Crater Appeal is a licensed Armed Forces service firm dedicated to reviewing, evaluating and recommending weapons and ordinance for use against the Commie Mutant Traitor armies. Our field offices have full-color holographic reproductions of the reviewed items, but due to bandwidth constraints, we can only present color images on our netsite. So visit one of our field offices today!
Flame Launcher
GonnerTech (R&D), MMM Sector
We're usually excited when GonnerTech introduces a new weapon, but this one left us cold. (Ha!) The Flame Launcher is supposed to fire a stream of napalm at high pressure (50 bar) that can reach up to 10 stories. On paper, this sounds great as anyone who ever used a flame thrower before knows that if you point and fire up, you'd better run away quick. However, the laucher itself caught on fire 4 out of 5 tests. Perhaps we just expect more from GonnerTech, but right now this is only good for teaching fire safety.
Hollow-point bombs
from Close Enough Is Dead On (Armed Forces), GGF Sector
What happens if you take a hollow-point bullet and make it 50 times as big? You get one fantastic bomb, that's what! Close Enough Is Dead On produces these suckers for penetrating bunkers, solid steel flooring and underground lairs and is especially useful Outdoors. The hollow-point channels the explosive force into the hard surface, cracking almost anything it hits. At 15,300 credits a piece, these are not toys. Then again, anyone who thinks a 900kg bomb is a toy needs more medicine!
EMP Grenade Mark 3
from Throw-n-Blow(Armed Forces), SSC Sector
We want to recommend this grenade. We really do! It does exactly what it's supposed to ... and that's the problem. This grenade emits a blast of electromagnetic radiation in a 50m radius strong enough to disable all bots and electronic devices. That's right! It's a grenade that doesn't blow stuff up! Might as well start throwing cupcakes at the Commies! Even if you're going up against an army of rogue bots, they could easily be shielded against EMP, so pass on this and go for something that explodes.
