Hi out there.


1 CHOPPER Mentioned the silent bullet ( where the gasses
sre trapped buy a piston).
As far as i know this thing does exist but as some one
mentioned there would be the loading problems ( i would give
refs but ive just finished reading 3 digests and a traveller
digest and am a bit full in the head.)
BUT this doesnt mean that they arnt out there, shadow
run has a lot of the bizzare in the woodwork.

2 With the turn to lead spell this would havve a high
drain but then again its worth it, the advantage the bullet has
over suffocting some one is the bullet can be dilivered and
kills Quickly,

3 If you think the turn to lead one is evil,..... Try this
one for sick...... Turn to ANTIMATTER ( jumps up and down ,
clapps hand in glee) .
Now what would happen if a toxic shamen got hold of this, his
totem would be willing to give him the spell IF it suted the
totems wish`s. The PCs would be involved in trying to stop him
perhaps?

Thats all for now
Lawrence Bryant

To my knowledge there are two <ahem> weapons that use a piston
principle to vastly reduce the noise and muzzle flash of firing.

One is the fly-k light mortar and the other is a west german
armbrust anti-tank missile. Both are very quiet and produce no
muzzle flash. Of course, when the warhead goes off....
