No go. Inject-then-project is still a projectile. If you could coat
your weapon with such a dissolver, and make sure it didn't drip off and
leak over the floor or other robot, then maybe...but, to my knowledge,
there are no good dissolvers that stick well enough. ("Well enough"
basically means large-piece solid - no free-floating dust, for
instance.)
