General Details
Name: Sprayer
Type (Category): Equipment (Other)
Reference: TechManual (p. 249)
Description:
A fairly common item on police riot-control units, fire engines, coolant trucks and the like, the so-called sprayer is simply a high-pressure pumpand-hose system used to dispense directed bursts of internally stored fluids at a given target. Most commonly seen on IndustrialMechs or vehicles equipped with fluid reserves, the limited effective range and damage yield for most fluids makes the sprayer an ineffective combat weapon. Indeed, with a typical pumping rate of some 10 kilograms of liquids per second, and a physical accuracy of only thirty meters or so—beyond which it becomes a crap shoot—the sprayer hardly counts as a weapon at all. Nevertheless, their ability to dispense any desired fluids with ease—water, insecticides, paints or coolants—makes the sprayer a favored tool for many civil service and commercial agencies.
Game Rules:
Sprayers, while they do “fire” as weapons, may not benefit from targeting computers or fire control systems in vehicles, and so all “attacks” made using such equipment are performed as if the unit in which they are mounted has no fire control (+2 to-hit). Sprayers inflict damage to conventional infantry units only, equivalent to a battle-armor flamer with an attack range of 1 hex. The sprayer will not function if the unit’s engine is shut down or its pilot/crew is incapable of acting.
