Stormtech Weapons

Thunderslinger

A revolver featuring six batteries loaded into the cartridge with a large coil fit into the galvanized barrel. The gun itself can be increased from intensity one to three, where intensity one will hold three elecrical jolts of fire within each battery. This mode is meant for close ranges though, as the bolts don't reach all that far, nor are these shots deadly against creatures not weak to lightning, or coated in leading liquids. The second intensity fires the voltage within each battery, holding six shots that travel through organic or metalic foes like a thunderbolt for often lethal damage. The third fires the entire load of the gun, making it often dangerous for the wielder to use as well, but serves as a last option for sticky situations.  

Rabensturm Broomhandle

This broomhandle pistol uses smaller ammunitions to fire glass tipped rounds filled with alchemical oil into foes. With a soft electric spool linked to a miniscule pneumatic trigger within, connecting rounds trigger a tiny reaction which is enough to light the oil ablaze. The shorter barrel of this broomhandle gun but increased nine bullet capacity magazine is not that effective against armoured foes and sometimes even harder cloth armour is enough to protect from piercing, yet it works wonders against organic tissue due to how swiftly the oils burn. Especially effective is the gun in combination with a melee weapon to back it up, as many enemies can be set alight in a row before culling them out with the melee option.  

Tezlagun

A lever action rifle featuring a glass encased lamp which either glows green or red, depending on wether the battery is full or empty. A large battery connected to a string of more energy containers link up towards a larger coil, which is centered by four smaller amplifiers on each side of a cross to the barrel. When fired, a long stream of tezla emerges from the coils to crackle and seek the water within organic creatures. Thus linking into, stunning and cooking any foe in it's radius alive. With the lever action trigger, a battery can be ejected and reloaded while the coil is still full of energy, making it possible to keep firing while reloading.  

Rabensturm Flamethrower

A large container strapped on the back or around a shoulder is filled with alchemical oil. When fired, the flamethrower spits out the oil through a tube which leads to a form of hose sporting a handle and a battery driven lighter which zaps the spewing out oil with a heat just enough to slightly light it. Causing the fire to nearly turn into magma as it can travel several meters before hitting a target, while still being half alight for the first few seconds of impact.  

Thunderbolter

A repeating crossbow which slingshots bolts through a magazine at high velocity. The piercing bolts all hold a miniscule battery within them that slowly ejects stunning voltage through it's foes. Utilizing positive and negative attraction of protons and electrons, shooting several targets in close proximity with the fourteen bolt magazine also causes the targets to link together, causing smaller targets to be physically repelled towards one another. With the click of a button on the crossbow's side, the batteries can then be force discharged to trigger an explosion from the combined energy of the targets.  

Cutterblade

This combination of a dagger and sword features a heavy look of scimitar blended with kukri. Though it's a bit clunky and not as sharp as ordinary weapons, a large battery within the wrapped handle leads to a sawblade contraption within the wide middle of the blade. Though this weapon isn't that effective against armoured foes and cloth risks breaking the mechanisms, creatures of wood and flesh can more effectively be sliced into by first stabbing them as deep as it goes, then activating the sawblade to cut all the way through, or rip the weapon out on the sides. It's especially good against tendrils and tentacles.  

Mjolnîr

A scarnic inspired warhammer, combined with a battery backpack. Tubes reaching into the handle of the hammer allows each slam of the weapon to unleash a blast of electricity which can jump into further targets in a cone infront of the assailed foe. With a click of the button, a drill can also be ejected like a spear. A weapon which is especially effective to prod and take down larger armoured enemies.  

Stormgloves

A pair of blunt rubber gloves with hard metal receptors on the knuckles. Successfull punches with these weapons build up kinetic force which travel into a coiled piece of metal around the back and spine, by utilizing protected wires. Once one or more of the four coils attached to the metal spineguard. The knuckles on the right glove lights up green colours for each coil filled with energy and if slammed together with the left knuckles, can be activated into tezlacharged mode. During these few minutes of supercharging, the individual possessing the gloves becomes inhumanly fast, strong, agile and every punch delivers a devestating groundquaking blows that are hard enough to punch through a full plate and out the back with speed faster than the eye can glimpse.

Utility tools

Heartstarter

A little electronic device which is attached just above the heart. With an inbuilt monitor of the pulses beating against a plate of the trinket, it can feel wether it's holder still has a beating heart. If the heart of the individual stops, four small knives spring out, piercing the skin of the individual and unleashing an automated heartbeat meant to rescusicate the agent and give them a chanse to escape and live to fight another day.  

Pulsemine

A subtle mine that when triggered unleashes a pair of coils to surround it's target in a non-lethal amount of tezla to keep them locked down for long enough that an agent can disarm and capture the catch, before their heart internally combusts.  

Electrofix

A cross looking electronic device with a handle and three coils. Once the button in the middle is clicked, the two sidecoils rise up and build an intense potency combined with the middle coil which unleashes a lightningbolt and blinding light forwards like a whiplash. It's usually utilized as tool to stun larger foes or allow an agent some time to attain better ground in a fight.

Really nice article! I like how you described each of the weapons and utility tools! Made it easy to imagine them in one's mind. They also sound really nifty! I particularly like the Tezlagun, and how the charges seek out the water within organic creatures.
