Each<br /> gauntlet is capable of delivering several burning<br /> streams of flame to an area,<br /> burning multiple opponents<br /> caught in the<br /> blast. Characters<br /> that are caught<br /> without cover<br /> or nowhere to<br /> escape are<br /> quickly burnt<br /> alive.<br /> <br /> The blast of flame is triggered first by keying a safety<br /> release on each gauntlet with the user's thumbs. Once<br /> the safety is deactivated, another thumb trigger is used<br /> to fire a momentary blast, or to sustain the flame's<br /> activation. Both hands can produce flame, though<br /> penalties for firing two weapons and offhand use still<br /> apply. The gauntlets require both hands to be free to<br /> use, but are nimble enough that other activities are not<br /> significantly affected due to wearing them.<br /> <br /> Each gauntlet fires a burst of flame causing 4d10 fire<br /> damage to a single opponent. Like other burst<br /> weapons, an area of up to 10 meters wide can be<br /> targeted, adding 1d10 damage per target in the area,<br /> requiring only a single roll to hit all of them. The<br /> damage total is divided between the characters caught<br /> in the area. RS checks may be attempted for those<br /> with nearby cover or for those willing to go prone<br /> resulting in half damage. Inertial suits and screens<br /> defend against the flamethrower gauntlets the same<br /> way they defend against other explosions and<br /> incendiary attacks. Any character that takes more<br /> damage than half his stamina score is completely<br /> incapacitated do to burn wounds.<br /> <br /> Like other concealable weapons, some systems may<br /> have significant laws against carrying or owning these<br /> weapons outright.<br /> <br /> Reloading takes 2 turns for each gauntlet and requires<br /> refilling the liquid fuel tanks and the compressed<br /> nitrogen canister. Both the inert nitrogen and liquid fuel<br /> can be purchased throughout the frontier at common<br /> supply outlets.</div>
