The first one, with monowire between two drones, would work.

The second one, with monowire spinning around a central drone, might not. The physics would be iffy for smaller drones, because you'd need to weight the ends of the monowires. This would mess up the flight stability.

I currently have a setup like that, in the SR game i'm currently playing. Figure its appropriate, I should share.

I'm using a pair of Dobermans, set up with some Defiance EX Shockers. These, in turn, have gecko tips(yes, the darts too) and additional clips. The Secondary Clip's taserdarts carry monowire attachments, instead of the regular taserstring.

The amoung of 8P ap-4 shenanigans you can get up to with a pair of drones who are able to string sticky-monowire-garrotes between each other on a moment's notice is amazing.

Minding that weapons can be destroyed with a martial maneuver from Arsenal, which states that the standard barrier destruction rules apply, you'd expect the knife to have the standard Armor and Structure stat set.



They would have durability and structure, yes...
