 * Name: Mantis
 * Wielder:Kanika Rutto
 * Maker/Smith:Kanika Rutto
 * Type: Direct Melee Ballistic Fist (DMFB
 * Weapon Derivation: Strong side fist, Ballistic fist(fallut new vegas)
 * Form 1:A pair of gauntlets with a studded striking surface/pressure plate on the knuckles. on the main body of eah weapon, parallel to the forearm, is a bullpup style magazine connected to a high-caliber rifled barell and firing mechanism. when the pressure plate is triggered, the gun fires.
 * Form 2: The firing mechanism reracts, and the entire outer shell rotates, moving a secondary firing system into place, featuring a lower caliber, non rifled barell. in this mode, the weapon fires microjet projectiles that are specially designed for use underwater. this mode is fired using a manual button trigger connected to a small handhold that deploys at the same time as the firing assembly switches
 * Form 3:both firing mechanisms are disabled and weighted metal plates extend around the hands in a spherical shape, this mode is used exclusively for melee combat and is surprisingly lethal.
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: (How it looks when not in use)
 * Features/Capabilities: form 2 uses ice and lightning dust based microjets that alternate with each shot. the bullets fired in form 1 are .50 caliber R.I.P rounds, a variant of a hollow point bullet that breaks apart into a large number of razor sharp, barbed fragments upon breaching the oponents skin.
 * Usage: Kanika uses a variant of the south african Dambe style of boxing, utilising swinging strikes, direct punches, and spin kicks. the direct punches trigger the guns to fire, delivering a what is effectively a shrapnel grenade directly into the opponent. when fighting in an aquatic environement, she uses form 2 to avoid being blown backwards by recoil or injuring teammates with stray bullet shards. form 3 is used primarily against humans, as the sheer brutality of her guns has very nearly gotten her in trouble when sparring, as the bullets has a tendency of overpenetrating protective aura.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades:double barrels for further increased lethality.
 * Notes: nones
