Sticky Weapon
So called Sticky weapons are a class of non-lethal weapons designed to immobilize or slow opponents by encasing them in a sticky mass of quick setting epoxy. First experiments with the technology begin around TL-8,
Sticky Gun[edit]
The Sticky Gun is a short ranged weapon (maximum 15m) firing a continuous stream of fast-setting epoxy. This hits the victim and adheres, usually binding one or more body part together, immobilizing them with no actual damage. The weapon fires from integral or backpack mounted clips, each containing two chemicals which are mixed the instant of firing. The epoxy can be neutralized and softened by application of a special solvent spray, but the process usually takes at least a minute, and still leaves a sticky mess.
There have been lethal uses for this weapon, if the epoxy is sprayed across the face of victims will cut off visibility and breathing.
Sticky guns have a number of other uses. A single hit will fill holes, clog gun ports, blind cameras, jam locks, cover access plates, anchor ropes or do anything else you could do with a handful of instant-set epoxy. It is also capable of creating a web across a doorway to delay passage, generate a "rope" up to 15 meters long to climb up or across an obstacle or completely encase a small object in a protective armored coating.
Sticky Grenade[edit]
A one-shot epoxy dispenser designed to cover an area with strands of sticky strands. The epoxy is mixed when the priming lever is released and a chemical gas generator forces the mixture through numerous nozzles. The spray covers about a 5m by 5m area.
