Steve,
I like that you did a write up for monowire rounds, but personally I think you
made the damage to light and the monowire too short. I do agree with Legion on
the subject of legality. This would have to be military/police (personally I
don't think police should have these either) item.
The reason I think the damage is too light is a monowhip does 10S when it is
whiped around by someone with a measely strength of 1. The monorounds you
posted gained all of 2 points of power from being launched out of a gun. Now
I don't remember how much damage NAGRL gives for monowire, but I was thinking
around a 12D damage code.
I also think the wire was too short because the ones in Chromebook II, the
inspiration of this nasty little weapon, have lengths of 1 meter for the shotgun
round, 2m for 25mm gernade launcher (yes, rounds for a grenade launcher!), 2.5m
for a 30mm gernade launcher, and 3m for a 40m gernade launcher.
Now this is some seriously nasty stuff. You can shot down entire groups of
people with the gernade laucnher rounds.

See Ya in Shadows,
Jason J Carter
The Nightstalker
