So I recently had a character come into some cash, and one of those "oh that'd be cool" items to get was the Grappler. What's odd though is it doesn't list a range for firing it standalone. I assume you can use it without mounting it to a Projectile weapon as the artwork shows a Batman-esq grapple-gun.
Closest to a range I could find is a line that roughly says to throw the Grappler or to attach it to a weapon, both of which is kinda odd for a standalone device.
"A grappler can be thrown as a grenade or set over the muzzle of a ranged weapon that targets KAC, in which case it has half the normal range increment of the weapon..."
Is there a rule or errata I'm not aware of regarding the Grappler, or should I consider Profession: Cowboy and learn some cool rope tricks?
Might want to do a small arms check with a penalty.

While that could answer what to roll versus the target object/location, it doesn't answer the question of "how far does it shoot?" There's just a lot that seems to have been left on the cutting room floor for the Grappler.
Just watched a video on the internet where a guy shot a batsman like grappling hook 150'. So thinking this is 2017 I am pretty sure in the future they would just be better made but can't imagine them going that much further. Thanks YouTube.
How do the capacity and usage of the grappler listed in the table work in play? In the description the grappler stays in place until acted upon, and there isn't a battery mentioned?
I always imagined a kick ass scene where an operative jumps out a window of a skyscraper window and use a wrist mounted grapple to swing to a lower floor. Kind of like in Mission Impossible 3.
Can I do this Owen!?
