Notes: At the request of Law Enforcement agencies worldwide, Defiance Industries has manufactured a powerful Stun Baton designed for use against large assailants. High-energy lithium capacitors deliver more than enough of an electric charge (100,000 volts) for your security needs. With a successful hit anywhere on the target, that character immediately losses three Initiative levels and must roll versus 1/2 his Constitution to stay conscious. Failure means the target loses consciousness for eight phases (40 seconds).

Notes: A bola is a set of three or four weighted balls connected by leather cords or metal chains. The balls are whirled over the head and thrown at a target to entangle it. When the bola hits, a hit location is determined. If an arm or the legs are determined to be hit, the target takes damage to the location and in addition, the target is entangled as if a grapple attempt is made using the damage of the bola and the Strength of the thrower. If a chest or abdomen is hit, the bola is 50% likely to entangle an arm and 50% likely to cause damage to the chest or abdomen and then fall off. If a head is chosen, the bola damage is taken until the bola is loosened (takes one phase and a roll vs. STR). Otherwise, the victim is entangled until a roll vs. STR is made.

The barbed bola is a bola with barbed balls to cause greater damage. It is otherwise like a standard bola., and is used in the same manner.

Notes: This is a curved throwing stick that returns to its thrower on a miss. To catch a returning boomerang, the thrower must make an Average: Dexterity roll. Failure means the boomerang lands 1D6-2 meters away from the thrower in a random direction. Note that this is a boomerang designed as a weapon; toy and souvenir boomerangs are not useful as weapons. The boomerang is shaped as an airfoil, and may be thrown twice the distance of a normal thrown weapon.

Notes: This is a generic category of smaller-than-normal sized knives, such as pig-stickers and Buck knives.

Notes: These weapons merely add one point of damage to unarmed combat damage, and are used with Unarmed Martial Arts skill on the Melee Weapons Table.

Notes: These are sharp-pointed, four-prong spikes scattered to impede passage through an area, and designed to land so that one prong is always pointed upwards. Treat the chance of stepping on a caltrop as the chance of stepping on a jelly bearing. If a caltrop is stepped on, the target takes 2D6 damage to a leg location (determine which leg by rolling a die, counting an odd number as the left leg and an even number as a right leg). The caltrops cause 0.1 point suspension damage for each caltrop to wheeled vehicles if run over.

Notes: Any number of small, barbed throwing weapons. These are not the same as darts used in a game of darts; such a dart would cause at the most about 1D6-4.

Notes: A hand-held unit designed to give a sudden, massive electric shock that temporarily stuns the voluntary muscle system. A target hit by a stun gun or cattle prod immediately loses two Initiative levels and must save vs. Constitution or is rendered unconscious for 30 seconds (6 phases).

Notes: Includes weapons formerly used for fencing, sharpened and pressed into use.

Notes: Includes any number of wire, leather, or string devices for strangling an opponent. This weapon requires a successful grapple, and inflicts UMA damage as a modifier. Wt 0.1kg; Price $3 (V/V)

Notes: Jelly-bean-sized capsules filled with a low-viscosity fluorocarbon lubricant. The capsules work best on smooth surfaces and should be applied at 20 per square meter for maximum efficiency. Anyone stepping on a capsule must make a Difficult: Agility test or fall down. A character must roll 1D20 for 3+ to avoid stepping on a capsule, repeating the roll each five-second combat phase spent in an area scattered with them.

Notes: A weapon derived from the agricultural flail of medieval Japan, consisting of two sticks connected by a rope or chain.

Notes: This is a long-handled instrument with a sharp pick on one side of the tool end and a thin-bladed chopping head on the other, normally used to dig holes or pry open crates. It is normally found in a set of excavating tools.

Notes: This knife is made out of an extremely hard, bonded plastic. It is primarily a thrusting weapon and can be easily shattered by striking a very hard substance with the knife. Its advantage is that it can't be detected by metal detectors or most X-ray machines. It uses the knife profile for combat, and costs and weighs the same.

Notes: The weapon made famous by Robin Hood and his men. This is a simple wooden pole, sometimes with weighted ends. A person proficient in its use may use a rifle as a quarterstaff, but such attempts are at an additional -2 on skill rolls.

Notes: This includes fencing weapons and cavalry sabers, sharpened and pressed into use.

Notes: This is a glove which has had 170 grams of lead shot sewn into the knuckles. This adds 3 to the user's Damage rating for UMA.

The user of this weapon can avoid blows from UMA and AMA weapons at an additional +1. This weapon is in common use in police departments around the world.

Notes: The vesicant pen is an ordinary felt-tip marker pen that has been filled with a blister agent. The user contaminates discrete areas by simply drawing on them. The blister agent remains active for up to two days. Injury is as per the blister agent contamination rules in Twilight: 2000. This device is only available to government personnel.
