Special Features:

Description: The FP7 is a light weight alternative to other fletchette pistols on the market. It has a slightly shorter range, and less stopping power than alternatives that are available.
At very short range the fletchette is capable of piercing medium armour. However, at the typical range of 15-40m the cone of fire will only pierce light armor. The cloud of sharps will often find weak points in armor. They're well know for killing well armoured targets by slicing through the neck and catching arteries.

They're reasonably popular with criminals, as it's particularly difficult to miss as short range and causes extreme and visible damage to unarmoured targets.

At the extreme end of the weapon's range, fletchette can reach 100m, but the cone at that range means a target might get nicked by a single piece if unlucky.

What is the max range on this?

 

[Raziel]

I'm going to say you could probably get fletchette out to 100m, but the cone at that range means you might get nicked by a single piece if unlucky.

Does that seem reasonable [member="Aaralyn Rekali"] relative to the effective range?

Add to description.
