Introduction
The firearms rules of Arms of Legend describe black powder weapons in
detail: costs, weights, ranges, damage and rates of fire. However black powder
weapons are not the only kinds of projectile weapons available – some
settings may allow the development of firearms based on the carbide reaction.
The Carbide Reaction
Every carbide weapon relies on the same reaction: water reacts with calcium
carbide to create acetylene, a volatile and explosive gas. A carbide weapon
uses calcium carbide in a reaction chamber. Water from a small reservoir is
sprayed into the reaction chamber, onto the calcium carbide. Acetylene is
produced under pressure.
When the hammer is cocked, the acetylene is fed into the ignition chamber.
The end of the ignition chamber is open; the base of the round in the chamber
forms the seal. Pulling the trigger releases the hammer, which contains a flint
that sparks against steel. This spark ignites the acetylene in the ignition
chamber, causing it bust and propel the round out of the barrel.
