Concealability: +2
Ammo Loading

Frames:

The Method of loading ammunition in the gun can be

altered. This replaces the original method so the points for
that load are returned, except in case of belt loading, which is
in addition to the base ammo load.
Changing to break action reduces your ammo capacity to
1; changing to cylinder, clip or magazine reduces ammo
capacity to 4. These reductions can be offset (see Improved
Ammo Capacity)

Ceramic Components
By making the gun mostly or entirely out of nonmetallic
parts, the gunsmith can reduce the risk of detection by
magnetic systems.
Increase the Concealability rating of firearms with ceramic
components by +2 per level when attempting to avoid
detection by MAD systems. The maximum level available is
3. At level 3, the gun is composed entirely of ceramic and is
undetectable by MAD systems.

Barrel Extension/Reduction
Though there is a point at which the gain becomes
minimal, extending a gun's barrel can add to its effective
range.
Increase the ranges of such modified firearms by 10
percent. Shortening the barrel reduces ranges by 10 percent,
but makes the gun easier to hide. Shothuns with a shortened
barrel cannot have their choke set above 6.

Easy Breakdown

Firing Mode

Assault Rifle

A different trigger grouping will change the basic rate of fire

listed in the firearms template, effectivly changing the modes
in which the firearm can be used. The options are as follows:
SS, SA, BF, FA, SA/BF, BF/FA and SA/BF/FA.
Each mode is purchased individually, even when
combined with other modes. If a combination is purchased
that includes the previous mode, the previous mode does not
need to be purchased. If the previous mode is dropped, the
points for it are returned. For example, a submachine gun
(base SA/BF) that is switched to BF/FA must pay the cost for
FA, but the points for SA mode are returned.

High-Velocity Capability
This super machine gun is capable of firing at an
extremely high rate. In burst mode, it fires 6-round burts
instead of standard 3-round bursts. These bursts suffer recoil
for each bullet like standard bursts; a single burst incurs a
Recoil Modifier of +6, a second burst in the same Combat
Phase would suffer +12.
HV-capable firearms have a maximum autofire rate of up
to 18 rounds per Combat Phase, but cannot accept barrel
mounts. A firearm must be capable of full auto fire to have
this option.
This option is often combined with the recoil compensation
option to help reduce the high recoil generated by a 6-round
burst.

Increased Calibre

Machine Pistol

By replacing the standard calibre of the firearm, with a

The Downside is lower concealability, higher weight and
more recoil.
A firearm with an Increased Calibre design option have
one Higher Damage Level. It also gets a +2 recoil modifier.

Metahuman Design

Assault Rifle

Some guns are designed especially for the small hands of

dwarf metatypes or the larger hands of troll metatypes. This
makes the firearm more comfortable to use for the dwarf or
troll, but more difficult for other metahumans. Members of
any other metahuman race attempting to use a dwarf- or trollmodified gun suffer a +2 modifier when using the weapon. A
dwarf attempting to use a troll-modified weapon suffers a +4
modifier, and vice versa.

Selectable Clip
By including two places for clips and a selector switch, the
gunsmith can allow for the use of two different types of
ammunition. The firearm can fire only one clip at a time, and
it takes a Simple Action to select the other clip, or a Free
Action if the gun is smartlinked. Only firearms with clip-type
ammo load can use this option.
