Proximity Thorn Thrower

This is an experiment for a thought of sorts. “Hurt them, even if you’re not nearby.” The PTT places charged thorn packages when fired, which explode into shrapnel when someone comes near them.

The design should be pretty familiar. It makes use of the tried and true double-piston tech to toss out a bunch of thorn packages. It’s surprisingly economic for what it does. The thorns break into smaller splitters when they explode. (Caused by vibration when stepping near them.)

They only last for 5 minutes or so, after which they shatter on their own, but that should still be plenty to lay some traps.

As a bonus, it uses Thorn Magazines, which are renewable.
