J'ai bien imaginé des armes plus originales listées ci-dessous, mais elles sont beaucoup plus délicates à employer et leur impact visuel est forcement limité puisqu'elles sont destinées à être dissimulées.
- various home-made weapons (retractable daggers, modified BB gun firing untraceable darts*, modified SOE silent pistol Welrod MkII, compact bungee crossbow, experimental particle beam rifle**,...) hooked on his arms and hidden by the coat's sleeves.
* : made in a gallium-antimony alloy with a fusion temperature of 30°C, these darts melt into the target's body while releasing deadly poisons like hydro-cyanic acid, pure nicotine or concentrated insulin. The latter is undetectable after death because it's already metabolised.
** : this weapon accelerates electrons-protons beams near the speed of light via the plasma waves method. The energy needed to maintain the plasma is produced by a 500W diode-pumped disk laser placed in a backpack and transferred by optic fiber to the compact accelerator-collimator hooked on the arm.
À noter cependant que ces différentes armes sont normalement utilisées uniquement pour mon deuxième personnage, Herr Doktor Theo von Marder le rat albinos (malgré son nom) biclassé savant fou / tueur à gages.
