Got lucky and pulled the NX ShadowClaw last night. I have to say after all the interwebz hype/hate/BS it's not an over powered God weapon. It's really kind of fun to use on small maps like Nuketown. The range is very limited and it fires on an arch like the Sparrow. The bolt is also slow enough that you can be killed by the person you killed. Running around the bus in Nuketown I fired at a enemy in the doorway. I was able to kill them but they also got me. Watching their kill-cam the player had enough time to ADS and put three rounds in me before my bolt hit them. You can actually see the bolt coming towards them. The positive is this is a one-shot-kill weapon. All-in-all a good run-n-gun weapon on small maps but useless if you're camping a map.
