle
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
Verpine sniper rifles, also known simply as a Verpine or Verp, were specialized weapons based on the Verpine's shatter gun design. The weapons were silent yet lethal. The weapon also had the ability to fire an amazing array of slugthrower ammunition, if necessary, Kal Skirata once joked that it could fire a rock and still not make a sound.
Ram Zerimar carried one of these rifles in Zerria's Bar on Drall, when he was present in meeting between Boba Fett and other Mandalorians in 40 ABY.

[edit] Behind the scenes
The image shows a custom-made Verpine Sniper Rifle with a bipod, made by the U.S. soldier Raymond Ramirez, a fan with a special connection to Karen Traviss and Star Wars. He made a Verpine Sniper Rifle on Karen Traviss's request which she posted on her livejournal.com blog - the entry has, unfortunately, been deleted, but an image of the weapon can be found here. Ramirez's blog has been featured on StarWars.com[1], where a smaller image of the Verpine sniper rifle with bipod can be found. One of his blog entries goes deep into the weapon's functions.
