What gets better is that it carries like 500 shots.


My ruling on that particular weapon... carbonated water isn't "natural water", and does approximately as much damage to a vamp as a Diet Coke.

I concur, water is water. It is still in its natural form, ie not forzen or as mist or vapor, so it should still harm them. Of course it is up to the individual GM.


I also agree, but doubt a paint-ball would be effective... tho a slew of them might, like the paint-ball mini-gun a friend of mine built... sadly it jams betimes...
Eyes without life, maggot-ridden corpses, mountains of skulls... these are a few of my favourite things.

Oh, I recognize that. I was just giving the first reason that I could think of to disallow this uber-weapon that did 4D6x10 damage for no real justifiable reason. I mean... dude... that's crazy.

Just because it's carbonated and still "moving", doesn't mean it should cause more damage. If you hit a vamp with a water balloon it continues to drip and roll down its skin, but it doesn't do additional damage. Why should this weapon, with the relatively small amount of water it shoots (compared to, say... the water cannon or any of the larger TW water weapons) be the end-all be-all of vampire fighting?

Paint-gun with balls of water instead of paint.

My game: Only if it's holy water, and then 1D6 per "pellet"

The Rules: Yes...and likely about as much as 1D4-1D6 depending on the size of the pellet.
