ME3 Hand Welder

Bonus: 0 Damage: 3 Range: Engaged Weight: 1 Cost: $300 Comments: Armor piercing, Power Supply 5.
The ME3 Hand Welder, known colloquially as a Cutting Torch, was a compact, handheld welding blowtorch primarily used by the United States Colonial Marine Corps for cutting and welding metal whilst in the field. It has since proliferated in the civilian sector for its ease of use.
This utilitarian device can be used as a weapon in a pinch. The Rexim EVA pistol started life as a laser cutting torch. You want to stay alive? You need to improvise. You need to make a Power Supply roll after every use. Its battery has a Power Supply level of 5 when fully charged.
When used as a tool, the cutting torch gives a +2 modification to HEAVY MACHINERY in relevant situations. The cutting torch consumes a lot of electricity, and you need to make a Power Supply roll after every use (see page 36). Its battery has a Power Supply level of 5 when fully charged.

Spacesub ASSO-400 Harpoon Grappling Gun

Bonus: 0 Damage: 1 Range: Medium Weight: 1 Cost: $300 Comments: Armor Doubled, Single Shot.
Designed for aiding in emergency manual docking maneuvers, the ASSO-400 fires a grappling-hook-tipped harpoon that carries a tether. The ASSO-400 is used to close the distance between free-floating objects and personnel in space.
On a hit with this weapon, the grappling hook attaches to the target. If the target is heavier than you, you can use the tether to rappel quickly toward the target (slow action, moves you from MEDIUM range to ENGAGED). If you are heavier, you can instead pull the target toward you (requires a STRENGTH vs. STRENGTH opposed roll if the target resists).
