When collapsed, the baton is more easily concealed than a standard club. When extended, it has a Concealability of 5. Source: Cannon Companion, page 10 Mace, Normal A mace is essentially a club with a weighted mass, often studded or spiked, on the end. This inflicts stun damage. Source: Cannon Companion, page 10 Mace, Spiked Made to inflict physical damage due to it's mass, a spiked mace is intended to even penetrate armor. Source: Cannon Companion, page 10 Rattan Stick A lightweight club popular with martial artists, especially the fast-moving techniques of Filipino stick-fighting. Because the sticks weigh very little, treat these clubs as flechette ammunition for determining damage. Against unarmored opponents, a rattan stick inflicts (STR+1)S Stun damage, and against armored targets the damage is (STR+1)M Stun and the target uses his ballistic armor or double Impact for the Damage Resistance Test, whichever is higher. Source: Cannon Companion, page 10 Sai A three pronged defensive weapon that originated in Okinawa. While the sai can be used to inflict Stun damage, its primary function is to trap and hold an opponent's weapon, thereby disarming him. A sai adds 2 dice to any attempt to disarm an opponent wielding a firearm, or melee weapon with a Reach of 1 or less.

Source: Shadowrun 3rd Edition, page 275 Stun Baton, AZ-150 This high-energy stun baton was designed for use by security forces against orks, trolls, and other large opponents. Though it delivers a bigger jolt than the standard stun baton, it carries only enough charge for 12 uses. The baton can be recharged at a rate of 1 use per five minutes of recharging. Source: Cannon Companion, page 10 Tonfa * This is one of the traditional weapons of Karate (the others are the bo, eiku, kama, nunchaku, sai, tekko, and timbe and rochin). It consists of a truncheon with a handle protruding at 90 degrees near one end. It is often used in pairs. The Indonesian counterparts to the tonfa are the segu, which is used in Tapak Sutji Pentjak-Silat, and the kwai, which is used in Kuntao. Game Notes: The tonfa is as often used for defense as offense. As such, the player gains a +1 to Impact Armor in the same manner as Forearm Guards, as the player can rapidly spin the tonfa along their forearm to block incoming blows. This item is incompatible with Forearm Guards, if both are worn/used, just one bonus is useable. You DO need Clubs skill in order to gain the armor bonus as well.

A basic, well-balanced broadsword, what makes the monosword unique is the superfine monofilament wire attached to the edges of the blade, making it extremely sharp and less likely to blunt. The monosword does not need regular sharpening. Source: Cannon Companion, page 8 Boot Spurs * Classic cowboy boot spurs, the non jingling stabby kind.

Source: Cannon Companion, page 8 Folding Sword (Club Shape) * Now THIS little number is really nifty. I call it a Folding Sword. I didn't come up with it; I saw it in action against a Ares suit we were being hired to protect. A flick of the wrist and the assassin suddenly had a cane in his hand; a touch of a button, and that cane turned into a meter-long blade. Too nice. I managed to get a hold of it afterwards and did some dissection work. Turns out it's like one of those collapsible rods, just nested cylinders that extend and lock into a meter-long club. But, it's made of memory metal. Applying a slight electrical current makes the cylinders go from a ring shape to a diamond wedge shape, and voila! Instant meter-long blade. It's not as strong as a regular sword (it's hollow) and there's no hand guard, so it's not real helpful for defense. And here's the main problem: it's not available on the streets at all. How do you get one? Well, you can take it from someone who has it, or you can ask your J if he can hook you up. I figure it's pretty cheap for a megacorporation to make — probably a thousand nuyen in parts and labor — but they don't want everyone running around with a sword that comes out of nowhere. Don't ask your local street dealer for one, either: memory metal ain't something we see often, and it sure as hell ain't something I can work with even given my facilities. And no, you can't dikote it. The metal has to remain flexible in order for it to do its trick, and dikoting ruins it. Game Notes: This item has -2 Dice for Full Defense, Counter Attack, or Disarm Tests. The folding sword requires a Free Action to fold or unfold, a Simple Action to switch from club to sword (or vice versa).

A wide-based triangular blade protrudes from a bar across one end of the H. Modern versions of punch daggers feature a short, perpendicular grip, with the blade protruding from between the fingers. This weapon is designed to allow a well-placed strike and a forceful twist. Source: Cannon Companion, page 8 Knife A basic, all-purpose street cutter.

Source: Custom Denver MUSH Kris A wavy bladed knife from Indonesia, the kris is widely believed to be spiritually in tune with its owner, and many enchanters have found this to be true. Source: Cannon Companion, page 8 Laser Crescent Axe Centurion Industries designed this weapon for use against Awakened creatures, featuring a lightweight crescent-shaped axehead to prevent snagging and a pair of wielding lasers mounted on either side of the blade. The lasers, attached perpendicular to the handle, focus their beams just past the blade's edge, matching its crescent shape and improving the blade's efficiency. While the Centurion axe is smaller than its ancient cousin, enabling a person to wield it with one hand, it maintains the traditional thumping chop common to a two-handed axe. However, the lasers are easily knocked out of alignment. Whenever the Centurion strikes an armored target, roll 2d6 and add the results. If the total is less than the target's Impact armor (or barrier) rating, the lasers have been knocked out of alignment. Until it is realigned, the axe will only inflict (STR)M damage. Realigning the axe requires 30 minutes and an Electronics B/R (4) Test. Laser axes have a battery life of 2 hours and require 1 hour to recharge. Source: Cannon Companion, page 8 Macuahuitl A traditional Aztec weapon popular in Aztlan, the maucauitl is a meter-long, wide-bladed ceremonial sword made of densiplast or oak. On opposite edges of the blade, sharpened slivers of obsidian provide the cutting edge. Though it looks jury-rigged and ineffective, the maucaitl is quite sharp and deadly. It can cut through flesh and clothing with relative ease; use the following rules for attacks against armored targets. Whenever the wielder strikes an armored opponent, roll 1d6. If the result is less than the target's Impact armor (or barrier) rating, the obsidian blades on one edge will break off, reducing the weapon's Power to (STR+1)M. If the blades on the remaining edge break off, the maucaitl then functions as a club, using that skill and damage.

The grip contains a high capacity power cell good for 10 charges. They cost 25 nuyen each, are always available, and are legal. When a target is struck with the whip, minute conductive fibers protruding from the whip induce an electric shock into the target, causing muscle convulsions and temporary paralysis like a stungun. This weapon follows the rules for Shock Weapons as per a Stun Baton (See shock weapons, SR3 p 124) This weapon follows the same rules for a monofilament whip (SR3, p 275) for risks of hitting ones self with the weapon. It is advised not to use this weapon in the rain or aquatic environments. Source: Shadowrun Denver Custom Item, +info gear custom melee electrowhip Kusarigama Made famous by ninja flicks cranked out assembly-line style, the kusarigama consists of a sickle attached to a long length of chain ending in a weighted ball. The chain is used to entangle or strangle an opponent, while the ball and sickle provide pummeling and slicing attacks, respectively. The kusarigama can be use to snare an opponent in the same manner as a whip. This is a two-handed weapon. Source: Cannon Companion, page 11 Manriki-Gusari The manriki-gusari is a long chain with a heavy spherical weight on each end. It is equally effective for trapping, strangling and bludgeoning an opponent. The manriki-gusari can ensnare a foe in the same way as a whip, and may inflict damage during the entanglement attack. This is a two-handed weapon. Source: Cannon Companion, page 11 Monofilament Whip An uncommon and feared weapon on the streets of 2060. Though not truly monomolecular, the monofilament whip can inflict significant damage. It consists of a short haft that holds the monofilament line when not in use. The line can extend out to two meters, which gives it +2 Reach. The whip action, the presence of a weighted tip and the danger posed by the monofilament line all make wielding this weapon difficult, at best. If an attack misses solely because the target’s Combat Pool dice successes exceed the attacker’s successes (a possibility only if using the optional Full Defense rule; see Combat, p. 123), or if the attacker rolls more 1s than successes, the attacker risks being hit by the whip. When this occurs, make a separate Whip Test against a Target Number 6. If the test yields no successes, the whip strikes the attacker. The attacker must then make a Damage Resistance Test (Body dice plus Combat Pool dice) against the weapon’s standard Damage Code of 10S. Impact armor protects against the monofilament whip, but its rating is halved (round down). Barrier Ratings are doubled against a monowhip. Source: Shadowrun 3rd Edition, page 275 Morning Star The morning star is a spiked or studded ball attached to a shaft by a length of chain. The momentum created by the chain allows this whip-style weapon to inflict Physical damage. This brutal weapon was popular in the Middle Ages and remains so with the barbaric at heart. The weapon can also be used to entangle an opponent in the same manner as a whip.

Whips can be used to snare an opponent instead of doing damage — each net success on the Attack Test provides one die. These dice are then used for an Open Test. The highest number rolled is the target number for the victim’s Strength Success Test to free himself from entanglement (which takes a Complex Action).

Specifically designed to incorporate an internal Smartlink-2 system, the engineering also provides 3 points of recoil compensation. This weapon cannot accept barrel-mounted accessories. In burst-fire mode, the HVAR fires 6 round bursts that inflict 12D damage. These bursts suffer recoil for each bullet in the same way as standard bursts: a single burst incurs a recoil of +6 (+3 with compensation), and a second burst in the same Combat Phase would suffer +12 (+9). In full-auto mode, the HVAR fires at at maximum rate of 18 rounds per phase. This autofire can be directed in bursts at more than one target, but at least 6 rounds must be fired in each autofire burst.

Designed for covert ops work, the Sabre is designed to have a smaller profile than the standard assault rifle, using the venerable bullpup configuration. Space-age polymers and durable ceramics give the Sabre a lighter weight than most rifles with the added advantage of partial invisibility to the ubiquitous MAD scanners and internal compensators in case you need to fire more than one round. The small barrel, while reducing the range of the weapon, gives it a smaller profile perfect for room-to-room combat, and the built-in suppressor keeps the noise down when your team needs to be quiet. Add into that the Mark II Smartlink system and you have a small, compact firing system for the covert ops team on the move. - Game Notes: Bullpup, Integral Smartlink-2, Ceramic Components Level 1, Integral Recoil Compensation, Integral Sound Suppressor, Reduced Barrel. - Mounts Available: Top, Underbarrel Source: Denver MUSH Custom Colt M22A2 Voted the Best New Weapon of 2048 by the International Mercenaries Guild, the M22A2 is packed with accessories.

FN was under contract to sell the rifles only to a select few AAA Corporations which was held until 2062. These saw numerous actions during Operation RECIPROCITY which took place in 2048, causing some to believe they were developed specifically for that purpose. Many Desert Wars veterans swear by their reliability and stopping power, and since the lapse of the contract they have finally started becoming available more generally. The FN-MARS, or Marksman Automatic Rifle System, is a barebones weapon designed to allow for extensive customization. Many of the rifles that saw service were wildly different from one another due to personal prefrence of the end users. - Integrated features and accessories: Smartlink-1; Note: The FN-MARS suffers double penalty for uncompensated recoil, like a Heavy Weapon.

Adopted and put into widespread service by the British Army in 2068, the rifle has proven itself worthy of winning the trials after certain problems were eliminated in the design by advanced machine tooling. It is a compact, versatile small arm laid out in bullpup to ensure short overall length while maintaining a full length barrel. One of the major requirements of the 2065 trials was a reliable selectable clip mechanism, thus the SA75A1 sacrifices some individual magazine capacity by using single stacked magazines, but improves versatility in ammunition choice. Allowing a single infantryman to have both lethal and non-lethal response at his very fingertips, something of utmost importance in conflicts such as the Lambeth area. Still only in production in the United Kingdom, this rifle is rarely seen outside of the hands of a British Army infantryman. - Accessories: Bullpup Design (1 integral recoil comp), Dual Clip Feed. - Mounts Available: Barrel, Top, Underbarrel Source: Denver MUSH Custom Semopal vz/88V The chosen assault rifle of the Czech Mechanized Forces, the 88v features a built-in laser sight (underbarrel mount), a folding stock and a magnification 2 imaging scope (top mounted).

It features two removable clips, the first being a reservoir of DMSO gel and the second being chemical capsules. Each clip is designed with a different shape, color and grooves, so it cannot be confused and wrongly inserted. - The SuperSquirt uses compressed air technology, making it silent and recoilless. The DMSO and chemical are dissolved together and launched at the target. A solid hit is all that's needed, as the DMSO penetrates most armor and soaks into the skin. - The SuperSquirt counts as a light pistol; a character firing it uses the Pistol Skill. It may be drone-mounted, but it cannot accept any top-, barrel- or under-barrel-mounted accessories. This weapon uses DMSO in a reservoir clip, good for 20 shots.

The fuel is stored in tanks worn on the back as a backpack and delivered to the target through a hose attached to a pistol-grip nozzle. Putting on or removing the backpack takes a full Combat Turn. The flamethrower requires a full Combat Turn to warm up before it can be used. Flamethrowers can be used to blast a single target or they can be used to spread flame over a wide area in an attempt to strike multiple opponents. For the area sweep attack, use the shotgun spread rules. Note that the flamethrowers do not have a choke like a shotgun; this rule merely reflects that the user may walk a stream of continuous flame and cover an area. The 8M damage is reduced by Impact armor but not ballistic. The flame will set any combustible materials on fire, including hair, clothing, wood, dry grass, flammable liquids and so on. Ammo and explosives may also be cooked off. Flamethrower fuel is measured in shots. Each pair of fuel tanks hold 10 shots. An empty tank costs 50 nuyen, plus each shot costs 5 nuyen to fill. The tanks can be filled in five minutes, or replaced in 5 full Combat Turns. the fuel tanks have a Barrier Rating of 10; if they are breached by an explosion or other attack, they will explode in a ball of fire. The blast will have a Power equal to 2 times the number of shots left, -1 per half meter from the tanks, and a Damage Level of M. A character firing the flamethrower uses the Spray Weapons skill. Flamethrowers use shotgun ranges, and they cannot mount any accessories. Mounts Available: None Source: CC 29-30 Flamethrower, Underbarrel Nozzle A specially designed nozzle may be purchased that allows the flamethrower nozzle to be mounted to the underbarrel of a rifle, shotgun or assault rifle.

The rounds are packaged in a safety wrap that is ejected upon launch. - A character firing a splat gun uses the Launch Weapons Skill; the weapon uses shotgun ranges. Two characters standing within 1 meter of each other may be targeted simultaneously. Struck targets must make a Body (8) Test to avoid knockdown; they will also be covered in glue and stuck to everything in the immediate vicinity (walls, the floor, gear and so on). The character will be immobilized, requiring a successful Strength (6) Test with a number of successes equal to the net successes generated on the Attack Test to take any physical action. - Refillable compressed air canisters in the stock, (good for 50 shots), power the guns. Refilling a canister costs 50 nuyen. Source: MM 116 Spray Tank Similar to a fire extinguisher, this is a chemical-filled tank with an attached hose. Designed to be strapped to the back or slung over a shoulder, the tank is triggered by depressing a lever, which admits carbon dioxide into the main tank, forcing whatever chemical is inside out through the hose. Almost any compound can be stored inside a spray tank, from slip foam to insecticide, for dispersal over a wide area. - The Active Skill Spray Weapons is used to spray the contents of a tank at a target. Spray Weapons Skill is linked to Strength and grouped with Heavy Weapons. Specializations include Firehose, Flamethrower and Spray Tank. Spray tanks use taser ranges, but their hose nozzles can be adjusted like a shotgun's choke, using shotgun spread rules. Any target that does not completely dodge the attack is hosed. - The carbon dioxide used to power the tank is good for 50 uses; recharging it costs 50 nuyen. Spray tanks hold up to 2 liters of any chemical. Source: MM 116-117 Spray Tank, CO2 Container The carbon dioxide used to power the tank is good for 50 uses; recharging it costs 50 nuyen.

However, this weapon features a second slot for a chemical clip, allowing the firer to change types with the flip of a switch. - The Liquidator uses compressed air technology, making it silent and recoiless. GAME NOTES: The Liquidator counts as a light pistol; use Pistol skill to fire this weapon and Light Pistol ranges. - The weapon uses DMSO in a reservoir clip good for 20 shots. Each chemical clip contains 10 capsules, with each considered one dose. The grip of the Liquidator contains a canister of compressed CO2, good for 50 shots. It can be recharged for 50 nuyen. Each shot fired uses one shot of DMSO and one shot from the selected clip. While one of the clips might be empty, the other can still be fired with the remaining DMSO in the reservoir. - Switching between clips is a Simple Action. - The Liquidator may be drone-mounted, but it cannot accept any top-, barrel-, or under-barrel mounted accessories. It cannot accept any accessories at all, under any circumstances. Source: Custom Denver MUSH Z-IC Splash Grenade Developed by Zeta-lmpChem, these grenades disperse a chemical spray over a wide area. The chemical is often mixed with DMSO (M&M p. 111). A wide range of compounds is available, from gamma-scopolamine to insecticide. - Splash grenades soak everything within a 5-meter radius with their chemical spray. Each grenade holds roughly 1 liter (10 doses) of a compound. - The cost does not include the chemical's cost.

Strictly speaking however, the Interceptor is not a revolver at all; it rather features a unique rotating chamber system based on torpedo loading systems used on Candiru-class submarines, produced during the Eurowars by General Dynamics, an Ares subsidiary. The cylinder of the Interceptor resembles a 3x3 grid, where the eight peripheral chambers hold the ammunition that are fed into the rotating central chamber which connects to the barrel. The weapon was a commercial failure as the complex rotating chamber made it much more expensive than regular revolvers and slower to reload, but the unique loading mechanism, that allows a user to load different ammunition types and switch between them as needed, did attract some interest among special interest groups. The reloading mechanism can be controlled either via Smartlink or through buttons connected to a small LCD display at the back of the gun, where the hammer would be on a conventional revolver.<br>Notes: The Ares Interceptor is an exception to the normal rule disallowing a mix of ammunition types in the same magazine. Each chamber of the Interceptor can be freely loaded with any type of standard pistol ammunition, and a Smartlinked user can switch between ammo types with a Free Action. A non-cybered operator can do so via the manual control using a Simple Action.

A compact by name only, the firearm is large even by heavy pistol standards, though it does sport some interesting features, including an all-polymer frame with a composite barrel and high impact plastic clips. The weapon itself in fact contains no metal at all, making it invisible to common scanners like magnetic anomaly detectors, though its ammunition might still be visible. The firearm is not without its criticism, with the composite-based integral silencer having performance issues at times, and the power of the pistol is slightly lacking due to Beretta's choice to use a below average calibre of round. All said, the pistol is praised by mercenaries, special forces groups, and less scrupulous individuals around the world for being the pistol that packs a punch you can depend on when you can't bring the Predator. The weapon has been used recently in high profile murders, and though this has caused the weapon to be targeted in the media and various government agencies, no new legislation has been made against the gun as of 2070.

This under-over style derringer carries considerable stopping power in the form of a pair of 11 mm rounds. A Fuchita laser sight (in your choice of red, green, or blue) and dual triggers give you precision and power at your fingertips. At a light .7 kilograms, this weapon's ceramic frame and small profile makes it not only a work of art, but a potent deterrent in the arsenal of any bodyguard or executive protection agent. Each Gambler is an exacting replica of the weapon used in the movie, down to the intricately engraved glyphs along the barrel and the genuine mahogany grip. Also, each Gambler comes with the John "The Gambler" McCheedle forearm snap-holster, perfect for getting that gun into play fast.Game Notes: The Gambler's ceramic build makes it invisible to MADs. It comes with an integral laser sight. This weapon does not have any additional mounts for accessories. The Gambler may fire both its barrels simultaneously (treat as a Short Burst, SR3, p. 115). The Snap Holster is meant to be worn on the forearm and ejects the weapon into the player's hand by flexing of certain muscles in the arm. This holster is incompatible with forearm guards. It acts in all other ways (except where noted in the stats) as a Concealable Quickdraw Holster, and is designed specifically for the Gambler. Each Gambler pistol comes with the holster free of charge.

Just like the Puzzler, this weapon is completely composed of polyresin materials and cannot be detected by MADs. The gun can be broken down into component parts that mimic toiletries and other commonly carried items in a traveler's luggage, making it even easier to transport illegally. Recognizing the various components as belonging to a gun requires a Perception (10) Test or a Pistols B/R (6) Test. The Infiltrator can be easily assembled or disassembled with a Pistols B/R (4) Test and a base time of 10 Combat Turns.

Before the advent of the Ares EBT, it was a relatively common sight among SWAT units for door breaching, providing quick access to specialised shotgun shells like the Shock Lock without having to bring an additional weapon. It is still popular among less well-funded police forces, and even if it is getting close to half a century old it is still effective and reliable. It can be fired via a thumb button or via smartlink, but must be cycled manually. Intended primarily as a door breaching tool, the short barrel reduces its effective range to that of Heavy Pistols and has a maximum choke setting of 4. It is operated using the Shotguns skill. Source: Denver Custom Defiance T-250 A popular autoloading shotgun available in full-size and short-barrel versions. It has no underbarrel mount. The Damage Code is factored for slug rounds; if using shotgun (flechette) rounds the Damage Code is 10D(f). The short-barrel variant uses heavy pistol ranges, has Concealability 6 and does 9S(f) or 9M damage. Mounts Available: Barrel, Top Source: Shadowrun 3rd Edition, page 278 Enfield AS-7 This assault shotgun provides massive firepower. It has an integral, top-mounted laser sight and is fitted with a 10-shot clip or 50-shot drum (the drum adds –3 to Concealability, +2 kg to weight). If loaded with shotgun rounds (flechette) instead of slug rounds, the weapon has a Damage Code of 8D(f).

Mounts Available: Barrel, Top, Underbarrel Source: CC 23 Mossberg MAG-7 Persuader * The MAG-7 shotgun was developed by Mossberg specifically for close combat operations in confined spaces, particularly for law enforcement in urban areas. In terms of stopping power and short range firepower in general 12 gauge shotguns are hard to beat, but the pump-action shotgun of yesteryear proved too unwieldy. Having started out life as a conventional pump-action design the Persuader is possibly one of the most radically changed designs in the history of Mossberg. No longer pump-action, and now with a profile closer to that of an assault rifle than a shotgun the Persuader cuts an intimidating futuristic figure in any arsenal. Game Notes: External Smartlink-II, decreases Conceal to 2, add to cost. Design modifications and bullpup configuration provide 1 point of recoil compensation. Reduced barrel reduces ranges by 10 percent, and choke may not be set above 6.

When firing standard slug rounds, its Damage Code is 8S, but the gun delivers a more powerful attack with shot rounds, increasing the damage to 10D(f). The 990 is also available in a sawed-off version, which increases the Conceal to 4 but reduces the Power of its attack by 2. Mounts Available: Barrel, Top, Underbarrel Source: CC 23 Street Sweeper This jury-rigged shotgun is commonly used by sprawl gangers. Not officially distributed by any corporation, this weapon's design has been popularized by several trid combat shows and can be easily downloaded off the Matrix or obtained from any underworld syndicate. -Similar to an old-fashioned musket gun, the Street Sweeper must be manually loaded for each shot with condensed black power cubes (10 =Y= per box of 10), which requires a Simple Action. The weapon's muzzle is then crammed full of any small, hard junk or debris within reach - rocks, glass, screws, nails, metal bits, plascrete chunks and so on. Loading this 'ammunition' requires at least one Simple Action, and the GM may require additional actions based on the availability of nearby debris. -When fired, the weapon forcibly ejects the debris as shrapnel. Use taser ranges, but also apply rules for shotgun choke settings. The gun has a fixed choke setting that must be determined at purchase. Street Sweepers cause damage using the flechette ammunition rules. The GM may choose to modify the Power of the Damage Code by -1 or +1, depending on the debris loaded into the barrel. - Mounts Available: None Source: CC 23 VG Bentley SxS* The VG Bentley SxS is one model among many of the classic, side by side double-barreled shotgun first invented in the 16th century and falling out of fashion with the advent of autoloading shotguns in the late 20th century. Most remaining models still in use like this one have been sawed-off, turning them into an easily concealed and deadly close range surprise. Due to this and the relative abundance of ammo these can be found under the long-coats of many a sprawl-dweller, worldwide. - Game Information: The Bentley may fire both its barrels simultaneously. Treat this as a short burst, SR3 Core pg 115. It uses Heavy Pistol Ranges and may not set choke higher than 6.

Air is drawn from a diver's scuba tank or air source through an inlet valve in the butt and into the firing chamber, allowing regular ammunition to be used underwater. Positive pressure from the air source ensures no water rushes in during firing, and a purge valve flushes out any water taken in while changing clips. - The water carbine only uses caseless rounds and ignores the side effects applied to firearms during water combat. It must be connected to an air source to fire underwater.

Mounts Available: Top Source: CC 20-21 Heckler & Koch XSG* Originally designed for the personal protection services of Saeder Krupp executives, this weapon has gained notoriety in the shadow community as the go-to SMG for concealable firepower. The XSG is comprised almost entirely of plastic and ceramic construction, leaving it nearly invisible to MAD scanning devices in order to ensure the protection and discretion of the protected. Its design looks like a compact block of material when attached to a harness under jacket or coat, but a draw and a button press or cybernetic command has the stock and foregrip unfurl simultaneously, deploying to a deadly package that allows for superb control of fire given its small size. The weapon's short barrel adds to the concealability and the efficacy of the weapon's use in tight spaces, and the barrel assembly itself is specially designed to conceal firing noise from those attempting to locate a protection detail utilizing the surprise of the weapon. It is made with both natural and cybernetically augmented individuals in mind, with an option for an internal laser sight or Smartlink-2 system available from the catalog. - A word of warning for those private contractors and deniable specialists using the XSG: The firearm is considered to have two users, and two users only: Bodyguards, or assassins. Most professionals will assume, if you are caught with one, that you are the latter by default, unless proven otherwise. - Game Notes: Ceramic Components 2 (+4 to MAD Detection), Integral Recoil Compensation 2, Integral Foregrip, Integral Sound Suppressor, Integral Folding Stock. - Mounts Available: Top Source: Cutsom Denver MUSH Ingram Smartgun A favorite of street samurai, this weapon comes equipped with an integral Smartgun link, folding shoulder stock (1 point of recoil compensation), and a barrel-mounted, Rating 2 gas-vent recoil compensation system.

Ideal for the assassin on the go, the SM-3 does not stand up well to combat use. The number of turns that this rifle is carried and used as a combat weapon (outside its intended sniper role) equals the chance on a roll of 2D6 that the weapon will suffer a +2 target number modifier from loss of alignment of its precision and calibrated parts. For example, John uses his SM-3 to discourage his pursuers while making a strategic retreat through a garbage-cluttered alley. His rifle gets bumped around for 3 turns. If his player gets a 3 on a 2D6 roll, John must add +2 to all target numbers for tests using the weapon.

Essentially a very similar rifle to the original M1, the M2I is an extremely traditional rifle that only serves as an incremental update of the older rifles by adopting a modern calibre and material construction. Reports on the rifle's reliability vary depending on original manufacturer but most reviewers agree: it packs a hell of a punch at a range more than suitable for civilian hunting and sport shooting purposes. - Integrated features and accessories: None; Note: The Springfield M2I suffers double penalty for uncompensated recoil, like a Heavy Weapon.

While less-than-lethal force can often be sufficient to disarm a situation, loading your standard issue shotgun with stun shells or gel slugs leaves you without an immediately available lethal option if needed, a mistake that may cost an officer's life. To enable an operative to keep the full-power load in his shotgun or assault rifle but also have quick access to a non-lethal alternative, Defiance has released a version of their bestseller the Super Shock, intended to be mounted under the barrel of any conventional firearm and will only fire self-contained capacitor darts, rather than the more traditional wired darts. Rules: The underbarrel taser is operated by the same skill as the weapon upon which it is mounted. In all other aspects, it is subject to the usual rules for tasers, including effective range. Source: Denver Custom Yamaha Pulsar The Pulsar fires capacitor darts at a target, eliminating the wires that trail from the dart to the weapon common with other tasers.

When carried in its discreet disguised form, the only thing differentiating a Protector from a normal briefcase is the depressed firing stud in the handle and the concealed barrel port on the briefcase's side. Smartlinked versions do not even feature the firing stud because they are fired cybernetically. - Though it can be fired while in the form of a briefcase, a simple mechanism allows the user to detach the Protector SMG, breaking away from the briefcase trappings. This requires a Simple Action. In either mode, the Protector requires the Submachine gun skill to use. In briefcase mode, the Protector suffers double uncompensated recoil. - The Protector features an integral sound suppressor and may mount only underbarrel accessories. A folding stock may be used when it is broken away from the briefcase, providing 1 point of recoil compensation. This weapon can only use caseless ammunition.

Source: CC 31 FN-AAL Gyrojet Pistol The preferred weapon of the British Special Boat Squadron, the gyrojet pistol fires miniature 6mm rockets that propel themselves at a target and explode upon impact. Initially developed for underwater combat (where the hydrostatic force of the explosion increases its effectiveness), gyrojet pistols may also be used on land. Gyrojet pistols can mount accessories in the same way as any other heavy pistol, and suffer recoil per standard firearm rules. They use heavy pistol ranges when fired underwater and shotgun ranges when fired on land. When used underwater, increase the Damage Level of gyrojet rockets by one.

Net guns come in two sizes, normal and large. The large version is designed to restrain bigger metahumans such as trolls, though it can fire the normal sized nets as well. The net gun cannot mount any accessories. A character firing a netgun uses the Shotguns skill and shotgun ranges. Netguns suffer the same recoil as heavy weapons. Netguns have a minimum range of three meters. - The target of a net gun shot can attempt to dodge, but must apply a +1 TN modifier (+2 if the character is a dwarf or equally small). If a large net is used against a character smaller than a troll, add an additional +1 TN modifier to the dodge. If a small net is used against a troll-sized or larger character, apply a -1 TN modifier to the dodge test. - If the character fails to dodge and the attacker's successes equal or exceed half the target's Quickness (round down), the character is knocked down and immobilized, trapped under the net. make an Open Test, using 1 die for each of the attacker's successes.

FN was under contract to sell the rifles only to a select few AAA Corporations which was held until 2062. These saw numerous actions during Operation RECIPROCITY which took place in 2048, causing some to believe they were developed specifically for that purpose. Many Desert Wars veterans swear by their reliability and stopping power, and since the lapse of the contract they have finally started becoming available more generally. The FN-SHAWS, or Squad Heavy Automatic Weapon System, is a support weapon designed to combine the mobility of a light machinegun with the additional stopping power of a medium machinegun, on a platform more familiar to your every day rifleman. - Integrated features and accessories: Gas-Vent IV (Barrel), Bipod (Underbarrel), Smartlink-1, Integrated Recoil Compensation 2; Note: The FN-SHAWS, as a Heavy Weapon, suffers from double uncompensated recoil.

The weapon can accept either a 50-round ammunition box or a belt. Source: Cannon Companion, page 26 IWS L325* The IWS L325 was designed as a heavy weapon meant to be used by both military police and paramilitary constabulary forces, as an equalizer for increasingly heavily armed gangs, crime syndicates, and shadowrunners, drawing heavily from the British Army's experiences fighting in the Lambeth Containment Zone (the name, a designation number for British military weaponry, belays its origins as a limitedly accepted weapon among units patrolling the Squeeze). Unlike heavier weapons like the M107 and even the competing MAG-5, the L325 focuses on high mobility, high adaptability and quick action, built with exceedingly light composites and around an incredibly efficient design. The weapon itself has two clip feeds, allowing a soldier to switch from gel to regular rounds in any riot situation, or from regular to AV in prolonged urban combat. Also noticeable is its switchable barrel system, which includes the odd-addition of a suppressor, for many law enforcement organizations who wish to keep operations low-key and noise disturbance to a minimum. While the L325 has had generally positive reviews, it is not without its problems, most experienced operators criticizing the triggerless firing system (added mainly to keep the overly Smartlink-less Lambeth Martyrs from capturing and using the L325 as a 'trophy' weapon), the lack of total compensation from its alternate, gas-vented barrel, and its limited, fifty round clips, which necessitate frequent reloading in prolonged engagements. - Game Notes: The L325, as a Heavy Weapon, suffers from double uncompensated recoil. Its efficient design gives it two points of integral recoil compensation. The barrel is designed as an interchangeable porting system, allowing it to affix either a suppressor or a Gas Vent II (both included). While in combat or other stressful situation, changing the barrels requires a Heavy Weapons B/R (4) test, with a base time of six Combat Turns. The ported barrels may be changed freely outside of combat without a test. The L325 must use one of the two ported barrels, and may not have the barrel mount modified in any other way. The L325 can only use caseless ammunition. Finally, the L325 does not have a manual trigger, requiring a Smartlink to fire.

The launcher comes equipped with Sensors 2, functioning just like vehicles sensors, except that it has a +4 TN malus for detecting objects on the ground. The sensors feed out to a linked wrist unit that is also equipped with a datajack port. The backpack unit requires 10 Combat Turns to put on or take off. Vogeläger missiles are extremely effective against airborne targets, inflicting 14D damage, reduced by -2 per meter.

Source: CC 28 Grenades and Mines + Standard Grenades All standard grenades (with exception of ink and splash grenades) are available as hand grenades and aerodynamic grenades (see SR3 282, CC 40). Both types use different range categories and scatter (1d6 for standard grenades, 2d6 for aerodynamic grenades; see SR3 119). Non-aerodynamic models often offer a booby-trap setting that detonates by electric signal or pressure release. These models are sphere- or cylinder-shaped. Aerodynamic models are rings or disks with superior range capabilities. Aerodynamic grenades use the increased range categories of Aerodynamic Grenades compared to Standard Grenades.

The metal particles increase Signature of anything in the area by +4. The Signature penalty decreases by 1 at the end of each phase after the first. If more than one grenade goes off in an area at different times, only the highest penalty applies. When the grenade goes off, it deals 4L damage in a 1 meter radius.

Consisting of 2 to 8 weights on the ends of cords 50 to 135 cm long, the weapon has been produced in a number of fashions. The cords all join in a center point where a handle in occasionally located. Weights can be made from metal, wood, bone, or pouches filled with stones and cords have been made out of everything from sinew to parachute cord. Bolas were mainly used for hunting but could be used to capture animals unharmed for later domestication or other purposes. In some cases, however, the force of the cinching ropes or spinning weights was enough to break bones. A well placed throw could also crush a windpipe or entangle an animals front legs, tripping it, and breaking its neck. Making a recent resurgence in the lands of the NAN, the bola has now been updated by the Gaeatronics Corporation. Native Americans can now hunt like their forefathers or capture prey unharmed without resorting to traps. A hunter can now seek out his quarry instead of passively waiting for the animal to come to him and his unreliable trap. More useful with larger game too! Gaeatronics has utilized a three weight design and replaced the weights of old with deniplast, the outdated sinew cords with woven plas-fabric polymers. These cords are constructed with the latest technology and are incredibly hard to cut or chew through, ensuring your prey does not escape. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Try the Gaeatronics Tsikenon'waristak (Dragonfly) bola today! Game Notes: Bolas use the Throwing Weapons skill, and are considered non-aerodynamic. They make entangling attacks as described under Whips (pg. 276 SR3). Called shots do not increase the damage level, but, instead, make any resulting damage physical or target a specific location. The barrier rating of the cords is 6. Source: Shadowrun Denver Custom Weapon +info gear custom weapons bola Boomerang * Boomerangs are curved, wooden throwing sticks used for hunting by Aborigines. They are effective, non-lethal throwing weapons commonly used by Aborigine adepts (they are also sometimes used by koradji and others as clapping sticks in rituals and ceremonies). A character that wishes to use a boomerang would use Throwing Weapons skill (characters can also take a Boomerang Specialization). As a general rule, boomerangs used for hunting/combat are not designed to return to the user - they are designed to hit the target. However, a gamemaster can allow a boomerang that has missed its target to return to the thrower on his next Combat Phase. To catch a returning boomerang, the character must spend a Simple Action and succeed in an Athletics (6) Test. An adept with the Missile Parry power reduces that target number to 2. If the character misses, the boomerang scatters 3d6 meters. An adept with the Missile Mastery power can always make a boomerang return, even when it hits the target. Boomerangs use the same ranges as shuriken. Source: Shadowrun Denver Custom Weapon +info gear custom weapons boomerang Caltrop Also known as crow's feet, caltrops consist of a welded group of small spikes designed to lie on a surface with at least one spike facing upwards. Caltrops are most often scattered in handfuls on the ground to deter foot pursuit. When a character throws down caltrops, use the standard grenade ranges and make a Throwing Weapons Test, noting the number of successes. A character crossing an area littered with caltrops must make a Quickness Test equal to the number of caltrops. Apply a +4 TN modifier if the character is unaware of the caltrops' presence and any other modifiers the gamemaster considers appropriate for the size of the area and the density of the coverage. If the character fails the test, they step on a caltrop and suffer the Damage Code listed (based on their own Body). Successes from the attacker's Throwing Weapon Test may be used to stage damage up in the same way as for a thrown grenade, or they may be used to increase the Quickness Test target number by 1 for every 2 succeses.

Source: Cannon Companion, page 14 Net Nets can be used to trap and subdue an opponent. Modern nets are made of durable, lightweight, hard-to-cut hybrid weaves and are weighted around the edges. This is a two handed weapon. The attacker makes a Throwing Weapon Test to use the net, and the defender makes a Dodge Test. If the attacker's successes equal or exceed the half the defender's Quickness (round down), the defender is trapped by the net. For each of his successes, the attacker may add 1 dice to an Open Test to determine the TN for the defender's Strength or Quickness Test to escape. Escaping requires a Complex Action, and each full Combat Turn that passes or friend that aids the escape reduces the TN by 1. Use a Barrier Rating of 6 for cutting through a net.

It consists of a shaft with a handle on one end and a spur or cup on the other, against which the butt of the spear rests. The spear is thrown by the action of the upper arm and wrist in conjunction with a shift of balance of the body. The word atlatl is derived from a Nahuatl (the Aztec language) word for "water thrower," as it was most commonly used for fishing. The Aztecs reinvented the atlatl after the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in their lands and they were used extensively during the resulting war. History shows that the Spanish feared the Aztec atlatl above all other weapons. Many unfortunate Spaniards were surprised to find the power of the weapon could easily penetrate Spanish metal armor, with the dart often passing completely through the unlucky target. Game Notes: The Atlatal adds +2 to the user's Strength rating for the purposes of determining range on a thrown spear. In addition, the spear-thrower enjoys a +2 bonus to the Power rating of his thrown spear. Using an Atlatal to throw a spear is a Complex Action. Source: Shadowrun Denver Custom Weapon +info gear custom weapons atlatal Sling Launcher This oversized slingshot requires two anchoring points and room for a two-meter draw. It can fire anything from grenades to water balloons, and the pouch can hold anything that weighs less than a kilogram. The launcher's range is the same as that of an aerodynamic grenade and its payload scatters the same way. Two characters may serve as anchor points, holding the ends while a third draws. Increase both the target number and the number of dice used to determine scatter by 1. Each character must meet the minimum Strength requirement; use the lowest Strength of the three for range. Source: Cannon Companion, page 13 Slingshot Modern version of the slingshot include a wrist brace that reduces the movement of the arm (the weapon's "recoil") to allow more accurate firing. These can be used to fire small projectiles such as ball bearings or marbles. The slingshot uses the same range as the shuriken. This pesky weapon is favored by snot-nosed brats and adults who are still punks at heart.

The owner's palm print is stored in the system's encrypted firmware. When the weapon is picked up, the reader scans for the correct palm print and only deactivates the safety if the print matches. If the print fails, the safety remains o and the gun may not be fired. The encryption of the embedded system is Rating 8. To change ownership of the weapon, a character must burn a new firmware chip. Blank chips cost 50 nuyen and can be programmed using a computer shop or facility.

This system has two components: a small radio transmitter and the Safe Target system. Worn on a character's person, the transponder features a built-in limited GPS system and constantly transmits its location on a coded radio frequency in the same way as a beacon. The Safe Target accessory is capable for scanning for and determining the relative proximity and location of the beacon by comparing it to its own internal GPS. If the gun is pointed in the approximate direction of the beacon, the Safe Target System engages the gun's safety so that it cannot fire. Once the gun is pointed away from the beacon, the safety is automatically disengaged. Whenever a firearm with a Safe Target System is pointed to within 2 meters of a character wearing a compatible Safe Target Beacon, make a Rating (5) Test. Apply any appropriate modifiers for ECM; the beacon has a Flux rating equal to its rating -1. If the test succeeds, the Safe Target System engages and prevents the weapon from firing until it is pointed away from the two meter radius safety zone. This feature also prevents the wielder from shooting any target behind or in front of the Safe Target beacon. If a Safe Target beacon is within 2 meters of the weapon, the system engages the safety. The system ignores the beacon of the character wielding the equipped weapon. Safe Target Systems can be programmed to work with multiple guns and beacons. The encryption of the Safe Target beacon is equal to half its rating (round down). Once installed, a Safe Target gun modification cannot be removed. If the gun modification and beacon have different ratings, use the lowest. The Safe Target System can be turned on or off with a Simple Action.

They are usually mounted on the buttstock, receiver, or even the sling of a gun and carry between four and eight rounds of ammunition. They allow the shooter quick access to new shells for a tactical reload in a pinch. They can also be used to keep special shells, such as Shock Locks or Stun Shells, ready for use. Side Saddles do not use up a weapon mount and only one can be attached to a single weapon. - Game Effects: The side saddle has no effect on the reload process itself; necessary reload actions remain unaffected and limitations for mixed ammo types apply normally. It simply adds the option to attach some spare ammo to the weapon itself, e.g. for a more convenient accessability or when passing the weapon on to another character. Of course, a side saddle is only usefull for weapons that are not using clips or belts, e.g. weapons with the ammo types of magazine, cylinder or break-action.

(A fully owned subsidiary of Ares Macrotechnology) has introduced the Smart Glove. The Smart Glove system is designed to quickly interface with a weapon's smartlink system, alieviating the need to connect and reconnect a fibre-optic line each time you change weapons. This allows an individual to change weapons with the ease and effort of a cybered user. - The Smart Glove is a large glove that fits the entire hand (right and left hand models are availiable) as well as part of the forearm. Fiber-optic cables run along the arm, shoulder and neck (usually beneath clothing and/or armour) to connect to the appropriate smart optic system (be they sunglasses, goggles, etc). Once the system is in place, the individual can use any smartlinked weapon at will, removing the need for an induction pad or direct fiber-optic link to the weapon itself. - Game Notes: The Smart Glove requires Smartgoggles (or their equivilent). The Smart Glove simply allows you to not have to connect and reconnect the wiring, allowing you to change weapons like you had the induction pad cyberware. Wearing a Smart Glove precludes wearing any other sort of glove (shock gloves, hardliner gloves, etc). You are still limited to -1 TN modifier while using any non-cyber component in a smartlink system, including the use of this glove.

The round breaks open on impact and splashes the target with the liquid. Originally, capsule rounds carried only paint, dye or ink for games and target practice. In the 2060s, the capsule round casing has become stable enough to carry a single dose of nearly any liquid or compound. These rounds use the rules for gel rounds, except that the capsule rounds do not increase the chance for knockdown. If the round carries a chemical or chemical compound, use the rules for exposure and effect. If the target has a Vulnerability to the substance in the capsule, the Damage Level is increased by 1. If the target has a Moderate or Severe allergy, the Damage Level is increased by 2. A target with a Severe allergy also takes 1 box of Physical Damage. The cost for these rounds assumes the capsule is filled with dye or paint or some other non-dangerous substance. For those filled with toxins or other chemical substance, adjust the cost, Avail, and SI as appropriate for that substance.

For attempts to fire through a barrier, use twice the material’s normal Barrier Rating as the target number for the attack; however, the barrier itself takes damage from a successful attack as if it had half its normal Barrier Rating. Explosive rounds will misfire whenever all the dice rolled for the attack test come up 1. When this occurs, the character firing the weapon is immediately subjected to one “attack,” with a Damage Code equal to the normal damage done by the weapon. In this case, the Power Rating does not increase. The character may make a Damage Resistance Test, but may not apply any dice from his Combat Pool. Roll 1D6 to determine the number of successes for the “attack.” Any attack that the affected character is making at the time misses.

For example, a heavy pistol (Damage Code 9M) firing a flechette round would have a Damage Code of 9S against unarmored targets. Against armored targets, flechette rounds fare less well. For the target’s Armor Rating, use either double its Impact Armor Rating or its normal Ballistic Armor Rating, whichever is higher. Double the Barrier Rating of any barriers fired at or through. Also double the value of any vehicle armor.Dermal armor negates the Damage Level increase of flechette ammunition. Guns with flechette ammo already figured into their Damage Code have an (f) notation following the Damage Code. Source: Shadowrun 3rd Edition, page 281 Gel Round Gel rounds are designed to take down a target without seriously damaging it. They are usually semi-rigid slugs that flatten on impact, disbursing their kinetic energy over a larger-than-normal area. Gel rounds have a Power Rating 2 points less than that listed for the weapon’s normal round; they have the same Damage Level, except that all damage is Stun rather than Physical. Impact armor, not Ballistic, applies. Gel rounds also have greater chances of knocking a target character down. For Knockdown Tests involving gel rounds the character must make a Body Test against a target number equal to the Power of the attack. Source: Shadowrun 3rd Edition, page 281 Glazer Round Glazer rounds increase the Power of the weapon by 2. Against unarmored targets, glazer rounds also increase the Damage Level by one. Against armored targets, reduce the weapon's Power by double the target's highest armor rating, either Ballistic or Impact. Against barriers or vehicles, double the rating of the barrier or vehicle armor. Source: Cannon Companion, page 38 Hi-C Plastic Round These round are designed to be undetectable by MADs. Though the rounds are composed of densiplast, the powerful propellant charge contained within the bullets makes them almost as damaging as regular rounds. Hi-C plastic rounds cause Physical damage, but the extra punch doubles the recoil penalty of each round fired. Their lighter weight also makes them less dangerous at extreme distances; reduce the weapon's Power by 1 against long and extreme ranges. Use the target's highest armor rating (Ballistic or Impact) to reduce the Power of the attack. Reduce the TN for detecting Hi-C rounds by -1 per 4 rounds. Source: Cannon Companion, page 38 Hollow Point Round When a hollow point strikes a target, its shape causes the bullet's tip to peel back, expanding its surface area and allowing it to transfer more kinetic energy. - Hollow point rounds increase the Power of a firearm by 1; if the target is unarmored, increase the Power by 3. If the target is armored, add together the character's Ballistic and Impact armor to reduce the Power of the hollow point round. Source: CC 38 Incendiary Round Also called magnesium rounds, incendiary rounds are a deadlier version of tracer rounds (SR3 117). The magnesium coating on these bullets burns as they fly through the air, leaving a visible tracer trail (reduce TN as for Tracer rounds). When the bullet strikes the target, it leaves a trail of smoldering magnesium in whatever it passes through. These bullets can be loaded every thrid round in a clip in the same way as tracer rounds, or they can be used to fill an entire clip. In both cases, they provide the same targeting bonus as tracer rounds. Incendiary rounds add to the Power of burst-fire shots according to standard rules. Incendiary rounds will continue to burn a target after impact. At the end of each Combat Turn, a character who has been struck by incendiary rounds must make a Body Resistance Test against a Power equal to twice the number of incendiary rounds he was shot with and a Damage Level of L. The power of this burning damage is reduced by 2 per Combat Turn; each additional incendiary round that strikes adds 2 to the power level. Armor does not reduce this effect, nor can Combat Pool be used. Incendiary rounds also may set flammable materials on fire, including clothing and gear worn by the target. Use the rules for Fire and Incendiaries, CC 98. Incendiary rounds are inherently unstable and somewhat dangerous to use. Whenever incendiary rounds are used, if more 1s are rolled in the Attack Test than half (round down) the number of dice rolled, a magnesium round bursts inside of the firer's gun. Each consecutive Combat Phase in which incendiary rounds are used counts as an additional automatic die roll result of 1. If an incendiary round bursts, the firing character suffers one point-blank attack with a damage code equal to the base damage of the weapon. Armor reduces this damage, but Combat Pool may not be used. If the character's attack fails, his Combat Phase immediately ends and the weapon is severely damaged and unusable (and may be even on fire).

They otherwise act as Mercury Rounds, Cannon Companion, page 38-39, without the free damage level against unarmored targets: against armored targets, reduce the weapon's Power by double the target's highest armor rating, either Ballistic or Impact. Against barriers or vehicles, double the rating of the barrier or vehicle armor. Source: Custom Denver MUSH Spiritbusters* These rounds are imbued in such a way that they cause elemental damage (metal) with no secondary effect. They are created through a process that few yet understand. They cannot be attacked astrally and do not exist on the astral plane. Highly rare, a separate availability roll must be made for each batch of 10. Available in the following standard weapon classes: Heavy Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun. Spiritbuster shells for shotguns are available in both slug and buckshot varieties. Buckshot spiritbusters benefit from the Flechette and Shot rules. - Spirits shot with these rounds receive only half their normal armour vs the bullets. If the final power does not exceed this number, the spirit is still immune to the weapon. - Example: A Force 10 Elemental will have 20 points of armour vs normal rounds, or 10 armor vs Spiritbusters. A Heavy Pistol will only have a power of 9 and the elemental is still unaffected, while a Rifle with a Power of 14 will penetrate. Spiritbusters are considered elemental(metal) damage. Source: Custom Denver MUSH Subsonic Rounds* Subsonic ammunition is like regular ammunition except it is designed to travel below the speed of sound. This is usually achieved through a deliberately underpowered cartridge and a heavier bullet. Since the bullet fails to exceed the speed of sound, it does not produce the distinctive loud crack that regular ammunition does when breaking the sound barrier. While subsonic ammo is sometimes used by civilians as they require less ear protection, this type of silent cartridge is more popular among commandos, assassins and other clandestine types. Subsonic ammo can be used on its own, but it is designed to be used in combination with a sound suppressor to produce a minimum of noise. However, the slower bullet also has significantly less stopping power and loses trajectory faster than its supersonic counterparts, making it both weaker and more inaccurate at longer ranges. - Game Effects: Subsonic ammo gives a +2 TN to all Perception checks attempting to hear, notice or locate a gunshot. This is cumulative with sound suppressors or silencers (see +hr firearms suppressors). Subsonic ammo loses Power Rating throughout range categories: -1/-1/-2/-3; additionally, a +1/+1/+2/+3 TN modifiers applies in order to represent the bullet's inaccuracy. Source: Custom Denver MUSH Taser Dart A Taser Dart Source: Shadowrun 3rd Edition, page 281 Tracer Round Tracer ammo burns tracers along the line of flight, making it easier to home in on the target. This type of ammunition can only be used in full-auto weapons and are actually loaded as every third round in a clip. This is an exception to the restriction of one type of ammunition to a clip. Non-smartgun users receive an additional –1 target number modifier at all ranges beyond Short, cumulative with every third round fired (–1 after first three, –2 after six, –3 after nine, and so on). When calculating burst damage for three round, multiple round, or short bursts, do not add a bonus to the Power for the tracer round, but do increase the Damage Level accordingly. For example, a submachine gun at 5M firing 10 rounds would have a damage code of 12D, instead of the normal 15D. Source: SR3 280-281, CC 117 Tracker Round, AOD Designed to penetrate and lodge withing a target, tracker rounds contain a tracking signal (either standard or AOD, see SR3 291) so that the target may be tracked using a signal locator. If the target takes damage, the tracking device penetrates the target past the armor. If the target resists the damage, roll 1d6; on a result of 1 or 6, the tracker round lodges in the target's armor. The AOD model only transmits its location when it receives a coded signal from the locator unit, and then only for five seconds, and so is less likely to be discovered through signal interception.

The nature of the shells makes the possibility of damaging the weapon itself very high. - When a round is used, both taser ranges and shotgun spread and choke are applied. Increase the weapon's base Power by 2. Targets that take damage and nearby flammable materials may catch on fire. The Power of the attack is reduced by half (round down) Impact armor. - Each time one of these rounds is fired, roll 1d6. On a roll of 1, the heat and flame from the round severely damage the weapon and warp the barrel, making it unusable until repaired. Repairing the weapon requires the appropriate B/R (5) Skill Test with a base time of 72 hours and a gunsmithing shop. Source: CC 39 Bola Round Bola rounds consist of two slugs connected by a resilient monofilament line. When fired, the bullets spin around each other during flight, and together strike the target with a wider area of impact than standard slugs. When used,bola rounds increase the weapon's Power by 1 and increases the chance of knocking down the target; the target must make its Knockdown Test against the full Power of the weapon. A weapon firing bola rounds uses heavy pistol ranges. Each bola round counts as a single round. Source: CC 39 Flare Round Flare rounds are fired like a bullet, using heavy pistol ranges. At the Extreme Range Limit (60 meters), the rounds explode into a large shower of burning sparks. Typically shot into the air to act as a signal or location marker, flare rounds are rarely used to attack because they inflict only 4M damage against a target (reduced by half impact armor). Targets struck by a flare may catch fire; use the rules for fire-based secondary elemental attacks, but modify the die roll by -2 (Magic in the Shadows, 51-52). Burning targets continue to take damage. Source: CC 39 Shock Lock Round These slugs are composed of ceramic and metal composite that disintegrates upon impact so that bystanders are not injured by bullet fragments. Designed to shatter a door's lock or hinge, the Barrier Rating of a door is reduced by half (round down) against shock lock rounds. Against other targets, treat shock lock rounds as standard explosive rounds. Source: CC 39 Stun Shell Rather than being packed with buckshot, these shells are packed with tiny rubber balls.

Source: CC 44 Generic Rocket, Zapper A specialized weapon intended for use against drones, the Zapper carries an electrically charged dielectric, encased in alternating layers of conductive metal and ceramic insulation. In impact, the warhead acts as a giant capacitor and discharges a massive electrical surge into the drone, causing its circuitry to burn out. This effect also tends to cause a backlash of garbled ASIST signals that can inflict convulsions and fatal strokes or aneurysms in the controlling rigger. - Zappers are considered anti-vehicular, and inflict damage on vehicles and drones. If the Zapper damages the vehicle or drone that is being rigged or remotely controlled, the rigger must make a Willpower Test to resist physical damage. The Power is 4 plus the Rating of the VCR implant. A remote control deck reduces the power by 2.

Unlike smoke grenades, their primary effect is the interference with Signature. When detonated, an area of 10 meter radius is filled with the equivilent of 'Light Mist'. The metal particles increase Signature of anything in the area by +4. The Signature penalty decreases by 1 at the end of each phase after the first. If more than one grenade goes off in an area at different times, only the highest penalty applies. When the grenade goes off, it deals 4L damage in a 1 meter radius. Source: Custom Denver MUSH Mini-Grenade, Concussion Concussion mini-grenades have little fragmentation effect, relying on the blast to stun or injure targets. Source: SR3 282-283, 118 Mini-Grenade, Defensive AP Defensive anti-personnel (AP) mini-grenade which uses flechette rules (SR3 116). Against armored targets, flechette rounds fare less well. For the target’s Armor Rating, use either double its Impact Armor Rating or its normal Ballistic Armor Rating, whichever is higher. Double the Barrier Rating of any barriers fired at or through (see Barriers, p. 124). Also double the value of any vehicle armor (p. 132). Dermal armor negates the Damage Level increase of flechette ammunition.

Defensive grenades have the lowest radius of destruction, allowing the character to use the grenade as he or she presses forward. Source: SR3 282-283, 118 Mini-Grenade, Dual-Charge Dual Charge mini-grenades are basically two grenades in one. Almost any combination can be chosen from the available grenade types listed. For example: white phosphorus/smoke, AP Offensive/splash, and so on. Superflash, incendiary, and flare grenades may not be included in dual charge grenades. - Both parts detonate at the same time. Treat each part as a grenade of its type, but reduce the Power, blast radius, and other effects by half (round down). Source: SR3 282, CC 40-41 Mini-Grenade, Flare Intended as a signal marker, flare mini-grenades do not explode but rather burn with an intensely bright colour for 10 minutes. These flares negate any visibility modifiers for darkness in a 30 meter radius but instead give a +2 glare visibility modifier for anyone looking in their direction (Flare Compensation eliminates this modifier). While these grenades become hot to the touch, they can be held safely and will not ignite any fires. Source: SR3 282, CC 40-41 Mini-Grenade, Flash When detonated, this mini-grenade produces a blinding flash of light effective out to a 30 meter radius.. Anyone looking in the direction of the flash suffers a +6 TN modifier, reduced by 1 for every 5 meters from the point of ignition. Flare compensation reduces this modifier by -2, and the effect is reduced by -2 per full Combat Turn. Flash grenades create a blast zone of 1 meter, inflicting 5L damage. Source: SR3 282, CC 40-41 Mini-Grenade, Incendiary These mini-grenades do not explode, but instead spew flames and burning sparks and generate intense heat. Anything flammable within a 10 metger radius of the point of impact may catch fire, using the standard rules for such but apply a +2 modifier to the roll. - Incendiary grenades will spark and burn for 10 combat turns. The sparks eliminate visibility modifiers for darkness within a 30 meter radius, but instead impose a +2 Glare visibility for anyone looking in that direction (flare compensation will negate this penalty). Anyone who touches or moves within 1 meter of an incendiary grenade suffers 8M damage from heat and flame; reduce the Power by half (round down) Impact Armor. Source: SR3 282, CC 40-41 Mini-Grenade, Ink Ink mini-grenades are intended for underwater use. When they explode they release a cloud of black ink with a 5 meter radius that inflicts a +4 visibility modifier for those caught inside the area (cumulative with other underwater modifiers). Source: SR3 282, CC 40-41 Mini-Grenade, Neuro-Stun VIII Instead of exploding, these mini-grenades release a cloud of stun gas - commonly Neuro-Stun VIII (SR3 250), although they may be filled with other chemicals.

Source: SR3 282-283, 119 Mini-Grenade, Superflash A more powerful version of the standard flash mini-grenade, this device creates a blinding effect that can be seen for up to three kilometers (if the line of sight is not blocked.) This effect will blind and stun any onlookers as follows: anyone facing the blast must resist 12 M Stun damage. Reduce the Power of the flash by -1 per meter from the point of impact. Flare compensation reduces the damage by -2; armor has no effect. - For each box of damage taken, modify by +1 the TN for any test involving vision (including combat). Both the Stun damage boxes taken and the associated +1 modifier fade away at 1 per minute. - The Superflash is so overwhelming that even targets not facing the blast may be affected by the light reflecting off walls and ceiling. Apply the Blast in Confined Spaces rules (p 119, SR3) to determine effect, reducing Power by -1 per meter from the point of impact. - Superflash grenades also create a blast zone of 1 meter, inflicting 5L damage. Source: SR3 282, CC 41 Mini-Grenade, White Phosphorus Packed with white phosphorus, a chemical that burns at very high temperatures when exposed to air, these mini-grenades cover the blast area with a burning chemical that adheres to whatever it touches. The first Damage Code listed represents the initial blast effect. Anyone in that blast radius (15 meters) will be covered with the burning chemical and will continue to take damage at the beginning of each subsequent Combat Turn. - The second Damage Code represents this burning damage. Reduce the Power by half Impact Armor (round down). The white phosphorus burns continuously for 15 Combat Turns. Flammable materials may catch fire, per the Fire and Incendiary rules in SR3, page 98. - White Phosphorus is difficult to extinguish because it reignites whenever exposed to air. If an affected area or target can be completely cut off from air, the chemical's effects end after two Combat Turns.

OOfficially designated as advanced anti-radiation munitions (AARMs), Silencers lock onto the emissions of sensor systems as well as anti-sensor ECM. - Game Effects: AARMs behave according to the standard missile-combat rules with one exception. Rather than using the opposing vehicle's Signature as a target number, calculate the AARM's target number as follows: 12 / highest active Flux rating from the target vehicle's sensors or ECM (round down). The target number cannot drop below 2. Source: Rig 92 Missile, Mitsubishi-GM Outlaw Block I The Mitsubishi-GM Outlaw vehicle missile system represents a radical restructuring of the orginal (now discontinued) Bandit AGM system. The Outlaw features multi-platform capability and can be fired from air, ground, and nautical vehicles. The most significant design change to the Outlaw is the ordnance itself, which comes in three block versions. Block I: It uses improved conventional munitions that disperse micro-bombs when the missile is flying directly over its designated target or impact point. The compound detonations of the bombs do significant damage to all targets within the missile's area of effect. - Game Effect: The Block I is a special high-explosive missile. Instead of inflicting blast damage that diminishes in Power farther from the center of the explosion, it inflicts the same damage code on all targets within a fixed radius. The target and all characters, vehicles and other objects within a 10-meter radius must resist 14D explosive damage. This is not an anti-vehicle attack, so all vehicle stage down the damage by one step per vehicle armor rules (SR3 149).

The Outlaw features multi-platform capability and can be fired from air, ground, and nautical vehicles. The most significant design change to the Outlaw is the ordnance itself, which comes in three block versions. Block II: It improves on the Block I system, using shaped-charge explosives instead of spherical micro-bombs. These charges are oriented downwards by a trailing cloth streamer. The shaped-charged munition give the bombs more penetrating power, making them effective against soft-skinned vehicles and light armor. - Game Effects: Like Block I, but negating vehicle damage reduction. Damage level is not staged down, but vehicles retain their full armor value. This is an exception to the standard rules (SR3 149). Source: Rig 91 Missile, Mitsubishi-GM Outlaw Block III The Mitsubishi-GM Outlaw vehicle missile system represents a radical restructuring of the orginal (now discontinued) Bandit AGM system. The Outlaw features multi-platform capability and can be fired from air, ground, and nautical vehicles. The most significant design change to the Outlaw is the ordnance itself, which comes in three block versions. Block III: An anti-armor missile, designed to attack medium and heavy armor. On acquiring its target, the Block III Outlaw fires its warhead into the vehicle from above to strike where vehicle's armor is generally weakest. The Block III is also capable of direct fire when a target is concealed by overhead cover. - Game Effects: Behaves as a standard anti-vehicle missile and does 20D damage to the target alone. As per rules for AV ammunition, damage against vehicles is not staged down and armor rating is halfed. Source: Rig 91 Missile, MK 197 MADCAP The Mark 197 Multi-role Advanced-Capability (MADCAP) torpedo is the most widely used torpedo in the world in 2061. Capable of traveling at speeds up to 75 knots, standard models contain an active sonar seeker warhead. However, the MADCAP can also accomodate passive sonar or themal homing heads. In addition to the standard submarine and surface ship launch methods, MADCAPs can also be dropped like bombs from anti-submarine helicopters, t-birds or other aircraft. - Game Effects: The torpedo activates from the point it splashes in the water, so its range to the target is measured from that splash point. MADCAPs have a Sonar rating of 1 for calculating the range of active sonar effects. - MADCAPS are wire-guided weapons, so a rigger on a submarine can control them as long as the cable is not severed. Once the cable is severed, the MADCAP's intelligence rating kicks in. MADCAPS dropped from air vehicles have no wire connection. Source: Rig 93 Missile, RUR-15D ASROC The ASROC is a surface anti-submarine weapon, consisting of a MADCAP strapped onto a rocket motor. The rocket launches the torpedo through the air anywhere between 4 to 16 kilometers. Once the weapon is within the vicinity of its target's location, the torpedo sepparates from the rocket body, dives into the water and homes in on its target. - Game Effects: The aerial component of the ASROC is an unguided rocket; so while the missile is in flight, its intelligence rating does not apply. Similarly, ASROC's cannot be controlled or ridden by a rigger after being launched from a ship. The ASROC range for the unguided 16km flight is 2500/6000/10000/16000. The torpedo then travels with MADCAP ranges: 2500/6000/10000/15000 Source: Rig 92 Missile, Saab-Saaker AIM-11R Air-to-Air Missile The latest in Saab-Saaker's AIM-11 series of air-to-air missiles, the AIM-11R is a short-range air interceptor weapon designed to be used with air-superiority fighters such as the Federated Boeing Eagle or the dozens of Eurofighter variants in existence around the world. - Game Effects: The Saab-Saaker AIM-11R may be mounted only on aircraft. When fired against ground targets, the attacker receives a +4 modifier to his Gunnery test and the missile only inflicts 8D damage. Source: Rig 91 Missile, SS-N-49 SIROCCO The Russian Sirocco is an anti-ship missile sold widely throughout the world. Though the design is well over 15 years old (2061), it follows in the footsteps of its effective and fearsome SOviet/Russion predecessors. It follows all standard anti-ship missile rules. Source: Rig 93 Missile, Torpedo Decoy A torpedo decoy consists of a torpedo body containing a sophisticated sound system instead of an explosive warhead. When launched from a torpedo tube, the decoy generates noise imitating a submarine in motion, misleading enemy torpedoes into striking it. - Game Effects: Whenever a decoy is deployed, any torpedo targeted toward the submarine must make an Intelligence (6) test. If the test succeeds, the torpedo is not fooled by the decoy and still pursues the sub. If the test fails, the torpedo is fooled and targets the decoy instead of the sub. The torpedo decoy has a maximum depth of 750 meters. Source: Rig 93 Missile, Torpedo Probe The torpedo probe uses the same body as the MADCAP, but it carries a sophisticated sonar array in place of the MADCAP's explosive warhead. If the probe detects other subs, it transmits information back to the main vessel via an optical cable link. The submarine can then use that information to set up a firing solution against the other vessel. - Game Effects: The torpedo probe trails an optical cable that allows it to travel a maximum journey of 3 km (for a total recon time of 20 Combat Turns, or about 1 minute). The probe can also be controlled remotely by a rigger, extending its range to the full 15 kilometers. The torpedo probe has a maximum depth of 750 meters. It has a sonar rating of 4. Source: Rig 93 Missile, UGM-188 Sea Saber This missile is the North American counterpart of the Sirocco. Produced originally for the UCAS Navy, it is also commonly used by the Confederate Navy and the British Royal Navy. Allthough the Sea Saber has a shorter range than the Sirocco, it compensates with speed, smarts, and a bigger punch. The Sea Saber follows all standard anti-ship missile rules. Source: Rig 93 Missile, UIM-199 Kingfisher Aircraft equipped with dipping sonar present a significant threat to submarines. To counter this threat, the Kingfisher allows an underwater sub to destroy any airborne threat without the danger of surfacing. Capable of being fired from either a standard torpedo tube or a vertical launch system tube, the missile rises to the surface and then launches into the air. - Game Effects: To launch a UAM, a submarine must be submerged at a depth of 50 meters or less. Range for the Kingfisher is measured from the point where the Kingfisher surfaces. A Kingfisher stored in an unternal missile mount (Rig 137) or torpedo tube (Rig 139) takes up less space than a standard anti-ship missile. Two Kingfisher missiles may be stored in a single vertical launch system tube. Source: Rig 91 Piranha guided, Armor-Piercing Underwater ammunition. Damage causes hydrostatic shock (CC 112).

ANDREWS uses a particle beam to discharge megavolts of electron charges at the incoming missile. If ANDREWS scores a hit. the discharge either fries the missile's control circuits, causing the misslle to fall off target or to detonate in mid-flight. Either way, the ship is safe. ANDREWS may also be used to attack aircraft and surface ships. Due to its massive power requirements, it may be installed only on ships powered by nuclear power plants. Game Effects: The ANDREWS system operates in a similar manner to laser weapons such as the Ares Firelance vehicle laser. Reduce its Power by 2 at Medium range. 4 at Long range and 6 at Extreme range. ANDREWS is considered an anti-vehicle weapon. so vehicles do not automatically stage down the Damage Level and use only half their Armor ratings, rounded down, to reduce the weapon's Power. The Ammo rating for ANDREWS lists the number of shots it can lire before recharging. It takes 10 minutes to recharge the weapon fully. However, if the weapon is inactive between uses. It can recharge shots in the interim, at a rate of 1 shot per 4 Combat Turns. The weapon must remain InactIve for 4 consecutive, full turns to recharge. If fired before four turns have elapsed, the recharging time is lost. If a rigger is jacked into or directly controlling a vehicle or missile when it is struck by an ANDREWS particle beam, she takes physical damage from the ASIST backlash surge. The Power of the attack is 4 plus the rating of the rigger's VCR implant, and the Damage level Is D. The ANDREWS particle beam may also be used to attack surface ships as well as aircraft and missiles. The system must be installed in a medium or higher level remote turret. Only vehicles with nuclear power plants may carry ANDREWS. Source: Rigger 3, page 86/88/90 Ares Firelance Laser The first viable laser system developed for vehicles, the Firelance was designed for use against low-flying aircraft and lightly armored vehicles. However it has proved an exceptionally effective weapons against personnel as well. Game Effects: The Firelance's Power decreases over distance in the same manner as the Power of portable lasers decreases. Reduce the laser's Power by 2 for each range bracket beyond Short (hence 13S at Medium, 11S at Long and 9S at Extreme range). Ballistic armor has no effect against the Firelance: Impact armor reduces the Power by only half its value (round down). The Firelance is not an anti-vehicle weapon, and so is subject to the damage reduction rule for vehicles. Laser weapons do not generate recoil. Smoke and fog reduce the Firelance's effectiveness. Reduce the weapon's Power by 1 for every 4 meters of smoke or fog the beam passes through. The Firelance features a built-in battery that provides enough juice for 40 shots. This battery may be recharged at a rate of 1 shot every three hours. A Firelance may not draw power from a vehicle battery. Source: Rigger 3, page 88/90 Ares Vanquisher Minigun The Vanquisher series of miniguns are the heavier cousins of the popular Vindicator minigun and use the Vindicator's rotating-barrel design. The CAS army recently chose to equip its Avenger VII motorized air-defense vehicle with Vanquishers. Game Effects: Like the Vindicator, both the Vanquisher require 3 seconds ( 1 Combat Turn) of start-up time to get the barrels rotating at firing speed. The Vanquisher have a fixed rate of fire of 15 rounds per Complex Action. The Vanquisher follow the double-unmodified recoil rules for heavy weapons, but mounting the miniguns on a vehicle hardpoint cancels out the special recoil modifier. Vanquisher miniguns can make use of gyroscopic stabilization, but they cannot accept gas-vent recoil compensation. Likewise, they can accept top-mounted weapon accessories but they cannot carry barrel or under-barrel weapon accessories. Vanquisher miniguns can be mounted on vehicle weapon mounts, but they cannot be mounted on ordinary bipods or tripods. Because of their mass and punishing recoil, Vanquisher are not man-portable. The Vanquisher are not anti-vehicle weapons, so they are subject to the damage reduction rules for vehicles. The Vanquisher is considered a HMG for range and ammo purposes.

Game Effects: The Vaporizer's capacitors take 1 full Combat Turn to recharge, so the Vaporizer can be fired only once every other Combat Turn at most. Like other railguns, the Vaporizer's Capacitors are good for 20 shots and can be recharged at a rate of 1 shot per 2 hours. Railguns may not draw power from a vehicle's battery, as they use different voltage levels. Each CF of ammunition storage hold 20 Vaporizer Slugs. Source: Rigger 3, page 89/90 Ares Vengeance Minigun The Vengeance series of miniguns are the heavier cousins of the popular Vindicator minigun and use the Vindicator's rotating-barrel design. Game Effects: Like the Vindicator, both the Vengeance require 3 seconds ( 1 Combat Turn) of start-up time to get the barrels rotating at firing speed. The Vengeance have a fixed rate of fire of 15 rounds per Complex Action. The Vengeance follow the double-unmodified recoil rules for heavy weapons, but mounting the miniguns on a vehicle hardpoint cancels out the special recoil modifier. Vengeance miniguns can make use of gyroscopic stabilization, but they cannot accept gas-vent recoil compensation. Likewise, they can accept top-mounted weapon accessories but they cannot carry barrel or under-barrel weapon accessories. Vengeance miniguns can be mounted on vehicle weapon mounts, but they cannot be mounted on ordinary bipods or tripods. Because of their mass and punishing recoil, Vengeance are not man-portable.

Source: Shadowrun 3rd Edition, page 312 Ares Victory Autocannon The Victory autocannons are vehicle-mounted, autofire versions of the standard single-shot assault cannons. These extremely popular heavy-suppression weapons commonly are mounted on all but the lightest armored personnel carriers (APCs) and infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). Game Effects: The Victory are capable of firing in singleshot (SS) and fully automatic (FA) modes. When firing in fullautomatic mode, the cannons fire a minimum burst of 6 rounds and have a maximum rate of fire of 12 rounds per phase. The Victory autocannons can be mounted only on fixed hardpoints or turrets. Because they are heavy weapons, they both negate the half-recoil modifier for hardpoints. Victory autocannons can accept vehicle weapons accessories but no other weapon accessories. The Victory are no man-portable weapons. If the Victory are loaded with standard assault cannon ammunition, they are not anti-vehicle weapons and are subject to the damage reduction rule for vehicles. If loaded with AV assault cannon rounds they are considered anti-vehicle.

This medium railgun uses highcapacity capacitors and multiple electromagnets to acccelerate a ferrous slug to extreme velocities. This slug inflicts terrific damage through sheer kinetic energy. The sound of a railgun firing is quite distinctive, causing a deafening whip crack as the hypervelocity slug exits the barrel. Game Effects: The Relámpago's capacitors take a full Combat Turn to recharge, so the weapon can be flred only once every other Combat Turn at most. The Relámpago'S capacitors are good for 20 shots and can be recharged from an alternator at a rate of 1 shot per hour. Railguns may not draw power from a vehicle's battery. Each CF of ammunition storage holds 40 Relámpago slugs. Source: Rigger 3, page 89/90 Aztechnology Xicohencatl Light Railgun The Xicohencatl ("angered bumblebee") is Aztlan's primary light railgun, mounted on border patrol vehicles to provide a powerful punch against interlopers. The main drawback to this raillgun is its energy consumption. Game Effects: The Xicohencatl's capacitors require a full Combat Turn to recharge, so the Xicohencatl can only be fired once every other Combat Turn at most. Like other railguns, the Xicohencatl features a built-in capacitor. The Capacitor is good for 20 shots and may be recharged from an alternator at a rate of 2 shots per hour. Railguns may not draw power from a vehicle's battery. Each CF or ammunition storage holds 50 slugs.

Ostensibly to protect against hostile Awakened sea creatures. (That they also happen to be effective against diving shadowrunners and scuba-pirates Is just a coincidence.) Fabrique-Nationale developed its Piranha torpedo system in response to this demand. Ordinary torpedoes are relatively slow, have long arming ranges, and, at over 300,000 nuyen a pop, are not cost-effective against small targets. FN's torpedo design incorporates the technology of its FN-AAL gyrojet weapons system and uses the same water-combustive alkaline fuel as propellant. This makes the Piranha significantly faster than standard torpedoes, and its enlarged warhead is effective against even the largest Awakened sea creatures. While the range reduction limits its usefulness in naval combat. It is still adequate enough for point defense against smaller organic targets. The Piranha has three available warheads: armor piercing (AP), high explosive (HE) and ink-dispensing. Piranha torpedoes may be guided or unguided. Game Effects: The Piranha follows the standard rules for missile launchers and missile combat. It can be used only against underwater targets. Damage codes for the high explosive and armorpiercing warheads are subject to the effects of hydrostatic shock. The ink-dispensing warhead creates a 25-meter radius ink cloud that adds a +4 visibility modifier (in addition to normal underwater vision modifiers). Piranha missiles and rockets are not antivehicle weapons, so they are subject to the damage reduction rule for vehicles. The Piranha is a specialized launcher and cannot fire generic missiles, rockets or torpedoes. Piranhia launchers use medium launch control systems and internal missile mounts, which 1 must be purchased in addition to the system. Source: Rigger 3, page 88-89/90 Harpoon Gun The ship-mounted version of a spear gun, the harpoon gun fires long bolts mounted with sharpened blades or explosive heads. Ropes, cords or cables connected to harpoons limits their range. Game Effects: If a character is struck by a harpoonm use his impact armor to reduce the weapon's Power. Harpoon guns are not antivehicle weapons, and so are subject to the damage reduction rule for vehicles. A harpoon can fly a range equal to or less than the length of its tether. If the target is farther than the tether length, the harpoon automatically misses. Connecting or disconnecting a tether from a harpoon is a Complex Action.

It is used almost entirely as an indirect fire weapon. Heavy Mortars have a Weapon Value of 4. Each CF of ammo storage holds 20 shells. This weapon may fire at a maximum rate of 1 round per Combat Turn, regardless of the number of actions available to the shooter. This weapon has a Scatter of 3d6 x 5 meters Source: State of the Art 2063, page 73 Light Howitzer The lightest of artillery cannons, with a round ranging from 90 to 110 millimeters. They are used exclusively for indirect fire, but their low arc of fire gives them better range than mortars. Light Howitzers have a Weapon Value of 6. Each CF of ammo storage holds 10 shells, and at least 2 CF must be dedicated to ammo storage. This weapon has a Scatter of 3d6 x 10 meters Source: State of the Art, page 73 Light Naval Gun Though anti-ship missiles dominate most naval battles, ordinary naval guns and cannons still see extensive service in the 206Os. Usually they are used as backup weapons against targets too small or too insignificant to engage with antiship missiles. Naval guns and cannons can be used against ships as well, but their short ranges preclude their use against enemies armed with anti-ship missiles. Thanks to advances in automation and electronic-control technology, modern naval guns are remotely operated and possess autoloaders. This has eliminated the need for crews and allowed the design of smaller and lighter gun turrets. Light naval guns are also capable of limited semi-automatic fire. Naval guns currently exist in two sizes: small and medium. Small naval guns are normally mounted on frigates, corvettes and some of the heavier coastal patrol craft. Game Effects: Light naval guns take up seven weapon slots. Each CF of ammunition storage holds either 25 light naval gun shells. At least 2 CF of ammunition storage must be dedicated. Naval guns fire high-explosive shells that cause naval damage.

Source: Rigger 3, page 88/90 Water Cannon A high-pressure projector, the water cannon always fires in autofire mode (10 shots per action) and suffers no recoil penalty. Any hit requires the target to make a Knockdown Test at a target number equal to the weapon’s full power. If the weapon’s pump is connected to a water source, the weapon does not need to reload. Range and choke characteristics are listed as Shotgun. Firemode is SA with regard to combat rules, even though it is considered to fire constantly in full-auto-mode. Source: SR3 307, 312
