→Volg "Spitfire" Bolt Pistol: grammar (consistent number)
==Volg "Spitfire" Bolt Pistol==
The '''Spitfire''' "bolt pistol" (which is in fact not a real bolt pistol) is based on the [[Lucifer pattern launcher]], a handgun-like device used for firing signal flares, tow lines and similar purposes. Allegedly created by an outcast tech-adept from [[Magnavar]] named [[Verey]], legends have it that the weapon was created to fight giant [[Maw-fluke]]s. This ad-hoc weapon proved so efficient that it has been produced on [[Volg]] ever since. Some Spitfires are even sold as authentic bolt pistols to people who don't know better. Instead of real bolts the Spitfire uses modified rocket-propelled distress flares with crude impact detonators. This ammunition is not nearly as effective as real bolts but are is still quite lethal and will ignite flammable materials.{{Fn|1}}
