Intent: To Create Bio Grenades to use while hunting Targets
Development Thread: None
Manufacturer: Cyrus Falcor
Model: Bye-Bye Gas Grenade
Affiliation: Cyrus Falcor
Modularity: None
Production: Limited
Material: Transparasteel and Steel, Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Hypochlorite
Classification: Grenade

Special Features: N/A
Description: A deadly concoction of Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrochloric Acid are house in separate spacial containers within the Transparasteel casing of this grenade. When the charge inside is primed, it detonates upon contact, showering the area with the aforementioned chemical cocktail, which react to create deadly Chlorine Gas. A yellow gas, that has the effects of burning the flesh and eyes, slowly eating away at them, as well as liquefying the lungs when inhaled. The primer can be cooked for 3 seconds, after which it will detonate the charge inside, and blow the casing, which would cause the former description of symptoms. If fully exposed for 5 minutes or longer, the effects may be almost irreversible.

If treated within 10 Minutes (Given an exposure time of less than 3 minutes), the affects can be treated with heavy scrubbing of the skin with soap and charcoal and washing of the eyes. The lungs and throat, however must be cleaned out with neutralizing agents, but scarring most likely will occur. This will result in possible, permanent breathing damage and difficulty eating. If left untreated, a victim would/could be rendered permanently blind. The first signs of the grenades activation is a scent of Pineapple and Pepper, and if inhaled, would taste metallic.

A simple bio-weapon that will be used to take down targets and civilians who get trapped in it's deadly cloud. With Chlorine Gas being heavy enough to not just float away, but collect near the ground like a yellow cloud, it won't be blown away without a greater amount of air flow, like from vehicle engines or those crummy FU's and their cruddy Magik. Even so, the chemical would still be present in the air and could still potentially harm those nearby, but with minor affects of skin, eye and throat irritation, not the deadly burning and liquefying of a full dose. Much like tear gas, but the effects would only last minutes.

Best case scenario, minimum exposure of 3 minutes or less, treatable with minimum damage
Worst case scenario, maximum exposure for over 5 minutes, results in permanent damage
Even worse case scenario, untreated, 5 or more minutes, death occurs by way of liquefaction of the lungs and esophagus

Just a few things.

• What is the effective blast radius of these grenades?

With Chlorine Gas being heavier than air

• If this is heavier than air, in a type I atmosphere, the contents of this grenade gas, if heavier than breathable air, will drift to the ground within mere seconds, and likely disperse just as quickly. I would request that this be edited to denote this.

liquifying the lungs when inhaled

• How much exposure would be required for this to occur? A single breath?

Production: Minor

• I am going to ask that if you do not personally own a company, to drop the production to limited, as minor production would indicate to me a factory of some sort was manufacturing these, rather than just one person.

As the submission currently stands, I can't approve of a grenade like this that has such incredible lethality without a dev thread of 10-15 posts, and/or edits to explain in greater detail the various stages of exposure to clearly outline what would be expected, and some reduction in lethality, as breathing in a single breath of air by a lingering cloud of lung liquifying toxic gas to instantly kill someone is guaranteed to elicit the report button on every thread these are used in.

Edited, Added further information, Thanks to the Interwebs, and gave time periods and exposure info. and reduced production value. [member="Seraphina Shel'tah"]

This feels a lot more balanced now.

Approved. Pending secondary.

With the nerfs this should be fine, however remember that the effectiveness so any weapon, especially things like this, are based on what the victims writer wants.

Approved.
