The Ares Slivergun has always been one of the more interesting Firearms in Shadowrun. Everyone visualizes it differently and interprets it in another way. I have always thought of it as a Needle Pistol. The ammunition as a block of ceramic/composite plastics that are shaved off and hurled with great velocity. Doing Flechette Damage to all Targets.

My players took this one step further and engineered and developed a few creative variations.

Chemical Rounds - Using a Frozen Ammunition with DMSO Cocktails or Frozen Holy Water or Garlic Water.

Splinter Rounds - Wooden Flechettes for those pesky HVHMM carriers.

Tracking Rounds - A Tracking Flechette Electronic/Chemical/etc...

What do you think I should do?
