Dragon's Breath

Basic Information

Dragon's Breath is a type of shotgun ammunition that produces a long burst of flame, similar to a flamethrower. Sparks and fire shoot out to a range of about 5 meters.

The rounds have several drawbacks. They're expensive, and illegal in many areas. They tend to jam up automatic or semi-automatic shotguns, and may even be dangerous to the shooter if used in such a weapon. Besides the risk of jamming, the thermite used in the cartridges is quite capable of doing significant damage to the bore of the weapon. On top of all this, there's the normal dangers that come from any incendiary weapon.

Game and Story Use

• It's pretty useless in normal combat situations, but if you face a foe that's vulnerable to flame it might be worth a shot…
• If one of your players insists he has to have one, let him use it as an intimidation weapon, but make sure he also has to deal with the drawbacks, and make sure his enemies adjust their tactics.
