Talex-Delcor SKE/4 Ballistic Knife

This is a standard, ceramic composite fighting/throwing dagger, with a twist. It may be used normally, but it may also be used a silent ballistic weapon. By grasping the butt cap and twisting to the right 90 degrees, you unlock the blade retention spring and extend the trigger from out behind the cross guard. Just point and pull. When the spring breaks, it contains nearly 100kg of stored force, which all go into hurling the knife blade forward. This has enough force to actually go through an unarmoured human. It is, unfortunately, unreuasable.

For a really interesting effect, fire it into the opponent's forehead and leave. His comrades will be wondering four things, 1) where is the rest of the knife, 2) who is strong enough to shove a knife through a person's skull, 3) is that person still around, and 4) why is he mad at you.
