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.

Machine Pistols

Use the Automatics skill when firing a machine pistol.

Sport Rifles

Use the Longarms skill when firing sport rifles.

Ruger 100: This sport rifle is the favorite weapon for many professional hunters. It features a built-in imaging scope and a rigid stock with shock pad.

PJSS Elephant Rifle: If you want to shoot something big from a safe distance, this huge double-barreled 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.

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).

Remington 990: The Remington includes an imaging scope and a rigid stock with shock pad. It can fire regular slug or flechette ammunition.

Auto-Assault 16: The AA16 is the latest model of the deadly fully-automatic shotgun, ideal for chewing up landscape with lethal suppressive _ re. It includes an integral gas vent 2 system for 2 points of recoil compensation. 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).

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.
