Equipment/Proposed/Agent Delivery System(AGS)

The (Chemical) Agent Delivery System is an outgrowth of tranquilizer and paint ball gun technologies. Originally developed as a less than lethal weapon for police forces, it has found its way into many an armory for its versatility. It fires a slow moving, big caliber projectile that bursts at impact and releases its contents on the target. Typical payloads are acids, short lived poisons(contact or gaseous), self igniting incendiary agents(white phosphor/napalm derivations) and marking substances. The projectile itself has no penetration depth even against unarmored targets. It is commonly used in highly populated areas, where the use of grenades and rockets with similar payloads is inadvisable due to risk of civilian casualties.

Battle Implications

This weapon allows accurate delivery of specialized payloads over short to medium distances. Handling times comparable to the riot shotgun. 21 to 30 rounds per magazine. Effective range is about pistol/SMG range depending on the payload.

Fire modes:

• single
• auto(3 rounds)

The ADS is available from the start, but initial payloads are of limited use. Research, especially autopsies and armor analysis, will yield more effective munitions.

Damage Type

Depending on payload

• stun
• fire
• special

Skill

• assault or close
