DESCRIPTION
Essentially, a standard mini frag grenade hidden within a faux rose of blue color. If someone were to inspect the rose by holding it then the weapon would feel unnaturally heavy. Its intention is to be something that could pass a visual inspection at a light checkpoint and still provide an offensive and shocking option. At the very least, the user could martyr themselves as a last resort.
Weapons like these are clearly more of a testament to pomp and form. Aesthetics are at the forefront here. Some operators would claim lethal intent and classical beauty should go hand in hand, since the sublime goes hand in hand with the human spirit.
