The gun was a used Neo-Matter Rifle Val bought for cheap at a yard sale. The previous owner told her that it could penetrate any material except Metanium. Since Metanium is a very rare metal, Val brought it to the mission thinking "Eh, what are the chances I'd be fighting someone wearing Metanium armor today?"
Blagtar's armor suits were all getting cleaned that day, with the exception of his Metanium armor. He reluctantly wore it, hoping that whoever he's fighting will use a weapon that just happens to be weak against it.
