==Description==
The '''Fluid Gun''' is nothing more than a militarized [[Fluid Sprayer]] system. By toughening the feed lines and storage tanks, the engineers of Solaris VII created a system roughly equivalent to a [[Flamer]]. Unlike the flamer however, the Fluid Gun can store and spray a variety of fluid types. Clever arena fighters have used [[Water as Coolant|water]], [[Oil Slick Liquid|oil slicks]], [[Inferno Fuel]], [[Cooling Fluid]], and [[Corrosive Fluid]]s in matches.<ref name="TOp313"/><ref name="MP:SVIIp59">''MapPack: Solaris VII'', p. 59, "Fluid Gun"</ref>

Though a flexible weapon, if the Fluid Gun's storage tanks are ruptured they will inflict damage equivalent to a Machine Gun hit on the internal structure of the unit carrying it. Worse, the fluids stored in the ammo bin will leak through the chassis of the unit, causing additional damage.<ref name="TOp313"/><ref name="MP:SVIIp59"/>
