Dragons Breath in Self Defence
As usual, people posting here have little to contribute beyond macho talk, rhetoric and ridicule. Dragons breath rounds operate similarly to white phosphorous grenades, widely used in warfare. Said rounds fire out a cloud of magnesium pellets or shards burning at 1 600 C. Safe to say, this could be a useful weapon when fired out of a Taurus Judge or S & W Governor at a person waving a knife at short range. Obviously, don’t load for home defence unless the shooter wants to burn down the house, not good in situations where the target is flanked or standing in front of persons that a shooter does not have the right or cause to do harm to, but if said person is standing with accomplices in a concrete alleyway? I would think this weapon would further offer shock and awe, a strategy widely used by armed forces. After seeing a huge bright cloud of spark and flame wrapping around an accomplice who starts screaming and running about, id guess the rest of the gang would seek other opportunities at a rapid pace. Further, as the cloud projected has the possibility of engaging multiple hostiles, we get what we all thought shotguns do, a big blast that can take out a number of criminals. Further, consider the possibility that this may be an effective less-lethal weapon. A person drilled to a short depth with multiple metal fragments burning at high temperature is going to be having a really bad day, and I assume thoughts of Robbery, Rape and Murder would be furthest away at this point, however, said person may walk away from the altercation, albeit somewhat scarred and traumatized. This provides a better moral stance than blowing the liver and spine out the back with 00 buckshot.
