	An extremely short-range weapon, capable of flame projection for less than four metres from the muzzle, the fire-lance is primarily a psychological weapon whose incendiary effect is used by guardsmen and caravan-merchants in the unsettled spaces to deter the encroachment of bandits or curious Cerids. At close range, and packed with shrapnel, the fire lance can make for a serviceable shotgun and can be adapted for nighttime use as a signal flare.
