Another disgusting high-tech weapon I use. For best results suspend a layer
of grit in the water stream. Use a high-pressure system. Apply liberally.

Given the reaction to the last weapon I posted, I don't think I'll post
stats on the thing. ;-)

Send them to me privately then. I would like to know how
you deal with the water once it slows down.
I was thinking along the lines of the air needle
actually, Make a sword with a hollow tube at its center and small ports
on the flat of the blade. Cuts like a normal sword but the airjets shred
the wound, making it very hard to stich up. Maybe add another L or M
wound if one is suffered?
