Special Properties

Incendiary - Targets struck with this weapon's attacks must make a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + Your Proficiency Bonus + Intelligence Modifier or start Burning, taking 1d6 Fire damage at the start of each of their turns until the condition is ended early. This will ignite any flammable objects as well.

Loading: Speed load 3 packets with a Bonus Action. Requires an Action to reload completely. If dual-wielded, both a Bonus Action and Action must be taken to reload. Jamming: On a critical failure, roll a 1D6, if it lands on a 1, the weapon overheats and cannot fire until the start of your next turn. Handling: 1-handed

The Vspyshka, or 'Flashbulb' was originally an experimental design early after the great war but as the technology matured, so did the design. It is probably the most common example available of a working handheld laser weapon. Its original design was intended to blind hostile nations' astronauts if engaged in a tense situation, but its power per cartridge was brought up substantially so it's a lot more threatening than the super-bright flashbulb it once was. It's a chemically-powered laser revolver.
