First of all, Tyger - Jason was right on target about these things
costing no essence because you can't install them intoa bare hand.
The only firing controls are the same as would activate hand
razors, and since they would cost no essence, neither would these.
Next, the legality thing. I suppose these would be slightly
illegal, about as much as a cybergun would be. Of course, you can
get around it by having the correct permits and such bs.
On armor, I think these would be on the same level as a taser,
therefore going against 1/2 Impact rating. I think Jason either
misunderstood or I probably said it wrong in that I didn't mean
these to in totality be "hand razors", but shaped more
streamlined (I thought I said that before, but I'll check) and
therefore, more like "thin bullets". The 45-90 degree curve in
hand razors would not apply in this case. What I meant basically
was, these take up the space a hand razor would (or a little bit
more, for the spool and battery), are retractable like hand razors
(and must be extended before firing), and require the same wiring,
as far as the firing controls.
Hmmm... the reason I didn't want a smartlink, which I wrongly
worded with adaptor, is that since a regular gun hooking to a
smartlink goes to the palm of the hand (in the pix
anyway), and hooks to the gun there, there is no way to hook the
Razortasers into the smartlink, without extra wiring, which I
might put in as an added option.
The reason I put in the replacement door and retraction system in
was basically so you could buy the "cheap" package. Actually,
it's probably not much more expensive, but I'm not totally sure
what I put down. Without the bat. repl. door, you have to have a
cybernetic engineer of some sort (or the guy you had install the
little buggers) replace the battery. And without the retraction
system, you use a pair of scissors (since after the initial
blast, the wire is totally dead) to cut the wire and lose that
half of the setup.
Phewww.... but thanks again for the input. I'll try and redo it
to make some of the things more clear.
