Hold-Outs

pistol.
Raecor Sting: This weapon’s “lemonsqueezer” design (the gun’s barrel protrudes
from between the firer’s fingers and it’s fired by making a fist) and its polyresin composition (undetectable
by MAD scanners) makes for a very stealthy weapon. It fires flechette ammunition only.
Streetline Special: This small, lightweight weapon is made of composite materials (MADs suffer a
–2 dice pool modifier to detect it). It is a common weapon among those on society’s bottom rung.

line of electronic weapons that feature no moving parts. Rather than a standard magazine, the bullets are stacked in-line
in each of the four barrels, allowing the firing of ultra-fast short bursts. The Fubuki may only fire narrow bursts (not wide),
but burst recoil is handled like SA recoil (–1 Recoil on the second burst each Action Phase only). Includes an integral
folding stock.

through things. It cannot be equipped with a silencer.

Use the Automatics skill when firing a
machine pistol.
Ceska Black Scorpion: This classic machine pistol combines concealability with burst fire capabilities.
It comes equipped with an integral folding stock.

is legendary—you
can bury it for 10 years, dig it up and fire it immediately without a single problem. Includes a detachable folding stock.

an Automatics + Agility (5, 1 minute) Extended Test to swap them in—into either an underbarrel shotgun, compact carbine,
sniper rifle (with imaging scope), or LMG (with bipod) configuration.

Use the Longarms skill when firing sport
rifles.

a built-in imaging scope and a rigid stock with shock pad.

rifle is your weapon of choice. Its two barrels can be shot at once with +1 DV and a –1 Recoil modifier. Includes a
rigid stock with shock pad.
Sniper Rifles
Use the Longarms skill when firing sniper
rifles.
Ranger Arms SM-4: This rifle features a silencer, imaging scope, and a rigid stock with shock
pad. The SM-4
disassembles completely in order to fit into a standard briefcase; assembling or disassembling it takes 3 Complex Actions.
Its barrel is highly sensitive: if bumped after being assembled(which tends to happen when it’s being used in standard
combat situations outside its intended sniper role), a –1 dice pool modifier is applied to all of its attack rolls.
Walther MA-2100: The chosen sniper rifle of the Confederated American States Army, the MA-2100
is designed to military specifications. It is free of the design instabilities common to other sniper rifles—however,
the downside to this model is that it cannot be disassembled to fit into a briefcase. It comes with an internal smartgun system

agencies. The weapon’s most distinguishing feature is the dual-clip system that allows the shooter to switch between
the weapon’s two ammo clips. The Enforcer comes equipped with a folding bipod and an imaging scope. The weapon can only
fire one clip at a time; it takes a Simple Action to manually select the other clip (or a Free Action if the Enforcer is smartlinked).
Shotguns
Use the Longarms skill when firing shotguns.
Mossberg AM-CMDT: This heavy automatic shotgun can fill a whole room with whirling pellets of
shot in an instant, which makes it a terrifying weapon in house-to-house combat. It fires flechette ammuniton
only (already included in the weapon stats).

ammunition.

When using flechette rounds for suppressive fire, the AA16 only uses 10 rounds, instead of the standard 20.
Boyd & Richards Desperado: The Desperado is a short barreled repeating shotgun whose design is reminiscent
of the time
when the American West was still wild and untamed. The weapon is built only in limited numbers each year and can be ordered
with a wide range of unique design features if the customer has the nuyen to pay for them (including mother-of-pearl inlays,
precious metal coatings, and exotic woods or gravures by renowned artists). The Desperado uses heavy pistol ranges when firing
slug rounds and taser ranges for flechette. While it can mount top- and under-barrel accessories, they are rarely seen because
they would ruin the Wild West appearance of the weapon.
Defiance T-250: This self-loading shotgun is available either in a normal-length or a short-barreled
version. _ e short-barreled version has a Concealability modifier of +2, a Damage code of 5P and uses heavy pistol ranges
(taser ranges when firing flechette ammunition).

can be done in one full Combat Turn. The Enfield AS-7 comes with an integrated, top-mounted laser sight.

assault shotgun is popular
with many military and police forces operating in urban combat zones.

conglomerate
for hunting and sports weapons, Suhl) holds high the concept of “weapons of classic styles for a classic sport.”
The model 55 shotgun is only produced in small numbers and is renowned among European hunters as a high precision and quality
weapon for a wealthier clientele. The weapon’s rigid stock comes equipped with an integrated shock pad. Both barrels can be shot at
once with a +1 DV and a –1 Recoil modifier.
Special Weapons
Use the Exotic Ranged Weapon skill when
firing these weapons.
Ares S-III Super Squirt: This popular non-lethal weapon fires dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, a carrier that
forces the skin to absorb chemicals) gel packs that can deliver a chemical substance over light pistol ranges. The attack
itself causes no damage, but when the target is hit successfully, the DMSO delivers the substance directly into the target’s
bloodstream.
Fichetti Pain Inducer: This non-lethal weapon uses a microwave laser that excites the molecules of
the target’s skin, inflicting intense pain (the target feels as if she were on fire). Treat this like a toxin attack
with a Power of 8. The target resists with Body + half armor (round up). If the modified Power exceeds
the target’s Willpower, the target
must spend her next Action Phase doing whatever it takes to get away from the pain (usually this means running away). The
attacker can continue to hold her beam on a target with a Complex Action unless the gamemaster deems the target has dodged
away or found cover. If the
target cannot flee, she is incapacitated with pain and suffers a dice
pool modifier equal to the modified Power on all tests foras long as the beam is trained on her. The Pain Inducer has 10 charges;
when attached to a power point, it reloads one charge per 10 seconds.
Machine Guns and Assault Cannons
Use the Heavy Weapons skill when firing
these weapons. They suffer from double Recoil modifiers.
Ingram White Knight: When you’re looking for a good bang for your buck, the White Knight is your kind
of gun. It’s equipped with a detachable folding stock, and an integral gas-vent system that provides 5 points of recoil
compensation and cannot be further upgraded.
Stoner-Ares M202: This MMG packs a tremendous punch into a relatively light framework made of extra-durable
compounds. Due to its comparitively smaller size, it’s a very popular secondary weapon for military vehicles, but can
also be equipped with various accessories to make it into a personal weapon.
Stoner-Ares M107: The M107 heavy machine gun is the standard heavy support weapon of the UCAS
Armed Forces. It includes a built-in top-mounted laser
sight and a barrel-mounted gas-vent 3 system for better accuracy and reduced recoil. The weapon also comes with a detachable
under-barrel-mounted tripod, providing the weapon with excellent full autofire capabilities.
Ultimax-HMG-2: Equipped with a detachable tripod, a rigid stock with shock pad, and a gas-vent 3 system, the
Ultimax is usually fired from a prone, sitting, or kneeling position, though some trolls might be strong enough to fire it
while standing.
Panther XXL: This enormous
assault cannon fires special ammunition common to that used as the primary weapon in small tanks. It comes with a smartgun
system and rigid stock with shock pad, though these are hardly enough to compensate for its tremendous recoil. Fortunately,
the weapon’s firing rate is quite low.
Ares Thunderstruck Gauss Rifle: The Thunderstruck rifle is the first man-portable gauss weapon and
Ares’s newest contribution to the assault cannon market. The weapon’s measurements and weight are comparable to
that of assault cannons, and while its damage potential is slightly below that of an assault cannon round, the Thunderstruck’s
rate of fire is higher. The Thunderstruck consumes both ammunition and energy to power its magnetic accelerators for each
round fired. It uses the same peak-discharge battery packs as Ares’s laser weapons and consumes 1 power point per shot.
The Thunderstruck can hold one power clip (which provides enough energy to shoot the 10 rounds each ammo clip holds) or draw
its energy from external satchel power packs or power backpacks. The weapon is fired from the hip and features a shoulder
strap and a hip pad bracing system for better balance and recoil compensation, as well as a built-in laser sight.
Ares Vigorous Assault Cannon: The Ares Vigorous is an assault cannon whose advantages are also its drawbacks.
Ares has perfected
the assault cannon’s design within the past 20 years, and thus the weapon is often praised for its durability (partly
due to its lack of accessories). However, since the enormous recoil the assault rounds produce is usually compensated by at
least some recoil reduction systems, many users complain about the massive recoil. Ares’s usual answer to these complaints
is that there is no need for including the accessories with the basic model, since a wide range of them is available to the licensed customer when the weapon is bought.
Grenade and Missile Launchers
Use the Heavy Weapons skill when firing
grenade and missile launchers.
Ares Antioch-2: The Antioch-2 features a classic grenade launcher design, combined with a smartgun system.
ArmTech MGL-12: This bullpup-configuration
model is popular, since it fires in semi-auto mode and carries more minigrenades than its competitors.
Mitsubishi Yakusoku MRL: The
internal loading mechanism of the Yakosoku Multi Rocket Launcher allows it to insert up to 4 different types of missiles (2
each) and choose freely (via the integrated smartgun connection) which of them to fire with each shooting action. Its two
firing tubes also allow for a quicker rate of fire.
Aztechnology Striker: The
Striker is an extremely light disposable launcher—perfect for shadowrunners who want to deliver a punch and make a quick,
unencumbered getaway.
