                        VI) New Weapons


                     Crystal Blaster Rifle
Model: Saldorian Armory Crystal Blaster Rifle CHG-4
Type: Antipersonnel blaster rifle
Scale: Character
Skill: Blaster: blaster rifle
Ammo: 25 (powerpack) Unlimited (power backpack)
Cost: 2,000; 100 (power pack); 500 (backpack power generator)

Fire Rate: 10
Range: 3-25/50/100
Blast Radius: 0-1/3
Damage: 2D*1D/1D*1D
Game Notes: When this rifle is fired, the blaster bolt goes
through a special crystal that dispersed the bolt in many tiny
ones. These are send out in a small cone. The target and
anyone within a metre gets hit by 2D bolts, within 3 metres by
1D bolts. Every bolt does 1D damage. The damage is totalled
and against this number the targets must resist.
Capsule: The Star Wars shotgun.

                      Rapid Blaster Rifle
Model: Saldorian Rapid Blaster Rifle RGG-2
Type: Antipersonnel rapid blaster rifle
Scale: Character
Skill: Blaster: repeating blaster
Ammo: Unlimited (power generator)
Cost: 5000; 500 (backpack power generator)
Availability: 3, R or X
Fire Rate: 30
Range: 3-10/30/120
Damage: 1D per bolt
Game Notes: The character carrying this weapon can't dodge
because of the weight of the weapon for it weight over 10
kilos. When fired however the player shooting decides how he
will split his blaster skill. How many dices for shots and how
many for accuracy. (example: blaster skill 7D -> 3D for shots
and 4D for accuracy.) Then roll the shot dice and this many
shots he manages to get off. This are evenly spread over the
selected targets. Note: multiple targets gives no penalties
with this rifle. But there is rolled for separately to hit for
every target. Every shot does 1D damage, add the damage and
then the targets resist.=20
Capsule:=20
The Star Wars Gatling Gun


                       Prax Sniper Rifle
Another example of Prax handiness, this is a special modified
blaster rifle. Because of the special manual pumping system
damage and range are greatly increased. The result is a long
range rifle for the "one shot, one kill" method. It is perfect
for those situations where there are to many minions or any
hostages around. A separate bi-pod can be attached to increase
accuracy. Special sights are also available that can make the
target look much closer and so increase accuracy at long
range.
Model: Prax Arms Model AFD-43 "Sniper"
Type: Blaster rifle
Scale: Character
Skill: Blaster: blaster rifle
Ammo: 15
Cost: 1,500; 250 (bi-pod); 100 (power pack); 250 (sights)
Availability: 2, F or R=20
Fire Rate: 3 (2 with sights)
Range: 3-40/120/350
Damage: 6D
Game Notes: This weapon has no stun setting. This rifle has a
manual controlled pumping system to press the gas more for
better damage. This causes the low fire rate and high ammo
use. Use of the bi-pod adds +1D to the blaster roll. Use of
the sights and a round preparation will reduces range two
levels for any following shots, but decreases fire rate to 2.

               Drearian Rapid-Fire Rifle/Blaster
A weapon used when greatly outnumbered and one does not have
to worry about hitting allies or the mess made. Every time
fired this rifle produces multiple bolts that can be spread by
moving the rifle rapidly left-right, best towards the enemy.
Also when an enemy has great protection you can count that at
least one bolt gets through.
Model: Drearian Arms Rapid-Fire Rifle U-21
     Drearian Arms Rapid-Fire Blaster D-49
Type: Rapid-fire blaster rifle/blaster
Scale: Character
Skill: Blaster: rifle/heavy blaster pistol
Ammo: 100/25
Cost: 1,500(rifle); 1,000(pistol); 100 (power pack)
Availability: 2, F or R
Fire Rate: 10 (rifle)/ 7 (pistol)
Range: 3-25/50/75 (rifle) 3-15/30/50 (pistol)
Damage: 5D
Game Notes: This rifle/pistol shoots per shot three bolts out
in rapid succession. For each three a roll must be made. Each
shot counts as two actions instead of one, so a shot is made
with an extra -1D. [Star Wars equivalent to RoboCop's weapon]

                 Anti-Speeder Rocket Launcher
Model: Locris Syndicates Model RDP-9 Rocket Launcher
Type: Anti-speeder weapon
Scale: Speeder
Skill: Missile weapons: rocket launcher
Ammo: 1 (per rocket; each rocket must be attached to tube
launcher)
Cost: 500; 1000 (per rocket) 5000 (per 6 rockets)
Availability: 2/3, R or X
Fire Rate: 2
Range: 10-250/350/500 (Character scale scatter)
Blast Radius: 0-2/6/9/15=20
Damage: 7D/6D/4D/2D
Game Notes: These rockets have a homing device for repulsor-
lift engines. When shooting at targets with these, a +1D to
hit is gained. Rockets can be loaded by a second person so
shooting person doesn't have to sacrifice a action for reloa-
ding.
Capsule: See this as the Bazooka in the StarWars universe.

                   Blaster Discharger Rifle
Model: Saldorian Blaster Discharger Rifle ARM-16
Type: Assault weapon
Scale: Character
Skill: Blaster: Blaster rifle (rifle); Melee: Bayonet (bayonet
on rifle); Melee: Knives (loose bayonet)

Cost: 2,500; 100 (power pack); 250 (bipod); 100 (bayonet)
Availability: 2, F or R
Fire Rate: 7
Range: 3-30/50/75
Damage: 2D * 2.5 (rifle); STR+2D (bayonet on rifle); STR+1D
(loose bayonet)
Game Notes: When firing this rifle multiple bolts shoot out of
a special made crystal. The many bolts increase the chance to
hit with +3D, but the damage each bolt does is small (2.5 pips
each). The target is hit by 2D bolts. So damage is 2D * 2.5=20
(not 5D), rounded down. Use of the bipod gives a another +1D
accuracy. The bayonet is mounted on the front of the rifle and
can be used in close quarter fighting or when out of ammo. Is
can also be taken of the rifle and used as an ordinary knife
(for specialization or encumbrance) , but damage is decreased
to STR+1D
Capsule:=20

                             BILL

lso be aimed at. Sensor
system (fire control) can be deactivated if e.x. enemy has infrared sensors=
. BILL can be fired from any
position where there is place for the gunner's knees.
Capsule: BILL is a man-portable anti-walker system that defeats the most mo=
dern main armored transports
where they are most vulnerable. Travelling at two feet above the gunner's l=
ine of sight, BILL overflies
the target, and when just in the right position, it strikes down through th=
e neck and devastates the
interior! The BILL missile is 1 meter long, 150mm in body diameter and its =
warhead is canted at 30
degrees to the horizontal. It incorporates a sophisticated proximity sensor=
 system for detecting the
target and initiating the shaped charge jet at just the right moment to giv=
e maximum effect. The is also
an impact fuse for igniting the warhead on a direct hit. BILL's raisable la=
uncher is completely
adaptable to the unevenness of the ground, making it the ultimate attack an=
d ambush weapon.

s is raised to -2D (or +1D to
parry, but -2D is easier instead) , for the wearer is actively crouching be=
hind it. The shield is worn
