Agents of the elusive Sector 6 each carry one of these
specialized gadgets. They are a type of projectile weapon
that uses no explosive part, no combustion, and because
of this can be built in an inexpensive resin toy-like gun.

The weapon is tiny – only as thin as the small explosiveequipped
single bullet that fits in it. It resembles a small
child’s toy pistol, and is so thin that it can be kept in the
waistband of a pair of conventional pants in a specialized
holster that makes most people not see it – even when
patting the wearer down for weapons.

The gun itself is wound up like a clockwork device, putting
high amount of pressure on a series of cascading coils and
springs. Once properly wound up, the gun will maintain
its firing potential indefinitely. It takes 3 turns to properly
wind and reload the SmallArm.

Only one single bullet fits within the weapon. It’s a
specialized bullet with an explosive charge inside of it.
Built of high strength resin – this bullet does not appear
on scans as a type of weapon or grenade.

When the trigger is pressed, the bullet is hurled a fairly
short-range. It’s not hurled at a supersonic rate so the
firing doesn’t make any noise greater than a “click-pop.”
The bullet’s explosive shell does 4d10 points of inertia
damage but has a very small yield and therefore is not an
area-effect attack.

The plastic gun, winding tool, a single resin bullet, and a
waistband holster costs 400Cr and weighs a single
kilogram, but is often not commercially available except for
Sector 6 agents. Replacement bullets cost 25Cr each. The
weapon’s range is 5/10/20/30/40.
