Lock-Punch
A Lock-Punch is a piece of equipment frequently used by the Adeptus Arbites.[1]
A simple two-handed cylinder with a salvaged grav-plate generator built in, the lock-punch is designed to quickly disable door locks. The user presses the cylinder against the lock and triggers the plate, which generates a localized maelstrom of gravitic energies that tear the lock (or occasionally the entire door) apart. The user must be wary, however, as the temperamental mechanism may backfire and throw the user across a room—or into the ceiling. The most common form of the lock-punch is crafted from stolen grav-plating found in long forgotten corridors of Hive Subrique. It is rumoured that the entire hive was built on the remnants of a Rogue Trader’s vessel, but more level heads point to deep sea pressures as a reason to install grav-plates deep within the Hive’s infrastructure.[1]
