WASP Injector Knife

Would anyone care to hazard a guess as to the damage (in TW 2013 terms) for something that can explode someone's torso at the push of a button?

You watched Law & Order last night didn't you?

Yes, but one of the CSI shows also featured the weapon a few months ago, and I think they gave a more realistic (less gruesome) portrayal, focusing more on the flash-freezing of internal organs than on explosive effects.

That is so inpractical!

One shot, has to be reloaded after each use and if you know what you are doing a knife strike shoulde be fatal anyway.

That being said, it does have a macabre cool factor all of it's own.

You may be missing the point (sorry about the pun). Bringing a knife to a gun fight is a desperate act. If you're unlucky enough to get in such a crappy position, having an equalizer might keep you alive, especially as most regular soldiers are not expert at melee. Not everyone's a Marine or specforce operator that "knows what they're doing" with a blade.

Valid point, it just seems so much hassle just for a one-shot deal. But like I said, very cool nonetheless.
