Arc Pistol
The Arc Pistol is a specialised, one-handed sidearm built around BioTopia Projects’ proprietary Arc combat-fluid projection system. It operates at extremely short range, releasing a concentrated, high-pressure stream that splashes across multiple targets, surfaces, and pieces of cover rather than striking a single point. The weapon is lightweight and easy to handle, making it an effective close-quarters assault tool for disrupting groups of enemies and breaching armour, cover or terrain. In practice, its modular fluid feed can even accommodate exotic payloads — including live clone piranha — for users willing to accept the additional cost and complexity.
