| Key: | |
| type | Usually pistol, rifle, SGN (shotgun), SMG (submachine gun), MG (machine gun) ... besides helping to identify the weapon, this is used in the range mod calculations. |
|---|---|
| name | Name of weapon |
| Str | The Strength Minimum. In our latest versions, a listing with an asterisk (as in "Str 10*") refers to a weapon where the recoil Strength Minimum is the larger number; for other weapons (without the asterisk) it's the suspension Strength Minimum that's larger. |
| OCV | The OCV bonus. Remember, for most handheld 'real' weapons, you don't get this bonus when firing full auto. Values of 0 and +1 cover 99% of the world's firearms; there are a few -1s and +2s. |
| RMod | The Range Modifier, in game inches (2 meter hexes, that is). |
| sights | Type of sights on the weapon. |
| ROF | The rate of fire, in "shots per character phase" |
| capacity | If multiple values are given, the first one is the one used to figure the mass of the weapon. |
| bbl | The aforementioned barrel length, in centimeters. Note there are a lot of technical differences in how various kinds of firearms measure their barrel length. Let's leave it at that for now. |
| mass | The mass of the weapon. Loaded, I think; I would have to take a look at the research materials. This is used in recoil calculations, etc. |
| action | The kind of mechanism involved |
| Sp | The Speed class of the attack (compared to the Speed class of the target's armor) |
| Pc | The Piercing value of the attack (normally subtracted from the target's defenses) |
| damage | What it says. Multiple damage groups are usually notated "4x1d6" or something like that |
| Stun | The Stun modifier |
| ammunition | The type of ammo used; specifically, the type of ammo for which the Strength Minimum, Speed, Piercing, Damage, and Stun are calculated. |
| size | The Size value of the weapon, for use with the Concealment rules. |
