====Volg "Spitfire" Bolt Pistol==== [[image:SpitfireBoltPistolPlaceholder.png|250px|thumb|right|Spitfire Bolt Pistol (''Placeholder'')]] Trust us, even if it doesn't look like one, it is a Bolter, somewhat. Little more than a crudely modified Lucifer pattern launcher – which is a handgun-like device common on frontier worlds for firing signal flares, tow lines and the like – the Spitfire was an innovation that, according to popular myth, was devised by an outcast Magnavar tech-adept named Verey. The story has it that while this Tech-Priestess was exiled in Volg, she made the first Spitfires to help combat a swarming of giant Maw-flukes. The weapon hit a marketing jackpot by being both effective and popular, and the more talented of Volg’s arms dealers have been turning them out ever since. The Spitfire’s fame and construction has spread and some are even sold at inflated prices as real "Bolt Pistols" to those too provincial or naive to know better. Now, how is this still technically and barely a Bolter? Well, Spitfires use modified rocket-propelled distress flares fitted with a crude impact detonators in a pale imitation of a bolt shell, but are nevertheless still quite deadly. So instead of a timed explosion to maximize internal damage as with regular bolts, the rockets the Spitfire use explode upon impact. Spitfire rounds will also ignite flammable materials (''since they are flares'') and has the potential to set things on fire in addition to any other effect. Now here's the downside: Spitfire shells are far from stable. How far from stable? If this thing jams, it explodes. Likewise if Spitfire ammunition is hit by an explosion or fire, it may detonate just as well. Finally, unlike a usual flare gun, the Spitfire can hold more than one casing. Three to be exact. <center> {|class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="background: white;" |+ class="nowrap" style="white-space: nowrap"|'''Profile''' |- | {|align=center border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=10 |- | {|class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable" style="background: white;" |+style="white-space: nowrap;" | Stats |- | {|class="wikitable" style="border: 1px solid black; background: white; text-align:center; display:inline-table;" |- |'''Class''' |'''Range''' |'''RoF''' |'''Dmg''' |'''Pen''' |'''Clip''' |'''Rld''' |'''Special''' |'''Wt''' |'''Availability''' |- | Pistol | 20 m | S/–/– | 1d10 + 3X | 0 | 3 | Full | Unreliable | 3 kg | Scarce |} |} |} |} </center>
