Ok, since noone else is game... I'll take a crack at the Annihilator 2000.

Note:  This is intended as humor, but I'll try to make the stats so that
they actually work.  Use on your PCs!  Have them go visit their friendly
neighborhood arms dealer, let him be out of stock of everything except
these, and have him sell the A2000's to the PCs.  Then stand back and watch
the fun begin when they actually try to use them.  Remember, the arms
dealer's name is Serge (pronounced se-air-ju or Surge).

  Model: Annihilator 2000
  Type: Fashion Assault Weapon
  Scale: character
  Skill: blasters: fashion blasters
  Ammo: 20 (blaster weapon), 5 (concussion grenade launcher), 2 (pantyhose
launcher), 40 "shots" (bursts) (repeating slugthrower (vulkan cannon))
  Cost: 15,000 (but can be sold at a humungous discount if they tell all
their friends about the store, discount price: 3000 new, 500 used (used
A2000s are 3 times as likely to screw up as new A2000s))
  Availability: 3, F (for Fashion!)  Sold only at Fashion Weapons Botiques.

Blaster Unit:
        High Powered Blaster Weapon
        Range: 3-75/130/400
        Damage: 12D

Concussion Grenade Launcher:
        Range: 20-40/70/100
        Damage: (look it up... It uses standard concussion grenades.  I
don't have my books with me.  5D I think.)        

Pantyhose Launcher:
        Range: 20-40/70/100
        Damage: None
        Effect: Shoots balled up pantyhose that unfurls in midflight.  Could
be effective if aimed at the face, (would blind them).

Repeating Slugthrower:
        Range: 25/50/75
        Damage: varies
        Effect: To resolve damage, for each "shot" that hit, roll 1D.  This
is the number of bullets that hit the target (this is not a wild die).  Each
bullet does 1D of damage.  Add them together and roll collectively for damage. 
    (example: Tirog shoots a bad guy 3 times and "hits" all 3 times.  First
burst: he rolls 1D and comes up with a 4.  He then rolls 4D to determine
damage the the bad guy.  Second Burst: He rolls 1D and gets a 1.  He rolls
1D for damage according to normal damage rules.  Third Burst: He rolls 1D
and gets a 6.  He rolls 6d for damage according to normal damage rules.)

Other features:
        Micro Auto-Chef:  This device can prepare and heat various beverages.
        Music Disc Player:  Plays all standard music cartridges and discs.
Features random track select, track and disc repeat, track programming,
sonic equilizer, and an am/fm/subspace stereo.
        Cosmetic Case
        Cosmetic and Fragrence Dispensers and applicators
        Beverage Container Opener
        Hair Dryer

GM Note:  When player wishes to operate the device, he must make a Difficult
_fashion blasters_ roll to know how to operate that particular gadget.  If
the roll fails, GM secretly rolls 1D.  On a 1,2,3, or 4; player accidently
activates a different feature than the one he wanted.  On a 5 or 6, he lucks
out and fires the correct feature.  If this was bought as a used weapon,
only a 6 will cause the correct feature to operate.  
     This can cause some interesting and humorous effects, such as the
grenade launcher going off when the player is trying to make the auto-chef
prepare him a Tatooine Sunrise.  Heck, in case of the fashion blasters roll
failing, you may just want to pick an option and have it screw up without
rolling your dice.
     Once a player successfully operates a gadget, the roll to operate that
gadget again falls to an Easy or Moderate Difficulty (gm's disgression), and
there is less of a chance of that gadget going off accidently.

Have fun, and if anyone can suggest some revisions, additonal features that
would probably be part of this weapon (remember, this is a weapon for the
yuppie scum of the galaxy, think useless!), or can find some pre-existing
stats for the vulkan cannon or the grenade launcher and grenades, please
post them!

Also sold at Serge's Fashion Arms Botique:
        Flash Grenade Keychains
        Designer styled cans of mace, pepper spray, and others.
        High Heels with Microfilament in the stem (gives a new meaning to
"stilleto heels")
        Men's dress shoes with a concealed comlink in the heel (a la Maxwell
Smart)
        and other Stylish items!
