"Another Thumper variant, with more damage but less explosion radius."

It has a slightly smaller damage radius compared to the Thumper D, but it does more damage. Despite there being only three variations, the Thumper class weapons are the most commonly used weapon, used more than the Spinfusors, which have eleven variations.
