Ok, a blaster mishap tables for those players that keep rolling 1 on 
their wild dice [evil grin]

                     BLASTER MISHAP TABLE

Blaster fires normal unless a hangfire result is rolled.
Results are only for the shot where the mishap was rolled for
unless noted differently.

                         Minor Mishaps

Roll Result
1    Hangfire. Blaster doesn't fire.
2    Hangfire. Blaster doesn't fire until slapped hardly. (an
     action)
3    Blaster switched to stun setting from itself. (an action
     to switch back)
4    Slip. Blaster fires but increase range one level for this
     round.
5    Wrong gas flow. Damage decreased by 1D.
6    Powerpack runs empty. Must be replaced.

                       Moderate Mishaps

Roll Result

     During this time the blaster hums lowly. 1D damage in 2m
     radius
2    Hangfire. Blaster refuses to fire for 1D rounds.
3    Blaster switched to stun setting until repaired. (1
     round, easy repair)
