designed for making large holes in Battle Dress. IIRC it's basically a small number
of shaped charges on a string - the idea is that they will land and explode in
very short order on the same place. The sequence of explosions on a progressively
weakened area should penetrate armour of even a much high TL than the weapon.
Sadly, my Google searches have failed to turn up more than vague mentions (once I
ploughed through about a million links to what I think are World of Warcraft sites).
Can anyone enlighten me about this weapon? I'm not really after a gearhead definition,
more a description I can build on.The Splat Gun, is a Space Gamer #56 thingy for CT. It fires 10 rounds at once, knida, 5 HEAP shells are fired immediately followed up by 4 HE rounds. Designed as anti Armor shotgun with one shot.Note it migrated into GURPS Ultratech in earlier editions.I am surprised the Thudd Gun didn't give a whole bunch of 40k Orc references....--Evyn----- The Traveller Mailing List Archives at http://archives.simplelists.com/tml Report problems to xxxxxx@simplelists.com To unsubscribe from this list please go to http://www.simplelists.com/confirm.php?u= gi277fSUTkyFeQYIkUkn6zf5f3dXCa 4l
