Official Weapon Name: Altima Arms Model 72 Ion Thorns
Faction/Affiliation: N/A (Unique to Altima)
Classification: Throwing Knives
Manufacturer: N/A (Custom Built by Altima)
Dimensions-
Length: 152 mm (Each)
Weapon Weight: 0.4 kg
Power Source: Rechargeable Ion Cell
Description:
Mechanics: For all intents and purposes, the Ion Thorns are just your average, albeit rather odd looking, throwing knives. You throw them, they cut things, and if you're a good shot you kill people with them. However, as with anything crafted by the twins, they have a few tricks up their proverbial sleeves.
Each knife possesses two well camouflaged buttons on either side of the blue grip beneath the blade. If both of these are pressed at the same time, the three points on the rear end of the knife will act as the release points for a moderately sized ion burst which will cover anything the knife itself is in contact with as soon as a pressure sensor is activated in the blade's tip.
This ion burst, though relatively small as far as area of effect goes, is still significantly powerful and capable of disabling machinery such as droids, cameras, and personal cloaks with ease. When used on organics, the burst is capable of temporary incapacitation in much the same way as a stun baton.
This makes the knives not only useful as thrown weapons, but also as infiltration tools as the burst, overall, is very quiet compared to something like an ion grenade and still gets the job done without drawing any attention.
