Laser Boles:

The Laser Boles are the weapon of the Borellian Nomen, and no one else uses them, for many a good reason. They come in two sections and are activated by breaking the two sections slightly. The boles start to hum as the energy builds up, and they are thrown at their target. When thrown, the boles split properly into their two halves, remaining attached by a visible laser beam between them. When they hit something, the beam causes an attack, and in addition, there is a small amount of concussion damage (2d damage) in the immediate area. Once spent, the boles can be recovered and recharged for further use.

What makes them dangerous, is that once activated, the power builds up in the boles and if the energy has not been spent, they will explode after 50 microns. The only way for this build up to end is to explode the boles, there is no off switch. If the boles explode while still being carried, the holder will only receive half damage as the laser beam will not connect. This teaches the Nomen to use their weapons only when they are ready.

Numo:

The Numo is an easily obtainable low powered air rifle type weapon designed for short range game hunting rather than as for use as an actual weapon. Outdated and rarely seen in the Colonies themselves, it is sometimes still found in low-tech agricultural settlements. It is a single shot weapon, having to be broken open to replace the pellet after firing, although variations abound, usually being home built models.
