NECROMUNDA
WEB PISTOL
The web pistol, or glue gun as it is cheerfully called,
is not a common weapon. It is used by the
Necromundan Houses’ own security forces as a
means of suppressing crowds or taking captives
without harming them.
The weapon fires a tangle of gluey threads which
envelop and ensnare their target, trapping and
rendering them immobile. The sticky mass quickly
shrinks and hardens holding the target fast and
preventing him from making the slightest move. A
victim who struggles too hard may be strangled or
even crushed by the constricting mesh.
The pistol is bulky and has a cone-shaped nozzle and
a distinctive canister containing the web chemical
itself. Both weapon and its chemical ammunition are
hard to get hold of and the weapon is not particularly
popular amongst the Underhive fighters.

Special Rules
Webbed Targets. Once a web pistol has hit its target
the victim is automatically enmeshed – there is no
roll for wounds or injuries and no saving roll is
allowed for armour. A webbed target may do nothing
other that attempt to struggle free at the start of its
turn. If the fighter wishes to make an attempt to
struggle free roll a D6 and add the model’s Strength.
If the total is 9 or more the victim frees himself from
the web and may continue normally. If the total is less
than 9 then the victim suffers 1 wound immediately,
though an armour save may be attempted if the
victim has armour.
Freeing Webs. All web pistols incorporate a solvent
spray for removing the web material. Any model that
has a web pistol may automatically free a webbed
fighter at the start of the turn if he is within 1".
However, a model can never free itself from a web
using a web pistol, as the strands are far too tight to
allow the fighter to reach his solvent spray.

HAND FLAMER
Amongst the Underhive gangs this weapon is also
known as the flame pistol or burner. It fires a short
burst of flaming chemical, an unstable sticky material
that ignites upon contact with air. This volatile fuel is
held within a small pressurised container that fits
into the weapon. A single container contains very
little fuel, so flamers often run out of power after a
few shots. The unstable and temperamental nature of
the fuel also means that some containers prove
useless whilst others explode unexpectedly as they
are loaded.
The flamer is a very dangerous weapon that spreads
a sheet of flame over a short distance. At this range it
is almost impossible to miss and several victims can
be claimed with a single shot.

Special Rules
The hand flamer works in exactly the same way as a
standard flamer, including the rules for templates.
The exception being that the hand flamer is a one
shot weapon. Once it has been fired it cannot be used
in any other way for the rest of the game. Note;
unlike other pistols the hand flamer cannot be used
in hand-to-hand combat.
