Acid Throwers

The acid family of weapons had horrible range but made up for this by being reactive against most organic and inorganic materials and due to a quirk of current shield technology could bypass most energy or particle shields. The acid supply could be regenerated if given enough time and as with Spine launchers adrenals could affect these weapons in the same way.

Range: Moderate

Fire rate: Excellent (Continual stream)

Damage: Very good (on affected materials)

-Pistol

Another common pistol carried by most troops. Had a 15 second stream with 20 seconds to regenerate the supply from empty.

-Gusher

Fired out a wide area of effect spray in one shot, akin to an acid shotgun. Could fire 20 shots and needed 10 seconds to regenerate to full from empty.

-Sub machine gun

Very close in CQB weapon, had a 10 second stream with 10 seconds to regenerate supply from empty.

-Rifle

Not really chosen as a main rifle by many troopers unless the situation warranted it. 30 second stream with 10 seconds to regenerate back to full from empty.

-Spreader

Usually taken when facing swarms up close as this weapon had a wide spread with a large supply of acid. 60 second spray with 15 seconds to regenerate to full from empty.

-Spewer

The spreader on steroids this Spewer really lived up to the name. Range was somewhat increased for an acid weapon. Had a 2 minute spray with 20 seconds to regenerate to full from empty.
