It does not say "electrocution damage causes you to drop stuff." The only way around that would be for the electrocuting source to be essentially a stun exotic like the Stun Baton, but even then you would have to reduce the electrocuted character to 1 HP to stun them. 180 says "if you don't move away from the source of your electrocution," which implies that disengaging from an electrocuting object is voluntary. I personally can't imagine a "thick" cover that is plausibly electrified without it being obviously so. It can't be a fence (not cover) or anything that counts as "thin," which includes a lot of "thin" metal objects with greater cover HP than "thick" substances.


cyberware is always cooler than gear, chombatta.īut to actually answer the question in a less jokey way: "cool" is subjective, and it's one more piece of gear you have to conceal in certain situations.
#GAPPLIN GUN UPGRADE#
what were you using that cyberarm option slot on anyways? just get your friendly tech to upgrade your arm to have another option slot if you really needed it. get some realskin covering over that and no one even knows you have the cyberarm, nevermind the grapple gun, until you actually need it. The grappling hook is attached to the rest of the device by a spool of paracord and is fired pneumatically with 800 PSI of pressure from the same kind of small CO2 cartridges that you would use for airsoft guns.The real cool as hell is to get the grapple hand in your cyberarm. That is very useful since the battery pack is fairly small, with just two LiPo batteries providing a total capacity of 1800mAh setup at 12s. The ESC even supports regen, so the battery can be partially recharged during descent. The motor is controlled by a huge 200A ESC through an Arduino Nano on a custom PCB. It is geared down 9:1 to increase the torque. To handle that, Jameson’s grappling gun uses a beefy 14-pole brushless outrunner motor that is intended for driving electric skateboards.
#GAPPLIN GUN ZIP#
He can either hang from the built-in handle or attach the device to a conventional climbing harness to zip upward in comfort.Īs you would imagine, it takes quite a lot of torque to lift a full-grown man up. Once it is properly anchored, Jameson can use a thumb-operated throttle to winch himself up.

All he has to do is point and shoot, which causes the grappling hook to fly up several yards. The grappling gun attaches to Jameson’s forearm and it is surprisingly compact. There are commercial motorized ascenders on the market, but those are intended for recreational or commercial climbing and don’t fire grappling hooks in the way you picture when you hear the term “grappling gun.” This unfortunate reality forced Jameson to build his own and the results are very impressive. Unless you have your own personal Q or access to wherever Navy SEALs do their shopping, you probably can’t just go purchase a grappling gun like this.
