Piston-activated piercing lance

Standard 30 GP

Described in: Codex v1.5

Nicknames: the ticket puncher / the nurse / the mozzy

Description

Abattoirs often use captive bolt pistols to ‘stun’ livestock before killing them. Old penetrating stunners used pointed bolts propelled at great speed to enter the animal’s cranium dealing catastrophic damage before returning to its resting position in the pistol chamber. This principle was reworked in order to provide new Knights with an easy-to-use polearm. The resulting weapon resembles a plain, long black staff with a slight widening at its tip. When striking an enemy, a 20-inch alpha element spike pierces the target for a fraction of a second before returning to the lance’s haft.
