They have one, actually, in the Wasted West sourcebook.  It's an
experimental NA assault rifle designed to be used on Banshee by soldiers
behind enemy lines for extended periods of time who can't access supplies
easily.  So, the rifle uses ghost rock vapor (gathered from a small chunk of
ghost rock) for propellant and has its own battery-powered
crucible/bullet-caster included in the back.

Each time it's fired, however, there's a small chance that it kicks out some
vapors that don't burn away.  Breathe too much of these and you risk
contracting ghost rock fever.
