It is copywrited material do not diseminate further. This is presented only as an example of the types of damage to be expected from firearms. 4-G: Weapons and Armor Tablepos The following is a list of various and sundry implements of destruction to be wielded by both the HPs and EPs alike. Keep in mind that we do not purport any high degree of accuracy. This is a game, and the information is designed for play. If the Game Master desires or approves, detailed weapons statistics can be added for the campaign by weapons buffs! 4-G 1: Small Arms (Firearms) First of all, all of these devices use their appropriate Sub-Area in the Weapons, Small Arms K/S, and, except in the case of some grenades, do "Firearm" damage. The following table shows the attack rates, the maximum number of targets among whom the attacks may be divided, and the number of shots in each type of weapon's magazine. WEAPON TYPE SHOTS/CT # TARGETS MAGAZINE Pistols: Derringer 1 1 1 or 2 Revolver 2 1 9/5 or 6 Automatic 3 2 12/9 or 6 Machine *** 6 3 20/10 TYPE WP S PB SHT MDM LNG EXT DAM 2 Small Caliber Short Barrel * 5 1 1 3 15 25 40 2d6 Medium Barrel ** 7 2/3 2 10 30 50 100 2d6 /Machine Long Barrel 10 3 4 20 50 80 150 2d6 b Medium Caliber Short Barrel * 6 1 1 4 20 35 60 3d6 Medium/Machine ** 8 2/3 4 15 35 65 110 3d6 Long Barrel 10 3 6 25 60 90 150 3d6 c Large Caliber Short * 7 2 1 5 20 35 60 4d6 Medium/Machine ** 9 4/5 3 20 35 65 120 4d6 Long 10 5 5 25 60 100 175 4d6 4-G 1 b: Shotguns Ammunition costs around 25 cents per shell or 50 cents per shell for 00 buckshot or slugs. If slugs are used, add three to the Strike Location Multiplier, but reduce the Weapon Point rating to 5. Thus a sawed-off, large-bore shotgun firing slugs would have 5 Weapon Points but would do x4 damage on a "Non-Vital" hit! Also, when attacking with a shotgun don't forget to use a d6 Exposure roll for the target.

Like pistols, these devices may be fitted with laser sights. Silencers/Flash suppresors are possible but rare, and cost 100% of the price of the weapon.
