disc gun

• A chamber which will hold about 23 discs.
• Discs are loaded from one side, one at a time.
• Range between 5 and 10 meters.
• Discs tend to arc in one direction (usually to the right), allowing indirect fire.
• Disc guns do not benefit from push firing.
• Variant guns may have clips to allow rapid refilling.

Disc guns are frequently used in Sik and Assassins' Guild games. The guns use semiautomatic fire, allowing people to fire a hail of discs at an opponent or group. Disc guns have a few drawbacks in games:

• Discs can be hard to see in low light conditions.
• Discs can be hard to feel for the target.
• It is hard to count how many discs hit someone when a hail of discs is sent their way.

The discs used as ammo are just about the size of a penny.

When we were kids, the springs in the disc guns were much stronger than they are today. Strong enough, say, to launch a penny. Strong enough to leave a welt at 20 feet (~6 meters). Ouch!
