Typically. the gun is placed along the forearm bone and fires through a port at the base of the palm. All cyberguns have an internal magazine ammunition load and can be reloaded through a slot in the arm. An external clip port can also be installed, though it makes the presence of the gun quite obvious. Cyberguns can be equipped with a smartlink, a laser sight or even a silencer or sound suppresser. The number before the slash under Ammo is the weapon's built-in ammo capacity; the number after the slash is for external clips. The Concealability listed represents how hidden the weapon is inside a natural arm. The weapon is obvious when it is being fired or when using an external clip.

Melee Cyberfins Essence Conceal Ammo Mode Damage Cost Avail SI Legality 0.30 (Str - 1)L 10,500 5/48 h 1.25 3P-N Desc Cyberfins consist of retractable spurs and webbing implanted in the hands and feet. When extended, they allow the user to swim as if using ordinary swim fins. Characters using cyberfins can swim at half their normal walking or running rate. In addition, the wearer can use cyberfins to attack (treat as hand razors with - 1 Power). Cyberfins are not compatible with standard swim fins or any type of gloves. Fangs Type Essence Conceal Ammo Mode Damage Cost Avail SI Legality Fixed 0.10 5 (Strength+1)L 5,000 4/48 h 1 Legal Extendable 0.15 9 (Strength+1)L 8,000 5/48 h 1 5P-N Desc Enlarged canines, anchored for support and sharpened for penetration, are available in standard or extendable models.

Foot Anchor Essence Conceal Ammo Mode Damage Cost Avail SI Legality 0.40 (Str-1)M 14,000 6/7 d 2 Legal Desc This retractable, spring-loaded, heavy-duty spur shoots down through the heel of the foot, anchoring the user to the ground or impaling a target. Primarily intended for use in cyberfeet, when installed in ordinary feet they require extensive ankle and shin bracing so that the bones don't snap off near the blade when pressure is applied. The foot anchor cannot penetrate materials with a Barrier Rating higher than 10 (most pavement has a Barrier Rating 8). Each foot anchored increases the amount of weight a character can hold up or hang on to by a maximum of 50 kilograms. If the foot anchor is set into a material with a Barrier Rating of less than 10, each Barrier Rating point below 10 reduces the amount of weight by 5 kilograms. As a weapon, the foot anchor inflicts (STR - 1)M damage. With a foot anchor extended for use as a weapon, the user's movement rate is reduced to half their Quickness (round down), and they modifY the Dodge Test by + 1 . Anchored users receive 1 point of Recoil Reduction per foot anchor, and their target number to resist Knockdown is reduced by 1 per anchor. Only one anchor can be installed in a foot.

Horns are usually installed in the skull, but some users implant rows of horns to form a "bone crest" along the head, neck and/or back. All horn implants are structurally braced for use in combat. Retractable "telescoping" models are also available to give users the advantage of surprise. Horn attacks suffer a -1 Reach penalty. Each two minor horns (similar to those of a goat) count as one implant, as do single larger horns (such as those of a rhinoceros or ram).

Treat the cyber dartgun as a light pistol. The darts can be loaded with one dose of a compound. Resolve attacks with this weapon using the standard ranged combat rules. See Drug Effects. p. 105, for determining the effect of the injected drug. Cyber Taser Essence Conceal Ammo Mode Damage Cost Avail SI Legality 0.30 10 2 SA 10S Stun 2,000 6/4 d 1.5 5P-Q Desc Designed to be implanted in a cyberarm/hand, this weapon is also commonly implanted in the base of the palm on natural hands. It operates in the same way as a standard taser pistol, firing standard taser darts connected through 15-meter wires to a capacitor implanted in the palm. The cyber taser does lOS damage, but it can fire only two shots. After two shots, it must be "reloaded" by installing new darts and wires. The battery must be recharged after ten uses. The cyber taser has the same range as the standard taser. Cyber tasers can be equipped with a smartlink or with the laser sight described under cyberguns, but they cannot have any other accessories. Cyber Squirt Essence Conceal Ammo Mode Damage Cost Avail SI Legality 0.40 8 10/10(c) SA Special 1,400 8/6 d 2 5P-Q Desc The cybersquirt is an implant version of the popular, nonlethal Ares SuperSquirt II. This weapon uses two reservoirs. one holding DMSO gel and the other holding the chemical of choice. When fired. the DMSO and the chemical are mixed and sprayed at the target via silent and recoilless compressed air. The DMSO essentially forces the skin of the target to absorb the delivered chemical/biological agent. Armor offers little protection from this weapon, as the spray quickly soaks through and reaches the skin. The cybersquirt is mounted along the forearm. with a spray nozzle port in the base of the palm. External reservoir clip ports may also be installed (one each for the gel and chemical). The cybersquirt holds 10 chemical rounds and the gel reservoir holds enough gel for up to 10 shots. Porous armor, such as armor clothing and Kevlar weaves, offers no protection against DMSO. For characters wearing such armor, reduce the Power of the chemical by half the target's Impact Armor Rating (round up). Only individuals in fully sealed rigid armor or wearing suits specifically designed to protect against chemical/biological agents are immune to the penetrating effects of DMSO. The compressed CO2 canister that forcibly ejects the spray must be replaced or recharged every 50 shots, at a cost of 50 nuyen. Each time the cybersquirt takes Stress, roll 1 D6. On a result of 1 or 6, the reservoirs begin to leak. The owner suffers the effects of the chemical per the rules in Chemistry, p. 101. Cybersquirts can be equipped with a smartlink or with the laser sight described under cyberguns, but they cannot have any other accessories. The cybersquirt has the same firing range as light pistols. Eye Dart Essence Conceal Ammo Mode Damage Cost Avail SI Legality 0.25 10 1 SS Special 4,200 8/14 d 2 7P-Q Desc A single ammo load sits in the eye and is fired through a hole running parallel to the optical axis. When the weapon fires, a sheer covering tears away and reveals the barrel. The eye dart fires narcoject or toxin rounds. Eye weapons have at least two disadvantages. Using them tends to leave you partially blind for a short time and inflicts a nasty recoil shock. Eye weapons must be installed in cybereyes. Each eye can hold only one weapon. Each weapon holds only one shot; reloading requires a Biotech (6) Test with a base time of 10 Combat Turns. Firing an eye weapon requires the Active Skill Eye Gun, which is linked to Quickness. Eye weapons cannot be used with any aim enhancers or accessories including smartlinks. Each shot fired causes 1 point of Stress to the cybereye. This weapon fires half-Power (round up) narcoject/toxin rounds in the same way as a hold-out pistol, with one-half range (round down). After firing, a character must apply a +2 modifier to all visual tests for a period of (4 - unaugmented Body) Combat Turns (minimum 1 Combat Turn). Eye ammo rounds cost four times the normal price.

The weapon stores a few rounds of ammo, and has a safety that keeps it from firing unless the user's mouth is open. Firing this weapons requires the Active Skill Oral Gun, which is linked to Quickness. No aim enhancers or other accessories can be used. The gamemaster may impose penalties on characters equipped with oral darts when such characters make Perception Tests using their innate sense of smell, because such cyberware may interfere with the normal functions of the sinuses. This weapon fires narcoject/toxin rounds at the same ranges as hold-out pistols. Reloading requires a Biotech (4) Test and a base time of 10 Combat Turns. Double the cost of ammo for this weapon.
