Cyberware idea: Needler Wrists

[jwc]

Ok, I knew there are knuckle blade cyberwares, and there was already a suggestion for taser implants ... but I think I've came up with a completely different but feasable non-lethal (well, mostly) weapon: the needler wrist implant. Basically, it's a wrist-implanted collection and synthesis compartment that constructs hundreds of nano-needles, laced with condensed histamines naturally produced by one's immune system. When triggered by an implanted neural relay, it uses a silent burst of compressed air to launch a cluster of these barely visible darts into a target, which are quickly absorbed into any flesh they come in contact with, causing a powerful allergic reaction that can incapacitate even the healthiest person, or kill weaker/smaller biological targets like hunds. Ideally, this weapon would be best used at short range, but is at least partially effective at mid range as well.

jwc - great first post, and welcome to the forum! Great idea for a new type of cyber weapon, I've added it to our list!

Thanks fallen, glad you think so! I got the idea because my own histamines incapacitate me pretty often, so while I was playing earlier I thought "Hey, this would make a great non-lethal weapon!"

jwc - its also a great weapon that would have very little or no effect on armored targets.

Maybe make it relatively cheap so you can use it while you're still in gangland?

Yeah, that would be the biggest drawback, no way it could cut through hardened armor... Unless a higher version uses pistol rounds to project them at a higher velocity, but that would also increase their lethality too.

I was thinking the inital model should be cheap, perhaps about the cost of a light taser?
