I never expected that the list would react so strongly to a silly
little idea like that! :)
First off, thanks to those who gave me well thought out advice -
whether I agree with it or not.
I've re-read the appropriate sections of the Grimoire, Awakenings,
Corp. Sec. and checked the whole FAT BAC/FAB BAT deal in the logs, and
I think I've come up with a new version of the Chunk Launcher that
might be better.
CHUNK LAUNCHER V. 2.0
It's no longer cyberware - now it's simply an attached weapon, similar
to the Forearm Snap Blades. The reason I tried cyber first was to make
it more of a hold out weapon.
The CL's aiming mechanism is strapped solidly to the users forearm, it
is then connected to a small, but powerful pump, that mounts on the
users belt, and rides just above the user's buttocks. The pump is
connected to the aiming mechanism via heavy duty surgical tubing.
When activated by muscular triggers in the forearm, the CL's powerful,
compact surgical scoop (I need a better word for what is basically an
automated scalpel:)) which removes several grams of fat from the
users' buttocks.
That tissue is then rapidly moved into a pressurized container, and
then upon acheiving sufficient pressure - fired through the tube, and
from the aiming mechanism.
Dmage done to physical targets is near minimal. (Maybe 3L?) however
the messy tissue can easily blind if placed in the eyes. Nose and
mouth shots would also be unpleasant (unless you normally eat human
tissue ala. ghouls.:))
Against astral tragets, there is NO damage, however, (depending on how
you work it in your game :)) the target can be knocked back by the
impact. Also, the displacement of the tissue, body fluids, and blood
can serve to "outline" the astral target, allowing other attackers to
better aim FAB weapons, or other containment devices at the target.
There. Better now?:)
