The flechette launchers are weapons that are a tube that shoots canisters and small missiles that are designed to exploded close to their target, and releasing hundreds of razor-sharp flechettes at high velocity. The Malaxan Firepower FWG-5 flechette pistol is a typical hand held flechette launcher with a optimum range of 50 meters and a maximum range of 100 meters, and has the stopping power of a heavy blaster pistol. The FGW-5 is equipped with a laser tracking system, that allows the launcher to control the projectile while in flight. When the cartridge is within 3 meters of the target, it explodes and releases dozens of tiny flechette darts that are powerful enough to puncture blast vests, ceramic armor, and even plasteel armor that is worn by stormtroopers. The explosion spreds the darts over a 2 meter area so even a miss can injure the target, and the ammunition clip holds 8 flechette cartridges. Golan Arms FC1 is a traditional shoulder-braced flechette weapon that is widely used by the Corporate Sector Authority security police. The FC1 has a optimum range of 100 meters and a maximum range of 250 meters, and it has the capibity to fire both antipersonal and antivehicle canisters. The scope on the launcher can program the detonation range of up to ten meters from the target for maximum damage. The FC1 hold four canister tubes each with a single canister, and has a reserve chamber for two additional canisters. The standard antipersonal canister is a small globe that releases hundreds of flechettes over a ten-meter-diameter, which means a well placed shot can eliminate an entire squad of troopers. Most antivehicle rounds consist of eleven-centimeter-long missiles, and can be exploded five meters from the target. The cloud of antivehicle rounds can rip through ten centimeters of durasteel armor plating. | |
