Dragon's Breath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Dragon's breath usually refers to a zirconium-based pyrotechnic shotgun round. When fired, a gout of flame erupts from the barrel of the gun (up to 30 ft). While it has no tactical uses, the visual effect it produces is impressive, similar to that of a short ranged flamethrower. The shell is expensive when compared to other shells. It cannot be used in a semi-automatic shotgun, as it is a very low power round and will not produce enough recoil energy to cycle the next shot causing the weapon to jam. Another reason it should only be used in a single action gun is because it shoots a flame for 3-5 seconds, and if this shell were spent on the ground it would spin around and harm people standing near it. Dragon's breath rounds are banned in many locations due to their inherent fire hazard.
