FIREARMS FROM
STEAMROLLER’S
STOCKPILING SHOP
Below is a spread of weapons as can be seen on the
racks of the Dwarf Barin Steamroller’s fabled weap-
ons-shop in Nuln – “Steamroller’s Stockpiling Shop”.
SAWN-OFF RIFLE
The Sawn-off Rifle is especially favoured by the young
and reckless Noble youth and of course by Duellists.
It is not a very reliable weapon, and is prone to mis-
fires, but it is ideal to close encounters and the danger
in the usage of it, only increases its popularity amongst
the above mentioned groups.
A sawn-off Rifle is basically an Arquebus, which has
had some of its barrel sawn off.
A Sawn-off Rifle will misfire on all natural doubles.
Add a +20 modifier to any roll on the Advanced Mis-
fire Table.
SCHMEID & WEISSNER NO.2
“GIANT STOPPER”
The “Giant Stopper'' is a huge gun in terms in size,
but its stopping power derives from its very powerful
and broad built, rather than its length.
Another special feature, is the two barrels. The “Giant
Stopper” is an unusually stable weapon, although it
has some recoil.
• A Strength of at least 5 is required to fire this gun
without being affected by the recoil. If this is not
the case, the user must take a Strength Test or be
thrown to the ground.
• The “Giant Stopper” is a very solid gun, but due
to the stopping power built into the gun, it is worn
down relatively fast. Therefore it misfires on all
natural doubles as normally.

STEAMROLLER SPECIAL
The Steamroller Special is an extremely large pistol
(some 16 inches long), which looks like a cross be-
tween a large rifle, a swivelgun and a pistol.
The Steamroller Special is very fine Dwarven crafts-
manship, and therefore only misfires on 96-00.
However, the gun uses a special blend of gunpowder
and firearms balls which is a trade secret of Barin
Steamroller, and thus can only be purchased at his
store. If the user decides to use common gunpow-
der and firearm balls he will unsettle the fine bal-
ance of the weapon, and it will begin to misfire on
all natural doubles.
In order to fire this gun, the user must have certain
qualifications:
• The user must have dealt with firearms for a
longer period of time, minimum 1 year. If this is
not the case, the user will receive a -35 modifier to
Ballistic Skill.
• You must have a Strength of at least 6, or be forced
to take a Initiative + Strength / 2 Test
If this is not successful, the recoil will throw the
character of his feet. But even if you does not
make a successful Test, it is still possible to hit the
target.
The amount that the firerer does not make his
Test by, is deducted from his Ballistic Skill. If the
result indicates that he still hits his victim, then
that is so.
THE STEAMROLLER BLASTER
The Steamroller Blaster is a very special rifle, at pre-
sent there exists only 12 of these in the whole World.
It resembles a very powerfully built arquebus, only
being far longer than the arquebus. Imperial Oak is
used to ensure a sturdy and resistant wooden base, and
a special Gromril alloy has been used in the design, to
make the Blaster as resistant to wear as possible.
It is manufactured by Barin “The Rock” Steamroller,
 www.warhammerforever.com

the Dwarven weapons smith extraordinaire of Nuln.
It is a very powerful and precise weapon, capable of
inflicting large amounts of damage even at great
ranges.
The Steamroller Blaster' costs an incredible 7000 Gold
Crowns, due to the materials and craftsmanship used
in the manufacture and the fact that only one person
knows how to manufacture it, although many poor
copies have been made.
Also, due to special arrangements with the Imperial
Secret Police, every order made for one of these rifles
must be approved by the ISP – non-approved buyers
have a tendency to disappear.
Furthermore, the device gives a +10 bonus to Bal-
listic Skill and it can also be used in broad daylight.
• Along with the weapon, the customer also get The
Steamroller Silencer, yet another ingenious magical
device invented by Barin. It comprises of another
metal pipe, approximately 12 inches long and with
a diameter of approximately 1.7 inches. It reduces
the thunderous roar from the weapon by 75%,
thereby making it a Soft Noise, (see WFRP,p70).

The Steamroller Special is very fine Dwarven crafts-

manship, and therefore only misfires on 96-00.
However, the gun uses a special blend of gunpowder
and firearms balls which is a trade secret of Barin
Steamroller, and thus can only be purchased at his
store. If the user decides to use common gunpowder
and firearm balls he will unsettle the fine balance of
the weapon, and it will begin to misfire on all natural
doubles.

It has the following specifications:

• In order to fire it without the bipod, one must

have a Strength of at least 4 and utilize the strap
mounted on the weapon, as it is very heavy.
If the user does not use the strap, a Strength of at
least 8 is necessary, or -45 modifier to Ballistic
Skill will be induced.
• If carried unassembeled, it will take 4+D3 rounds
to assemble it fully. In order to do this in such a
short period of time, one must have been using it
for more than one year.
If this is not the case, it will take 4+D4 turns to as-
semble it. And there will be an increased chance of
it misfiring, as it misfire on all natural doubles.
Normally it will only misfire on even doubles.
• Persons trying to fire the weapon, without any
training or knowledge about the way if works, will
receive a -50 modifier to their Ballistic Skill.
• Mounted on the weapon, is a very unique magical
device, The Steamroller Targeter. It is a long metal
pipe, approximately 1.7 inches in diameter, sport-
ing a very complex system of magical lenses, giv-
ing the user total Night Vision while looking
through the device.
