I wondered how it would be if someone could bio-engineer gun-like living weapons from living ophidians. Here are three models to choose from!
Spitatrix™ - Spitter
- Derived heavyweight elapid that spits out contact zootoxin, human-lethal in 3 to 5 seconds. Effective range up to 10 metres.
- Fired by gentle squeeze of abdomen, venom glands last 40-50 shots before recharge.
- Toggle hemipenes in or out for Face-Recognition Autostrike™ or idiot-savant fire-on-command reflex.
- Only males are weaponised, females used as breeders only.
- Primary sidearm and security weapon, usage restricted to suppressor-caste humans and Masters only.
Retroctaspis™ - Stabber
- Atractaspid-derived stabbing weapon, bites immediately upon contact with foreign flesh. Reflexes conditioned not to bite the holding hand.
- Fangs can bite even while mouth is closed.
- Originally used as medical hypodermics; weaponised variants with paralysis or military-grade venom have been retro-engineered by feral syndicates and other bioterrorists.
- Described by captured bioterrorists as a “useful snake to get another snake with.”
Dendrolock™ - Tagger
- Mamba-derived personal-defence weapon; comes in paralysing and lethal variants.
- Fired by triggering specialised back-scutes. The thin front part of the body then lashes out to bite whoever that’s within reach.
- Maximum range 1 metre, available to humans after background checks and licensing.
