Description: With the development of Agent Cardinam completed, it was time to put it to use in the wars against the Sith and their allies with their beasts and organic technology.

The FAV-1 projects a stream of diluted Cardinam ignited on emission, immolating organic and non-organic victims alike with this sticky, flammable gel from up to thirty meters away. While perhaps not the most versatile weapon, it is frighteningly effective when the user is able to get in range.

Reloading is quick and simple. A few revolutions of the screw-in Cardinam canister are all it takes for ammunition refills on the fly. It must be noted, however, that a direct hit on a filled canister can result in serious injury and probable death to the user.

Alright, quick question. The fuel source you linked is a gel based propellant, correct?

Correct. Just like napalm.

Alright. How does this not clog? Also, if the fuel source is combustible when exposed to air, how does this weapon hold up to damage and field conditions?

The weapon itself holds up fine. Dallorian Alloy is resistant to the heat. I suppose a direct hit on a filled canister would probably not end well for the gunner, though.

Mkay. I missed the word "diluted" in the description. My bad.

Go ahead and add what happens if the canister is breached to the description and we'll move right along.

Mkay. Approved pending secondary. Abuse and suffer the wrath of Popo on chili night.

(FYI, post chili night burns hotter than thermite.)
