weapons in wipeout 1

[username]

help!!
once i had the instruction manual for wipeout 1 but i lost it. but, i remember beeing a special weapon. it kind of looked like this: +/- but of course it was in a circle, i also remember it said you had to find out for yourself what it did. ive been playing wipeout for about a year now and i still havent got it. has anyone else?? and if so do i have to unlock it or something?
