A use for cyberhands!

Sounds good here.

So are these things really thin bullets? How does armor affect the outcome

Again, what role does armor play? (I don't know the tazer rules off hand.
So I'm a bit rusty on them...)
> Name/option Cost
> Taser/Razor Combo, one dart
> no battery 11,000 nY
> Each additional dart 1,000 nY
> Grade 1 battery 200 nY
> Grade 2 battery 450 nY
> Grade 3 battery 750 nY
> Grade 4 battery 1,000 nY
> Battery replacement door 200 nY
> Dart & Wire retractor 1,500 nY
What's the essence cost? (Or is it 'free' like the cyberguns?) Also,
what's the legality of this item?
Another thought or two. First, what if I use monofilament wire as my
charge line? Can I use this like a monofilament whip during the retraction
stage? Can I charge it with juice and whip someone?
Second, Can I use the battery at short range? What I mean is, what if I
get within melee range, I make a grapple test, I hold my chrome hand to
this guy's spinal cord, and >ZAP<. instant CK. Is this possible?
