Chapter III
Occupations
Starting Occupation
A character may hold other jobs as their career unfolds, but
the benefits of a starting occupation are only applied once, at
the time of character creation. Many starting occupations have
initial requirements that the character must meet to qualify for
the occupation. If a character is selecting their first occupation
they only need to meet the initial requirements, not the hiring
requirements. Each occupation provides a number of additional
permanent archetype skills that the character can select from
a list of choices. Once selected, a permanent archetype skill is
always considered to be an archetype skill for the character. If
the skill selected is already an archetype skill for the character,
they also gain a +1 bonus for that skill.
Every level, a character also receives an additional +1 in the
selected skill(s) they choose with their occupation.
Some starting occupations provide a bonus feat. A character
still must meet any prerequisites for these bonus Feats.
Finally, a starting occupation determines how many Wealth
Points a character receives at start, and what their biweekly salary
is. The Wealth Points that are received to start with and biweekly
are considered surplus for whatever a character may need. Their
housing, basic food, and clothing needs are taken care of.
Choose one occupation from the available selections and
apply the benefits to the character as noted in the occupation’s
description.
Changing Occupations
A character will rarely keep one job their entire life. When
changing jobs, the character first loses their current job, and
becomes unemployed for at least two weeks, relinquishing their
old salary. Then, if a character meets the requirements to enter
their new job, they enter it, and pick from the skills listed, and
receive the new job’s biweekly salary from now on. They do
not select any of the bonus feats for the job, when entering it.
They must meet both the starting requirements, and the hiring
requirements, in order to qualify for the job. Dilettante is special,
as it is the only occupation that can not be entered.

Wealth and Game Balance

Because of the large sums of money Dilettantes receive
in both biweekly and starting wealth, a GM should be
careful that the Dilettante does not use these funds to
completely unbalance the game with the various licensing

of the game. This can make the game unfair and unfun
for the other players.

Standard Issue Vs. Player’s Choice
Choosing a sidearm can be an arduous choice. There are
many things to be considered, such as caliber, capacity,
and upgrade points, as well as cost. A good alternative to
this to have the GM select a firearm as a standard issue
sidearm for the police force. This guarantees uniformity
in magazines, spare parts, and ammunition, as well as
familiarity. Popular firearms include the Glock 17, Glock

Machine Pistols

Machine Pistols are usually Small to Medium Sized, and are
generally chambered in calibers that full sized handguns are
chambered in. A few share magazines with their full sized
handgun counterparts, but this is rare. Machine pistols generally
have an automatic fire, but that’s hardly a requirement. They
do, however, have large magazines. They also tend to have
removable stocks, or vertical foregrips, to control their automatic
fire. They are generally fired in closed bolt position. Ranges
generally span the same as full-sized handguns, but they are
considered a scale of firepower, because of their automatic rate
of fire. When crafting a weapon with automatic fire, the creator
can choose what rate of fire the automatic fires at.

6.2 Disable Security Device
A character can disable a security device, such as an electric
fence, motion sensors, or security cameras. The character must
be able to reach the actual device. If the device is monitored, the
fact that the character attempted to disable it will probably be
noticed. When disabling a monitored device, the character can
prevent their tampering from being noticed. Doing so requires 10
minutes and an electrical kit, and increases the TN of the check

A character makes a Knowledge check to see if the character
knows something. When trying to determine what Knowledge
skill a particular question or field of expertise falls under, use a
broad interpretation of the existing categories. When answering
a question, the TN for answering within the character’s field of
study varies by the difficulty of the question asked.

15.3 Conceal
You can hide a small object (including a Medium or smaller
weapon) on your body. Your Stealth check is opposed by the
Perception check of anyone observing you or of anyone frisking
you. In the latter case, the searcher gains a +4 bonus on the
Perception check, since it is generally easier to find such an object
than to hide it. Heavy or baggy clothing (such as an overcoat)
grants you a +2 bonus on the check.
Drawing a hidden weapon is dependent on how it is holstered
or sheathed, but doesn’t provoke an AoO.
15.4 Pickpocket
If you try to take something from a creature, you must make
a Stealth check [TN20]. The opponent makes a Perception check
to detect the attempt, opposed by the Stealth check result you
achieved when you tried to grab the item. An opponent who
succeeds on this check notices the attempt, regardless of whether
you got the item. You cannot use this skill to take an object from
another creature during combat if the creature is aware of your
presence.
You can use Presence to allow you to use Stealth. A successful
Presence check can give you the momentary diversion you need
to attempt a Stealth check while people are aware of you.
16.2 Secret message
You can use the Speechcraft skill to pass a hidden message
to another character without others understanding your true
meaning. This check is TN15 for simple messages and TN20 for
complex messages. If you are successful, the target automatically
understands you, assuming you are speaking in a language that
it understands. If your check fails by 5 or more, you deliver
the wrong message. Other creatures that hear the message can
decipher the message by succeeding at an opposed Speechcraft
check against your Speechcraft result.
16.3 Diplomacy
You can also use this skill to persuade others to agree with
your arguments, to resolve differences, and to gather valuable
information or rumors from people. This skill is also used to
negotiate conflicts by using the proper etiquette and manners
suitable to the problem.
You can change the initial attitudes of non-player characters
with a successful check. The TN of this check depends on

possibly take longer if the lie is elaborate (as determined by
the GM on a case-by-case basis) Delivering a secret message
generally takes twice as long as the message would otherwise

minute of continuous interaction. Making a request of a creature
takes 1 or more rounds of interaction, depending upon the
complexity of the request.

creature’s attitude more than once in a 24 hour period. If a request

Breaking into a secure computer or network is often called
hacking. When a character hacks, they attempt to invade a site. A
site is a virtual location containing files, data, or applications. A site
can be as small as a single computer, or as large as a corporate
network connecting computers and data archives all over the
world—the important thing is that access to the site connects the
user to everything within it. Some sites can be accessed via the
internet; others are not connected to any outside network and
can only be tapped into by a user who physically accesses a
computer connected to the site.
Every site is overseen by a system administrator—the person
in charge of the site, and who maintains its security. Often, the
system administrator is the only person with access to all of a
site’s functions and data. A site can have more than one system
administrator; large sites have a system administrator on duty at
all times. A character is the system administrator of their personal
computer.

17.4 Defend Security

If the character is the system administrator for a site (which
may be as simple as being the owner of a laptop), they can
defend the site against intruders. If the site alerts the character
to an intruder, the character can attempt to cut off the intruder’s
access (end the intruder’s session), or even to identify the intruder.
To cut off access, make an opposed Technology Use check
against the intruder. If the character succeeds, the intruder’s
session is ended. The intruder might be able to defeat the
character’s security and access their site again, but the intruder
17.7 Operate Remote Device
Many devices are computer-operated via remote links. If the
character has access to the computer that controls such systems,
the character can either shut them off or change their operating
parameters. The TN depends on the nature of the operation. If the
character fails the check by 5 or more, the system immediately
alerts its administrator that there has been an unauthorized use of
the equipment. An alerted administrator may attempt to identify
the character or cut off their access to the system.

If successful, the character becomes disabled. If the character
remains unconscious they make the same Fortitude Save every

character recovers HP naturally and they can return to normal
activity when their CHP goes above 0.
2.6 Dead (−10 hit points or lower)
When a character’s current CHP drop to −10 or lower they are
dead. A character can also die if their CON is reduced to 0.
3 Healing
After taking damage, a character can recover HP through
natural healing (over the course of days) or through medical 6 Saves
technology (somewhat faster). In any case, a character can’t
regain HP past their full normal total. A character’s CHP heal first
and then their XHP.
3.1 Natural Healing
A character recovers 1 HP per level per evening of rest (8
hours of sleep). A character undergoing complete bed rest (doing
nothing for an entire day) recovers 2 HP per level instead.
3.2 Healing Ability Damage
Ability damage returns at the rate of 1 point per evening of
rest (8 hours of sleep). A character undergoing complete bed rest
(doing nothing for an entire day) recovers 2 points instead.
3.3 Recovering from Extremity Wounds
When a character is hit in the extremity, they lose all ability
to use that extremity successfully. A character recovering from
extremity damage needs at least two weeks of long term care
to be partially functional. For every two weeks beyond the initial
two weeks of care the character recovers two HP that were lost
by being hit in an extremity.
4 Temporary Hit Points
Certain effects can give a character temporary HP. When a
character gains temporary HP make a note of their current HP
before adding the temporary HP. When the temporary HP goes
away, the character’s HP drop to that score. If the character’s
HP are already below that score, all the temporary HP have
already been lost and the character’s HP total does not drop.
When temporary HP are lost, they can’t be restored as real HP
can be, even with medical treatment.
CON Increases & Current HP
An increase in a character’s CON score, even a temporary
one, can give the character more CHP and XHP but
these are not temporary HP. They can be restored
through normal healing. When a character’s CON
goes back to normal after a temporary increase or is
permanently reduced the character’s full normal HP go
down accordingly.
5 Combat Points
A characters Combat Point score determines how many
actions a character can perform during their turn. A character
can perform as many actions as they have CP. Any combat points
left over do not cycle over between rounds. Every Character has
15 CP to spend per round.
Generally, when a character is subject to an unusual attack,
they receive a save to avoid or reduce the effect. A save is a
3d6 roll plus a bonus based on the character’s archetype and
level (the character’s Base Save Bonus) and an ability modifier. A
natural 3 on a saving throw is always a failure. A natural 18 is
always a success. A character’s saving throw bonus is:
BSB+Ability modifier+Misc. modifiers
The TN for a save is determined by the attack itself.
6.1 Save Types
The three kinds of saves are:
Fortitude Save These saves measure a character’s ability to
stand up to massive physical punishment or attacks against
their vitality and health such as poison and paralysis. Apply
a character’s CON modifier to their Fortitude Saves.
Reflex Save These saves test a character’s ability to dodge
massive attacks such as explosions or car wrecks. Often, when
damage is inevitable, a character receives a Reflex Save to take
only half damage. Apply the character’s AGL modifier to their
Reflex Save.
Will Save These saves reflect a character’s resistance to mental
influence and domination effects. Apply the character’s WIS
modifier to their Will Save.
7 Initiative
Each combatant can do something every round. The
combatants’ initiative checks, from highest to lowest, determine
the order in which they act, from first to last. If characters enter
a battle after it has begun, they roll initiative at that time and act
whenever their turn comes up in the existing order.

check. An initiative check is a DEX check. Each character applies
their AGL modifier to the roll, plus any other modifiers. The GM
finds out what order characters are acting in, counting down from
highest result to lowest, and each character acts in turn. On all
following rounds the characters act in the same order unless a
character takes an action that results in their initiative changing

8 Surprise
When a combat starts, if a character was not aware of his
enemies and they were aware of the character, that character
is surprised. Likewise, a character can surprise their enemies

Unaware Combatants
Combatants who are unaware at the start of battle do not get
to act in the surprise round. Unaware combatants are flat-footed.
Because of this,they lose any DEX bonus to Defense. Attack Action An attack action is an action where a character

modifier). If the character and the target are different sizes, the

To disarm an opponent wielding a ranged weapon the character

in two hands, it receives a +2 bonus to its DEF. If the character’s
attack succeeds, the ranged weapon falls to the ground or winds
up in the character’s hands (if the character made the attack
unarmed). This kind of disarm attempt provokes an AoO, but
if the character fails the target does not get to make a disarm
attempt against him or her.

10.12.1 Helpless Defenders 10.15.2 Holding

A helpless foe, who is bound, sleeping, unconscious, or
otherwise at the attacker’s mercy is an easy target. A character
can sometimes approach a target who is unaware of their
presence, get adjacent to the target, and treat them as helpless. If
the target is in combat or some other tense situation and therefore
in a state of acute awareness and readiness or if the target can
use their DEX bonus to DEF then that target can’t be considered
unaware. Any reasonable precaution taken by a target including
stationing bodyguards, placing their back to a wall, or being able
to make Perception checks also precludes catching that target
unaware and helpless.
10.12.2 Regular Attack
A helpless defender has an effective DEF of 5 + their size
modifier. If a character is attacking with a ranged weapon and is
not adjacent to the target, the character can attack as normal and
gain a +2 bonus on the attack roll. If the character is attacking
with a melee weapon, or with a ranged weapon from an adjacent
square, the character can attack as normal.
Once a character has established a hold they are involved in a
grapple. From a hold a character can attempt a number of actions,
including damaging the opponent or pinning the opponent. A
character can’t get a hold on any creature more than two size
categories larger than the character. Such a creature can still get
a hold on the character, so while they could not initiate a grapple
with the creature, they can still find themselves grappling with
one.
10.15.3 Pinning
Getting the opponent in a pin is often the goal of a grapple. A
pinned character is held immobile.
10.15.4 Grapple Checks
When a character is involved in a grapple they will need to make
opposed grapple checks against an opponent, often repeatedly. A
grapple check is something like a melee attack roll. A character’s
attack bonus on a grapple check:

critical strikes.
To start a grapple a character first needs to grab and hold their
target. Attempting to start a grapple is the equivalent of making
10.15 Grapple a melee attack. Follow these steps:
Grappling means wrestling and struggling hand-to-hand. There
are three stages to grappling: grabbing, holding, and pinning. Step 1: Attack of Opportunity A character provokes an AoO
from the target they are trying to grapple. If the AoO deals
damage to the character, he fails to start the grapple. If the AoO

70

Step 3: Hold Make an opposed grapple check. If the character
succeeds, he has started the grapple and deals damage to the
target as if with an unarmed strike. If the character loses he fails
to start the grapple. The character automatically loses an attempt
to hold if the target is two or more size categories larger than
the character is, but the character can still make an attempt to
grab such a target, if that’s all they want to do.
Step 4: Maintain the Grapple To maintain the grapple for later
rounds, the character must move into the target’s square. This
movement is free, but provokes AoO from threatening foes other
than the target. The character and the target are now grappling.
If the character can’t move into the target’s square, the character
can’t maintain the grapple and must immediately let go of the
target. To grapple again, the character must begin at step 1.
Escape from Pin Make an opposed grapple check. If
the character succeeds, they can escape from being pinned.
Opponents don’t have to try to keep the character pinned if they
don’t want to. The character is still being grappled, however.
Alternatively, a character can make an Athletics check opposed
by the opponent’s grapple check to escape from the pin. This is
an attack action that the character may only attempt once per
round.
Break Another’s Pin Make an opposed grapple check; if the
character succeeds they can break the hold that an opponent
has over an ally.
Draw a Light Weapon A character can draw a light weapon
for the normal Combat Point cost.

Damage the Opponent Make an opposed grapple check; if

the character succeeds, they deal damage as they would with an
unarmed strike.
Pin Make an opposed grapple check; if the character succeeds,
they hold the opponent immobile for 1 round. The opponent takes
a −4 penalty to DEF against all attacks from other people (but
not from the character); however, the opponent is not considered
helpless. A character can’t use a weapon on a pinned character
or attempt to damage or pin a second opponent while holding a
pin on the first. A pinned character can’t take any action except
to attempt to escape from the pin.
Escape from Grapple Make an opposed grapple check. If the
character succeeds, they can escape the grapple. If more than
one opponent is grappling the character, the grapple check result
has to beat all their check results to escape. Opponents don’t have
to try to hold a character if they don’t want to. Alternatively, the
character can make a Athletics check opposed by the opponent’s
grapple check to escape from the grapple. This is an attack action
that the character may only attempt once per round.
10.15.11 Multiple Grapplers
Several combatants can be in a single grapple. Up to four
combatants can grapple a single opponent in a given round.
Creatures that are one size category smaller than the character
count as 1/2 creature each; creatures that are one size category
larger than the character count as two creatures; and creatures
two or more size categories larger than the character count as
four creatures.
When involved in a grapple with multiple opponents, the
character chooses one opponent to make an opposed check
against. The exception is an attempt to escape from the grapple;
to escape, a character’s grapple check must beat the check results
of all opponents.
10.15.12 Attacks of Opportunity
Making an unarmed attack against an armed opponent
provokes an AoO from the character attacked. The AoO comes
before the character’s attack. An unarmed attack does not
provoke AoO from other foes, nor does it provoke an AoO from
an unarmed foe.

a character provokes an AoO from that creature if the character
makes an unarmed attack against it. An ‘‘armed’’ unarmed attack
is considered an attack made with a small weapon.

10.15.14 Unarmed Strike Damage

An unarmed strike from a Medium-size character deals
1d3+POW modifier of non-lethal damage. A character can specify
that their unarmed strike will deal lethal damage before the
character makes their attack roll, but the character takes a −4
penalty on the attack roll because they have to strike a particularly Recoil Penalty

Multishot attacks have an attack penalty based on the
caliber’s damage. For every +2 or −2 to damage a caliber

10.16.2 Firearms

target. The Personal Firearms Proficiency feat allows a character
to make this sort of attack without penalty. If a character isn’t

Close Combat & Firearms
Firearms are anything but close ranged weapons,
they’re designed with range, and the benefits that come
with it, in mind. Because of this, many firearms are
unwieldy to use in close quarters.
When using a shotgun with a choked or slug barrel or a
full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent
opponent the character takes a −3 penalty on all ranged
attacks.
When using an assault, battle, or target rifle with any
full stock or an extended folding stock against an adjacent
opponent the character takes a −4 penalty on all ranged
attacks.
When using a designated marksman rifle, sniper rifle,
or anti-materiel rifle with any full stock or an extended
folding stock against an adjacent opponent the character
takes a −6 penalty on all ranged attacks.
When using a machine gun, rocket launcher, or grenade
launcher against an adjacent opponent the character takes
a −8 penalty on all ranged attacks.
firearm is fired as if it were a single shot and if the attack
succeeds, the character rolls the damage twice. Double-fire uses
2 rounds of ammunition and can only be used if the weapon has
2 rounds of ammunition in it. Double-fire can also be used for
underbarrel grenade launchers, mounted tasers and Masterkeys.
When double-firing using them, there is a −4 to the attack roll for
each weapon and each attack is rolled separately.
10.16.7 Autofire
Autofiring is firing a loosely controlled burst of automatic fire at
a specific area from an automatic weapon. If a ranged weapon
has an automatic rate of fire a character may set it on autofire.
Autofire effects an area and everyone in it, not a specific creature.
The character targets a 10’ by 10’ area and makes an attack roll;
the targeted area has an effective DEF of 10. The recoil penalty
for autofire is the CRP−3. If the attack succeeds, every creature
within the affected area must make a Reflex Save [TN15]. If they
succeed they take half of the weapon’s damage. Autofire uses a
number of rounds depends on the rate of fire of the gun. Slow
ROF consumes 12 rounds, Medium ROF consumes 10 rounds, and
Fast ROF consumes 8 rounds and can only be used if the weapon
has enough rounds in it.

or in your rear area.
14.8.2 Facing And Attacking
In general, a character can attack into any square in his front
area without penalty. Characters who don’t want to change their
facing to point toward a foe can attack into their flank areas at a
−5 penalty and into their rear areas at a −10 penalty.
Characters can make ranged attacks into any square beyond
their front area without penalty, as shown in the accompanying
diagram. The penalties for making ranged attacks into flank and
rear areas are the same as for melee combat.
14.8.3 Opponent Facing
Not only does your facing matter when you’re attacking, but
the facing of your opponent does as well. If you’re attacking from
a foe’s flank area (or the squares beyond it, if you have a reach
or ranged weapon), you get a +2 bonus on the attack roll. You
don’t need anyone opposite you on the other side of your foe. If
you’re attacking from a foe’s rear area (or the squares beyond
it), you get a +4 bonus on the attack roll.
Faceless Creatures Some creatures have no real facing
because they can move, attack, and perceive foes equally well in
every direction. Faceless creatures can move or attack into any
adjacent square and they can’t be flanked or attacked from the
rear because they don’t have flanks or rears.
Tiny and Smaller Creatures Tiny and smaller creatures don’t
have facing. They can move or attack in any direction and are
otherwise treated as faceless.
14.8.4 Facing And Perception
It’s much easier to see what’s going on in your front area and
much easier to sneak around behind someone’s back.
Perception Check Characters take a −5 penalty on Perception
checks to spot things in their flank area (or beyond) and a −10
penalty to spot things in their rear area (or beyond). The Combat
Awareness feat helps dampen this penalty. Faceless creatures

For simply traveling from point to point, the vehicle used
is largely a matter of personal style and finances. Skill checks
are only required in extraordinary circumstances. These rules
are primarily focused on ground vehicles: cars, trucks, and light
81
15.1 Characters in Vehicles
A character in a vehicle fills one of several possible roles, which
determines what the character can do.
Driver The driver of the vehicle controls its movement. Most
vehicles have only one position from where the vehicle can be
driven, so the person seated there is the driver. Driving a vehicle
costs a minimum of 6 Combat Points, which means that the driver
may be able to do something else with their Combat Points. There
can be only one driver in a vehicle at one time.
Copilot A copilot can help the driver by taking an aid another
action. The copilot must be seated in a location where they can
see the road and advise the driver (in a car, this generally means
the front passenger seat). Aiding the driver costs 6 Combat Points.
A vehicle can have only one copilot at a time. A copilot can also
drive the vehicle if the driver cannot or chooses not to, provided
there is a second set of controls at the copilot’s seat (usually true
in aircraft, but not ground vehicles).
Gunner Some vehicles have built-in weapons. If such a weapon
is controlled from a location other than the driver’s position, a
character can man that position and become the gunner. A vehicle
can have as many gunners as it has gunner positions.
Passenger All other personnel aboard the vehicle are
considered passengers. Passengers have no specific role in the
vehicle’s operation, but may be able to fire weapons from the
vehicle or take other actions.
15.2 Scale
These rules use two scales. If the encounter involves both
vehicles and characters on foot, use character scale. If the scene
involves only vehicles and they’re likely to move at much higher
speeds than characters or creatures on foot, use vehicle scale.
15.2.1 Character Scale
Character scale is identical to the standard scale: It’s carried out
on a grid in which each square equals 5 feet. In character scale,
most vehicles are large enough to occupy multiple squares on
in the vehicle’s description.
When moving a vehicle, count the squares from the vehicle’s
rear. When turning, pivot the vehicle on the rear square toward
which it is turning. When firing weapons, count squares from the
15.2.2 Vehicle Scale
In Vehicle scale, grids are not used. Instead the GM will
describe the location of objects and obstacles, in reference to the
character’s location. It is important to use numerical feet values
for anything the characters will target, and reference how long it
will take the characters to reach a particular obstacle, based on
their speed.

check at the listed TN. Success results in the license being issued
in 1d4 days. During character creation, a character only needs to

before game play begins. As a general rule, a character must
obtain the appropriate license before buying a restricted object.
When a character has purchased the appropriate license once,
it is applicable for all items with the same rating, so a character
does not have to purchase a license for each item of the same
level. A higher license grants the ability to purchase any object at
the same restriction level or lower. Legitimate dealers will not sell

Cocaine Cocaine is the processed version of the coca plant,
used as a strong stimulant. It is primarly used as a recreational
drug. A character may injest, inject, or inhale one dose of
cocaine(1/8 oz) to gain 5 additional Combat Points every round
for 1 minute. The character may inject subsequent doses to
lengthen the time this bonus last by 1 minute, but does not grant
any additional Combat Points. After each dose is injest, inject, or
inhaled, a character immediately makes a Fortitude Save [TN25].
If a character fails this save, they take CHP damage equal to the
Combat Point bonus they received. The TN increases by 5 for
each dose of Cocaine taken within 6 weeks of the first dose. Sold
in 1 oz of powder.
Adderall A pharmaceutical pill marketed as a treatment for
ADHD, ADD and other similar disorders. A character can consume
a single pill, which reduces craft checks of 24 hours in length or
more by 1d4 hours, and craft checks of 1 week in length or more
by 1d3 days. This effect lasts for one week. Adderall is packaged
in a small bottle containing 10 pills.
MDMA An empathogenic drug that causes euphoria, a
diminished sense of anxiety, and mild psychedelia. A character
can consume a single pill which grants a +2 bonus to all Reflex
and Will Saves. This bonus lasts for 30 minutes. After the effect
wears off the character is considered Exhausted. A character can
consume at least 32 ounces of water to halve the time it takes
to recover from their exhaustion. MDMA is distributed in loose,
singular pills.
Opioids These medicines allow a character to ignore pain, and
allow them to continue fighting, but only for a limited time. These
are much stronger versions of the over the counter painkillers
and as such require proper documentation to possess. When
the effects wear off, the healing effect of the opioid goes with it.
Opioids can be given to a character with at least 1 CHP. Opioids
will restore both CHP and XHP, but will always restore CHP before
XHP. The price listed is for one dose and each dose lasts for
1d3 hours. After taking a single dose, the character takes 1 CON
damage that heals normally.
Hallucinogens These vary in presentation, type, and duration,
but they all do the same thing—make the character hallucinate.
When a character takes a single dose of a hallucinogen, they take
3d3 WIS damage. This effect lasts 2d2 hours and the damage
lasts as long as the effect.
10 Armor
Armor comes in three different types:
Impromptu armor includes items that provide protection even
though they were not designed for that purpose, such as leather
biker’s jackets and football pads.
Concealable armor is modern body armor designed to fit
underneath regular clothing. It can be worn for extended periods
of time without fatiguing the wearer. Concealable armor can also
be worn under Impromptu or Tactical armor.
Tactical armor is modern body armor that fits over clothing
and can’t be easily concealed. Its weight and bulk make it
impractical to wear all the time and is generally only donned
when a specific dangerous confrontation is likely. Because it
is worn over clothing in tactical situations, tactical armor often
has pockets, clips, and MOLLE attachment points for carrying
weapons, grenades, ammunition, flashlights, first aid kits, and
other items.
• Equipment Bonus The equipment bonus is the bonus to
DEF a character gets if they are proficient in the armor, and
it has not run out of AP. The Equipment bonus only applies
to areas it protects.
• Maximum AGL Bonus The maximum AGL Bonus you can
apply toward your defense, when wearing the armor.
• Armor Penalty This penalty applies to the following skills if
the character isn’t proficient in the worn armor: Acrobatics,
Athletics, Craft (All), Demolitions, Disable Device, Drive,
Perform, Pilot, Ride and Stealth. If a character is proficient in
the armor, the penalty only applies to Athletics, Acrobatics,
and Stealth.
• CP Loss How much the armor slows a character down
when worn. The character has to spend this amount of
Combat Points from their Combat Point pool before they
can move.
• Damage Reduction This is represented on how much
damage the armor negates, and what type of damage
is reduced.
– Sl Slashing | Pi Piercing | Bl Bludgeoning | Ba Ballistic
– F Fire | C Concussion
108

• AP Armor points are a representation of how much damage
armor can take. When armor protects a character from
damage using its damage reduction, it subtracts the damage
done from its AP score. Armor points are only subtracted
to applicable damage. Armor can be repaired at 1 WP per
Armor point. Armor only protects against certain types of
damage. If a character is attacked and his armor does not
cover the certain type of damage, the Damage Reduction
for the armor does not apply, and they take the full damage
to their hit points. When an armor has run out of AP, it also
stops providing an Equipment Bonus to DEF.
Corrections Vest This armor is designed for use in prisons,
where firearms are less of a threat than improvised melee
weapons.
MOLLE Vest This tactical gear is covered in MOLLE, which
allows different accessories to be mounted according to the user’s
specifications. This armor has 12 MOLLE slots.
Plastron Fencers wear this quilted canvas armor, which protects
the torso, arms, and groin against parries, thrust, and swipes from

Action firearms require the hammer to be pulled back manually,

Any firearm that uses a box magazine, or any lever action
or pump action weapon can carry an extra cartridge in the
chamber. To put a cartridge in the chamber, the weapon is
loaded as normal. (Chambering a round is part of the normal
loading process.) Then the magazine is removed, an extra bullet
or shell is added (to replace the one that was chambered), and
the magazine is reinserted. This process takes 12 Combat Points.
For lever action and pump action weapons, the weapon is loaded
as normal. (Chambering a round is part of the normal loading
process). Then an extra bullet or shell is added (to replace the
one that was chambered), this process takes 4 Combat Points.
Generally, the closer a target is to the shooter, the easier it is
to score a hit. The farther away a target is, the smaller it appears
and the more difficult it is to hit. To counteract this difficulty, the
use of telescopic scopes has become popular. A telescopic scope
gives the shooter a magnified view of a distant target, facilitating
aim. It also uses a targeting reticule or cross hair to identify the
bullet’s point of impact. When a scope is fitted to a rifle, it must be
zeroed, meaning that it must be adjusted so that the cross hairs
accurately show the actual impact point at a given range. This
process requires the personal weapons proficiency, and 5 bullets
or shells, as well as somewhere to test fire the weapon.
All firearms are ballistic damage weapons and have a critical
threat range of 16-18, unless otherwise noted.
Using a magazine with a higher capacity than the standard
magazine issued imposes a −4 penalty to Stealth checks to hide
the weapon.
Restricted Weapons
Restricted weapons generally fall into two areas: Short
Barreled Shotguns and Short Barreled Rifles.
A short barreled shotgun is a shotgun that has a
barrel that is shorter than 18 inches, usually cut down
with the ammunition tube reduced as well. Short barrel
shotguns are often used by police officers for their ease
of maneuverability in vehicles and tight spaces, as well
as to have a small weapon for breaching. Short barrel
shotguns also include mountable weapons for rifles.
A short barrel rifle is a rifle that has a barrel less than
16 inches. A short barrel rifle also encompasses carbine
rifles, that have barrels that meet the prerequisites. SBRs
are often used by tank crews, who need a weapon that
takes the full power ammunition, but that is smaller in size,
and can be compatible with magazines and ammunition
of full sized and even carbine rifles.
11.2.0.2 Error Range Error Range represents the likelihood
a firearm will fail when used. When combat starts, the GM secretly
rolls a d% for every weapon that has error range. If the roll is
equal to or less than the weapon’s total error range then the
weapon has the possibility to jam during this combat. Combat
proceeds as normal, but if a character using an affected firearm
rolls a specific natural attack roll, the firearm has become jammed;
the weapon can’t be fired until the shooter spends 12 Combat
Points to clear the jam. Anytime a weapon’s error range changes
during combat, the GM rerolls using the new error range to see
if the change had a negative or positive effect on the weapon’s
possibility of jamming.
Error Range can be removed from weapons that are
manufactured with it by upgrading the weapon with Clockwork
Action, or a Precision Upgrade. There are many things that can
increase the Error Range in a weapon, and make it unreliable to
use. Weapons with cylinders, single shot weapons, and specially
noted weapons do not suffer the error range penalty that comes
from using alternate types of ammunition.
Age Age and heavy use can render a weapon unreliable. While
this should never be a factor through the degree of time and
use typical to a normal campaign, the GM can determine that an
older weapon obtained by the characters is already unreliable
due to age. A weapon that has been sitting in a museum might
not become unreliable for fifty years, but one that has sat in the
leaky trunk of an abandoned car for a couple of months might be
unreliable. This grants a +40 towards the weapon’s error range
and only goes away if the weapon is repaired and cleaned (Craft
(Mechanical) Repair [TN20]).
Damage Any firearm that has taken 1 point or more of damage
is unreliable. This grants a +15 toward the weapon’s error range
and only goes away if the weapon is repaired (Craft (Mechanical)
Repair [TN22]).
Immersion Immersion in water, mud, or other liquids can affect
reliability. Any time a weapon is immersed in a liquid it gains a
+20 toward the weapon’s error range. Slight wetness, such as
that caused by rain, is not sufficient to affect the weapon. The
error range increase goes away when the weapon is dried out,
which takes 1 minute if the weapon is disassembled and dried by
hand, or 6 hours if it is left to dry on its own.
Unreliable Ammunition Alternate forms of ammunition can
cause a weapon’s error range to increase and affect the
weapon’s overall reliability. The error range goes away when
the ammunition is removed or is no longer used.

issue; enough time is given between shots so that recoil can be
absorbed and aim reacquired. In multishots, recoil can affect
aim and throw off shots. All calibers have a recoil modifier, that
will modify all firearm attacks that take use of the Caliber Recoil
Penalty. The strength score of a character will modify the recoil
of a firearm, at the rate of STR−10. While the strength score
can eliminate the recoil penalty, it can never provide a bonus to
ranged attacks.

11.4 Handguns
‘‘I know what you’re thinking. ’Did he fire six shots or only
five?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind
of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the
most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your
head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: ’Do
I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?’’ —Harry Callahan
A handgun is a firearm designed to have the potential to be
held and operated by one hand, although not necessarily used
that way. This characteristic differentiates handguns as a general
class of firearms from long guns such as rifles and shotguns
(which are usually mounted against the shoulder). Major handgun
subtypes are the revolver and pistol, and are split into various
subtypes based on size and use.
There are handguns that are available to suit nearly any
budget. Low-cost models featuring simple operating systems,
crude manufacturing, and low-quality materials are widely
produced. while more reliable and sophisticated service weapons
that are suitable for more active use form the middle of the
market. At the high end are advanced custom pistols, produced
for Olympic-class target shooting, exclusive private collections,
or specialized forces, such as SWAT.
Handguns differ from long guns in the fact that they are
generally regarded as more personal weapons: The style, model,
and even caliber, can tell quite a lot about a character, and they
are generally selected by hand, rather than issued. Handgun
selection generally mirrors personal preference out in combat,
more so than long guns as a handgun is generally always worn,
and only drawn when needed. They are also easier to conceal
than a long gun, allowing for a seemingly unarmed appearance
when worn with the correct holster and clothing. A handgun
should always be chosen carefully, the character’s personality,
backstory, and preference should definitely have some sway and
appearance in their choice.
11.4.0.1 Revolvers A revolver is a repeating firearm that
has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one
barrel for firing. Capacity for a revolver can be as little as 3 rounds,
and as many as 10, but 5 and 6 round cylinders are the most
common. Revolvers predated semi-automatic pistols, praised in
their time for their ability to fire multiple shots without reloading,
nor resorting to having multiple barrels to do as such. Revolvers
provide an advantage in the fact that a misfiring cartridge does not
put a gunfighter out of commission; only a trigger pull is needed
to advance to the next round. Revolvers are also generally less
complicated on an end user level, being easier to maintain and
operate, but much harder to repair. Revolvers, however, usually
have low capacities, when compared to autoloading pistols (The
highest capacity revolver at 10 rounds, is only the mid level for an
autoloading pistol), and nearly all models are unable to effectively
use suppressors.
Revolvers themselves fall into various categories based on
how they are cocked, and how they are loaded.
11.4.0.2 Single Action, Double Action, and Double Action
Only With a single-action revolver (SA), the hammer is
manually cocked, usually with the thumb of the firing or supporting
hand. This action advances the cylinder to the next round and
locks the cylinder in place with the chamber aligned with the
barrel. The trigger, when pulled, releases the hammer, which
fires the round in the chamber. To fire again, the hammer must be
manually cocked again. This is called ‘‘single-action’’ because the
trigger only performs a single action, of releasing the hammer.
Because only a single action is performed and trigger pull is
lightened, firing a revolver in this way allows most shooters to
achieve greater accuracy. Additionally, the need to cock the
hammer manually acts as a safety. The Colt Paterson Revolver,
the Walker Colt, the Colt’s Dragoon and the Colt Single Action
Army pistol of the American Frontier era are all good examples
of this system. A single action revolver can be used to perform
fanning attacks, where the supporting hand rapidly cocks the
hammer back and the primary hand simply holds the trigger
down, allowing for a volley of lead at a cost of accuracy.
With a double-action(DA) revolver, the stroke of the trigger
pull generates three actions: the hammer is pulled back to the
cocked position, the cylinder begins to be indexed to the next
round, and then the hammer is released to strike the firing pin.
Thus double action means that a cocking action separate from
the trigger pull is unnecessary; and every trigger pull will result in
a complete cycle. This allows uncocked carry while also allowing
draw-and-fire using only the trigger. A longer and harder trigger
stroke is the trade-off, but this drawback can also be viewed as a
safety feature, as the gun is safer against accidental discharges
from being dropped.
Most double-action revolvers may be fired in two ways. The
first way is single-action, exactly the same as a single-action
revolver; the hammer is cocked with the thumb, which indexes
the cylinder, and when the trigger is pulled, the hammer is tripped.
The second way is double action.
Certain revolvers, called double action only (DAO), lack the
latch that enables the hammer to be locked to the rear, and thus
can only be fired in the double action mode. With no way to
lock the hammer back, DAO designs tend to have bobbed or
spurless hammers, and may even have the hammer completely
covered by the revolver’s frame. These are generally intended
for concealed carrying, where a hammer spur could snag when

operation, blowback, or gas operation. After a round is fired, the
spent casing is ejected and a new round from the magazine is
loaded into the chamber, allowing another shot to be fired as
soon as the trigger is again pulled.
Most types of semi-automatic pistols rely on a removable
magazine to store ammunition before it is fired, usually inserted
inside the grip. These magazines can hold anywhere from 3 to 100
rounds, though magazines between 5 and 20 are most common.
Semi-automatic Pistols provide an advantage in capacity, as they
hold two to three times more than a revolver of similar size.
Semi-automatic pistols are generally more complex to operate
and maintain on an end user level, but easier to repair.
Semi-automatic pistols fall into various categories based on
how they are cocked, and what kind of magazine they posses.
11.4.0.8 Single Action, Double Action/Single Action, Double
Action Only, and Pre-Set Action Typically, the first round is
manually loaded into the chamber by pulling back and releasing
(‘‘racking’’) the slide mechanism. After the trigger is pulled and the
round is fired, the recoil operation of the handgun automatically
extracts and ejects the shell casing and reloads the chamber. This
mode of operation generally allows for faster reloading, although
semi-automatic pistols are potentially more prone to malfunctions
than revolvers due to their more complex design and mechanism.
A single-action (SA) semi-automatic pistol must be cocked by
first operating the slide or bolt, or, if a round is already chambered,
by cocking the hammer manually. The famed Colt M1911 is an
example of this style of action. All SA semi-automatic pistols
exhibit this feature, and automatically cock the hammer when
the slide is first ‘‘racked’’ to chamber a round. A round can also
be manually inserted in the chamber with the slide locked back.
Then the safety can be applied.
Standard modern semi-automatic pistols are usually double-
action/single-action (DA/SA). In this design, the hammer or striker
may be either thumb-cocked or activated by pulling the trigger
when firing the first shot. The hammer or striker is re-cocked
automatically during each firing cycle. In double-action/single-
action (DA/SA) pistols, the first pull of the trigger requires roughly
twice as much pressure as subsequent firings, since the first pull
of the trigger also cocks the hammer (if not already cocked by
hand). The Beretta 92FS, a full-sized, service, semi-automatic
pistol is an example of this style of action. A common mode of
carry for DA/SA semi-automatic pistols is with the magazine full,
a round chambered, and the gun holstered and uncocked with
the external safety off.
11.4.1 Modern Handguns
The handguns listed under this section represent the selection from the mid 1950s to the present day. These are the mostly commonly
encountered handguns in this day and age.
A Pre-set Action (PA) is a blend of Single Action (SA), and Double
Action/Single Action (DA/SA). Upon firing a cartridge or loading
the chamber, the hammer or striker will rest in a partially cocked
position. The trigger serves the function of completing the cocking
cycle and then releasing the striker or hammer. While technically
two actions, it differs from a double-action trigger in that the
trigger is not capable of fully cocking the striker or hammer.
It differs from single action in that if the striker or hammer
were to release, it would generally not be capable of igniting
the primer. Preset actions also benefit in the fact that the first shot
has the same trigger pressure as the subsequent shots, but have
a downside where the slide must be racked if the round fails to
fire, in order to reset the action.
Some modern semi-automatic pistols are double action only
(DAO); that is, once a round is chambered, each trigger pull
will cock the hammer, striker, or firing pin, and will additionally
release the same to fire a cartridge in one continuous motion.
Each pull of the trigger on a DAO semi-automatic pistol requires
the same amount of pressure. The Kel-Tec P-32 is an example
of a DAO action. DAO semi-automatic pistols are most generally
recommended only in the smaller, self-defense, concealable
pistols, rather than in target or hunting pistols. A notable exception
are Glock pistols which optimize preset triggers (similar to DAO)
but the striker is partially cocked back as the slide closes. This
allows for significantly shorter trigger pulls than DAO. The trigger
spring can be replaced with a lighter one and paired with a
low-strength sear connector resulting in lightened trigger pulls to
improve a shooter’s accuracy.
11.4.0.9 Fixed and Removable Magazine Nearly all semi-
automatic pistols use a removable magazine, which can be taken
from the magazine well, reloaded, and then replaced in the pistol.
This facilitates a much quicker reload time by carrying around
more magazines that have been prefilled with ammunition. In
most handguns, even with the magazine removed, it can still be
fired if there is a round in the chamber.
The fixed pistol magazine generally uses stripper clips or loose
rounds to reload a handgun, which is pushed into the internal
magazine, and then stowed or tossed away. These are generally
slower than removable magazine pistols, as the action generally
has to be locked back before reloading, and if a character is
caught in the middle of reloading, they can not fire. Reloading
also has to be done after the firearm has completely expended
all of its ammunition (or all of the ammunition has been removed),
which doesn’t allow for topping off rounds in a timely manner.

Table 136: Cheap Modern Full Size Handguns


11.4.1.3 Modern Full Size Handguns
Full Size Handguns usually serve as the
duty weapons of most military forces
and law enforcement officers around the
world. They’re built for effectiveness
over concealment, with bulky utilitarian
frames, heavy grips, and high ammunition
capacities. Full Size Handguns go well
with any holster that they can fit in, but
generally are put in Belt Holsters, Tactical
Holsters, and Shoulder Holsters
Full Size Handguns do not necessarily
have to meet the concealable issue
that backup and holdout handguns have,
therefore are generally larger and possess
plenty of ammunition to have an extended
fight with. The downsides are that they do
shoot handgun ammunition, and are weak
when compared to rifles and shotguns.
Full sized handguns should be used when
concealment is not a large issue, but a full
sized rifle or shotgun would be unwieldy

to use, or too heavy to carry. When used Rock Island Armory 1911-A1FS

11.5.1 Modern Personal Defense Weapons

A Machine pistol is a pistol that can lay down a high volume of fire, usually with a high capacity magazine. Machine pistols are
too large to conceal, usually kept on a short sling.
Machine pistols are generally regarded as emergency weapons because of the small caliber they fire, the rapid fire, and the short
barrel, they are not suited for many roles that either a handgun, or a rifle solve more adequately. They have a niche market for
para-military and police forces that require rapid fire, but not the large size of a submachine gun or a rifle, also by gangsters who
require heavy firepower in a compact size.
A sub-machine guns is an automatic carbine, designed to fire pistol cartridges. It combines the automatic fire of a machine gun
with the cartridge of a pistol. Sub-machine guns go well with tactical slings, or patrol slings
Sub machine guns are generally suited for special units within police forces, such as SWAT, for their automatic fire. They are also
good for vehicle crews, who need firepower that is controllable, but can’t spare the size a rifle would take up.

11.6 Rifles
‘‘This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it
as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless.
Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I
must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill
me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will.’’ —Excerpt
from the Rifleman’s Creed
A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, with
a barrel that has a helical groove or pattern of grooves (‘‘rifling’’)
cut into the barrel walls. The raised areas of the rifling are called
‘‘lands,’’ which make contact with the projectile, imparting spin
around an axis corresponding to the orientation of the weapon.
When the projectile leaves the barrel, this spin lends gyroscopic
stability to the projectile and prevents tumbling, in the same way
that a properly thrown American football or rugby ball behaves.
This allows the use of aerodynamically-efficient pointed bullets (as
opposed to the spherical balls used in muskets and shotguns) and
thus improves range and accuracy. The word ‘‘rifle’’ originally
referred to the grooving, and a rifle was called a ‘‘rifled gun.’’
Rifles are used in warfare, hunting and shooting sports.
The rifle is the backbone of every modern infantry army, and
nearly all countries have used them since the mid 1800s, which
were a massive upgrade from the smoothbore muskets, which
had troubles with accurate, precise fire because of their barrels.
Rifles were initially single-shot, muzzle-loading weapons. During
the 18th century, breech-loading weapons were designed, which
allowed the rifleman to reload while under cover, but defects in
manufacturing and the difficulty in forming a reliable gas-tight seal
prevented widespread adoption. During the 19th century, multi-
shot repeating rifles using lever, pump or bolt actions became
standard, further increasing the rate of fire and minimizing the
fuss involved in loading a firearm. The problem of proper seal
creation had been solved with the use of brass cartridge cases,
which expanded in an elastic fashion at the point of firing and
effectively sealed the breech while the pressure remained high,
then relaxed back enough to allow for easy removal. By the end
of the 19th century, the leading bolt-action design was that of Paul
Mauser, whose action—wedded to a reliable design possessing
a five-shot magazine—became a world standard through two
world wars and beyond. The Mauser rifle was paralleled by
Britain’s ten-shot Lee-Enfield and America’s 1903 Springfield Rifle
models.
Rifles are split into categories by their size, accessories,
actions, and use.
When selecting a rifle, a character should always consider
many things, such as what the role they plan to play with that rifle,
the ammunition type, caliber, and accessories they will take use
of. Rifles are best complimented with a variety of upgrades, and
should take full use of them. Rifles are less personal weapons,
more utilitarian weapons that are used and employed when
needed, and stowed away when not.
11.6.0.1 Bolt Action Bolt action is a type of firearm action
in which the weapon’s bolt is operated manually by the opening
and closing of the breech (barrel) with a small handle, most
commonly placed on the right-hand side of the weapon . As the
handle is operated, the bolt is unlocked, the breech is opened,
the spent cartridge case is withdrawn and ejected, the firing pin
is cocked (this occurs either on the opening or closing of the
169
bolt, depending on design), and finally a new round/cartridge is
placed into the breech and the bolt closed. Bolt action firearms
are most often rifles, but there are some bolt-action shotguns as
well. Examples of this system date as far back as the early 19th
century, notably in the Dreyse needle gun. From the late 19th
century, all the way through both World Wars, the bolt-action
rifle was the standard infantry firearm for most of the world’s
militaries.
In military and law enforcement use, the bolt action has
been mostly replaced by semi-automatic and selective fire
weapons, though the bolt action remains the dominant design
in sniper rifles. Bolt action firearms are still very popular for
hunting and target shooting. Compared to most other manually
operated firearm actions, it offers an excellent balance of strength
(allowing powerful chamberings), ruggedness, reliability, and
potential accuracy, all with light weight and low cost. The major
disadvantage is a marginally lower practical rate of fire than
other manual repeating firearms, such as lever-action and pump-
action, and a far lower practical rate of fire than semi-automatic
weapons, but this is not an important factor in many types of
hunting and target shooting.
11.6.0.2 Lever Action Lever-action is a type of firearm
action which uses a lever located around the trigger guard area,
(often including the trigger guard itself) to load fresh cartridges
into the chamber of the barrel when the lever is worked. Most
lever-action firearms are rifles, but lever-action shotguns and
a few pistols have also been made. One of the most famous
lever-action firearm is undoubtedly the Winchester rifle, but many
manufacturers—notably Marlin and Savage—also produce lever-
action rifles.
While lever-action rifles were (and are) popular with hunters
and sporting shooters, they were not widely accepted by the
military. One significant reason for this was that it is harder to fire
a lever-action from the prone position (compared to a bolt-action
rifle), and while nominally possessing a greater rate of fire than
bolt-action rifles, lever-action firearms are also generally fed
from a tubular magazine, which limits the ammunition that can
be used in them. Pointed center fire Spitzer bullets, for example,
can cause explosions in a tubular magazine, as the point of each
cartridge’s projectile rests on the primer of the next cartridge in
the magazines. The tubular magazine may also have a negative
impact on the harmonics of the barrel, which limits the theoretical
accuracy of the rifle. A tubular magazine under the barrel also
pushes the center of gravity forward, which alters the balance of
the rifle in ways that are undesirable to some shooters. However
there are some lever rifles, such as the Winchester Model 1895
which saw service with the Russian Army in World War I, that use
a box magazines.
Due to the higher rate of fire and shorter overall length than
most bolt-action rifles, lever actions have remained popular to
this day for sporting use, especially short- and medium-range
hunting in forests, scrub, or bushland. Lever-action firearms
have also been used in some quantity by prison guards in the
United States, as well as by wildlife authorities/game wardens in
many parts of the world. An additional advantage over typical
bolt-action rifles is the lack of handedness: lever-actions like
pump-actions are frequently recommended as ambidextrous in
sporting guidebooks.
170
11.6.0.3 Pump Action A pump-action rifle is one in which
the handgrip can be pumped back and forth in order to eject a
spent round of ammunition and to chamber a fresh one. It is much
faster than a bolt-action and somewhat faster than a lever-action,
as it does not require the trigger hand to be removed from the
trigger whilst reloading.
The cycling time of a pump-action is quite short, often less
than that of some semi-automatic designs. The manual operation
gives a pump-action the ability to cycle rounds of widely varying
power that a gas or recoil operated firearm would fail to cycle.
The simplicity of the pump-action relative to a semi-automatic
design also leads to improved durability and lower cost. It has
also been noticed that the time taken to work the action allows the
operator to identify and aim on a new target, avoiding a ‘‘spray
and pray’’ usage. An advantage of the pump-action over the
bolt-action is its ease of use by both left- and right-handed users:
like lever-actions, pump-actions are frequently recommended as
ambidextrous in sporting guidebooks.
Like most lever-action rifles, most pump action rifles do not
use a detachable magazines. This makes for slow reloading, as
the cartridges have to be inserted individually into the firearm,
which can take more time to reload.
11.6.0.4 Self Loading A semi-automatic, or self-loading
rifle is a weapon which performs all steps necessary to prepare
the weapon to fire again after firing—assuming cartridges remain
in the weapon’s feed device or magazines. Typically, this includes
extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge case from the weapon’s
firing chamber, re-cocking the firing mechanism, and loading
a new cartridge into the firing chamber. Although automatic
weapons and selective fire firearms do the same tasks, semi-
automatic firearms do not automatically fire an additional round
until the trigger is released and re-pressed by the person firing
the weapon.
While all basic firearm actions require the action to be cycled
manually before the first shot, semi-automatic as well as automatic
and selective fire actions are differentiated from other forms
such as pump-action, bolt-action, or lever-action firearms by
eliminating the need to manually cycle the weapon after each
shot. For example, to fire ten rounds from a semi-automatic
firearm or a selective fire weapon set to fire semi-automatically,
the action would initially be cycled to load the first round and
the trigger would need to be pulled ten times (once for each
round fired). For the other forms, the weapon’s mechanism
would require cycling manually prior to firing the next round.
An automatic or a selective fire weapon set to fire automatically
would be able to fire continuously as long as the trigger is held
until the magazine or feed device runs out of ammunition.
Advantages of this type of action is that the weapon can
fire much faster than any other type of action, without having to
break sights on the target in order to ready another round.
The disadvantage are that a self loading weapon is almost
always more mechanically complex than any other type of action,
and requires more maintenance, as well as more room for failure.
11.6.1 Modern Carbines
A carbine is a longarm similar to, but shorter than, a rifle.
Many carbines are shortened versions of full rifles, firing the
same ammunition at a lower velocity due to a shorter barrel
length, and as such, the range for carbines is usually less than
their rifle counterparts.
The smaller size and lighter weight of carbines makes them
easier to handle in close-quarter situations such as urban or
jungle warfare, or when deploying from military vehicles. The
disadvantages of carbines relative to rifles include inferior long-
range accuracy and a shorter effective range. Being larger than a
submachine gun, they are harder to maneuver in tight encounters
where superior range and stopping power at distance are not
great considerations. Firing the same ammunition as rifles gives
carbines the advantage of standardization over those personal
defense weapons (PDWs) that require proprietary cartridges.
One of the more unusual classes of carbine is the pistol caliber
carbine. These first appeared soon after metallic cartridges
became common. These were developed as "companions" to
the popular revolvers of the day, firing the same cartridge but
allowing more velocity and accuracy than the revolver.
The primary advantages of a pistol caliber carbine are
increased accuracy due to the buttstock and longer barrel (and
with it, sight radius), relatively low muzzle blast/flash/recoil,
higher muzzle velocity and energy of a longer barrel for
increased wounding potential and penetration (depending on the
particular load used), and greater adaptability for easily accepting
accessories such as optics, weapon lights, and lasers.
One less-noted advantage of PCCs is their lower muzzle report
compared to more powerful rifles; because they are less noisy
when fired, they are less likely to cause permanent hearing
damage when fired indoor without hearing protection - this can
be an important consideration during home defense situations.
Compared to "regular" carbines/rifles (such as those in .223
Rem and 7.62x39mm), pistol-caliber carbines may suffer from a
shorter effective range, more pronounced trajectory, less power,
and less effectiveness against body armor.
Carbines are issued to high-mobility troops such as special-
operations soldiers and paratroopers, as well as to mounted,
supply, or other non-infantry personnel whose roles do not
require full-sized rifles. Carbine rifles go well with tactical slings,
or patrol slings, and the same accessories that would be outfitted
on a full size rifle.

11.6.2 Modern Assault, Battle, and Target Rifles

An assault rifle is an automatic rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles are the standard
infantry weapons in most modern armies. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for
sustained automatic fire in a light support role, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge.
The term assault rifle is a translation of the German word Sturmgewehr (literally "storm rifle", as in "to storm a position"). The
name was coined by Adolf Hitler to describe the Maschinenpistole 43, subsequently renamed Sturmgewehr 44, the firearm generally
considered the first assault rifle that served to popularize the concept and form the basis for today’s modern assault rifles.
The translation assault rifle gradually became the common term for similar firearms sharing the same technical definition as the
StG 44. In a strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle: It must be
an individual weapon with provision to fire from the shoulder (i.e. a buttstock); It must be capable of selective fire, It must have
an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle, Its ammunition must be
supplied from a detachable magazine rather than a feed-belt. And it should at least have a firing range of 300 meters (1000 feet).
Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are technically not assault rifles despite frequently being considered as such. For
example, semi-automatic-only rifles that share designs with assault rifles are not assault rifles, as they are not capable of switching to
automatic fire and thus are not selective fire capable, and are noted as target rifles. Belt-fed weapons or rifles with fixed magazines
are likewise not assault rifles because they do not have detachable box magazines.
The term "assault rifle" is often more loosely used for commercial or political reasons to include other types of arms, particularly
arms that fall under a strict definition of the battle rifle, or semi-automatic variant of military rifles such as AR-15s.
The US Army defines assault rifles as “short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between
submachinegun and rifle cartridges.”
A battle rifle is a military service rifle that fires a full power rifle cartridge, such as 7.62x51mm NATO. While the designation of
battle rifle is usually given to post-World War II select fire infantry rifles such as the H&K G3, the FN FAL, or the M14, this term can
also apply to older military bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles such as the Mauser 98k or the M1 Garand. The battle rifle’s power
and long-range accuracy are intended to engage targets at long distances, but this comes with a trade-off of length and weight that
make it relatively cumbersome in close-quarter combat.
Recently, however, there has been a general backlash against carbines and light rifles in many armies around the world due to
their having less range, penetration and power than battle rifles. Recent conflicts in desert environments have underscored the need
for greater range while developments in body armor have created a need for more powerful munitions. A consequence of this
was the creation of the Squad Designated Marksman program in the U.S. Army and the Squad Advanced Marksman in the U.S.
Marine Corps. The role of the designated marksman is to fill the "marksmanship gap" between the rifleman and the sniper. Instead
of relying on the use of smaller, lighter weapons with a higher rate of fire to hit a target, these programs place greater emphasis on
marksmanship training, allowing the squad to take advantage of the greater range and power of heavier weapons. This has marked
the return of battle rifles in the form of Marksman rifles, which are discussed next section.
Target rifles are semi automatic rifles that use a varying degrees of cartridges, from the lighter assault rifle cartridges, to the
heavier Battle rifle cartridges. Target rifles may retain and appear to be exactly like assault and battle rifles, even down to having
part and magazine compatibility, but target rifles have a semi-automatic rate of fire only.
Assault rifles, battle rifles, and target rifles go well with a multitude of upgrades based on their use, and can take advantage of a
wide variety of upgrades.

11.6.3 Designated Marksman Rifles

A designated marksman rifle (DMR) is the weapon used by soldiers in the designated marksman role. The DM role fills the gap
between a regular infantryman and a sniper and DMRs have been developed with this middle ground in mind.
These rifles have to be effective, in terms of accuracy and terminal ballistics, at ranges exceeding those of ordinary assault rifles,
but do not require the extended range of a dedicated sniper rifle.
DMRs, however, often share some basic characteristics with sniper rifles in difference to the weapons carried by others in the DMs
unit. DMRs may have an attached telescopic sight, quickly deployed stabilizing bipod to allow optimized accuracy and low-recoil in
temporarily fixed situations or an adjustable stock. They will, though, generally retain semi-automatic firing capability (more rapid
than bolt-action sniper rifles) and a larger magazine capacity of 10, 20, or 30 rounds depending on the firearm in question.

11.6.4 Bolt Action and Sniper Rifles

In military and law enforcement terminology, a sniper rifle is a precision-rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets
at longer ranges than other small arms. A typical sniper rifle is built for optimal levels of accuracy, fitted with a telescopic sight and
chambered for a military center fire cartridge. The term is often used in the media to describe any type of accurized firearm fitted
with a telescopic sight that is employed against human targets, although "sniping rifle" or "sniper’s rifle" is the technically correct
fashion to refer to such a rifle.
The military role of a sniper, dates back to the turn of the 18th century, but the true sniper rifle is a much more recent development.
Advances in technology, specifically that of telescopic sights and more accurate manufacturing, allowed armies to equip specially
trained soldiers with rifles that enable them to deliver precise shots over greater distances than regular infantry weapons. The rifle
itself could be based on a standard rifle (at first, a bolt-action rifle); however, when fitted with a telescopic sight, it becomes a sniper
rifle.
Modern Sniper Rifles can be divided into two classes: Military and Law Enforcement
• Military Sniper rifles aimed at military service are often designed for very high durability, range, reliability, sturdiness,
serviceability and repairability under adverse environmental and combat conditions, at the sacrifice of a small degree of
accuracy. Military snipers and sharpshooters may also be required to carry their rifles and other equipment for long distances,
making it important to minimize weight. Military organizations often operate under strict budget constraints, which influences
the type and quality of sniper rifles they purchase.
• Law Enforcement Sniper rifles built or modified for use in law enforcement are generally required to have the greatest
possible accuracy, more than military rifles, but do not need to have as long a range. As law enforcement-specific rifles are
usually used in non-combat (often urban) environments, they do not have the requirement to be as hardy or portable as
military versions; nevertheless they may be smaller, as they do not need very long range. Some of the first sniper rifles
designed specifically to meet police and other law-enforcement requirements were developed for West German police after
the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Many police services and law enforcement organizations (such as the U.S.
Secret Service) now use rifles designed for law enforcement purposes.
Bolt action rifles and sniper rifles, because of their use, will almost always use a scope of high magnification(at least x3),and a
bipod. Accessories such as lasers, custom built stocks, and modified barrels are often built in as well, to achieve the best possible
shot.

‘‘We should have fuckin’ shotguns’’ —Vincent Vega
A shotgun (also known as a scattergun and peppergun, or historically as a fowling piece) is a firearm that is usually designed to
be fired from the shoulder, which uses the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot, or a solid
projectile called a slug. Shotguns come in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from .22 inch bore up to 2 inch bore, and in a range
of firearm operating mechanisms, including breech loading, single-barreled, double or combination gun, pump-action, bolt-, and
lever-action, semi-automatic, and even fully automatic variants.
A shotgun is generally a smoothbore firearm, which means that the inside of the barrel is not rifled. Preceding smoothbore
firearms, such as the musket, were widely used by armies in the 18th century. The direct ancestor to the shotgun, the blunderbuss,
was also used in a similar variety of roles from self defense to riot control. It was often used by cavalry troops due to its generally
shorter length and ease of use, as well as by coachmen for its substantial power. However, in the 19th century, these weapons
were largely replaced on the battlefield with breechloading rifled firearms, which were more accurate over longer ranges. The
military value of shotguns was rediscovered in the First World War, when American forces used 12-gauge pump action shotguns in
close-quarters trench fighting to great effect. Since then, it has been used in a variety of roles in civilian, law enforcement, and
military applications.
The shot pellets from a shotgun spread upon leaving the barrel, and the power of the burning charge is divided among the
pellets, which means that the energy of any one ball of shot is fairly low. In a hunting context, this makes shotguns useful primarily
for hunting birds and other small game. However, in a military or law enforcement context, the large number of projectiles makes
the shotgun useful as a close quarters combat weapon or a defensive weapon. Shotguns are also used for target shooting sports
such as skeet, trap, and sporting clays.
In the US and Canada, shotguns are widely used as a support weapon by police forces. One of the rationales for issuing
shotguns is that even without much training, an officer will probably be able to hit targets at close to intermediate range, due to the
‘‘spreading’’ effect of buckshot. This is mainly a myth, due to the fact that the spread of shotgun at 25 ft, averages 8 inches, being
very capable of missing a target. Some police forces are replacing shotguns in this role with carbine rifles such as AR-15s. Shotguns
are also used in roadblock situations, where police are blocking a highway to search cars for suspects. In the US, law enforcement
agencies often use riot shotguns, especially for crowd and riot control where they may be loaded with less-lethal rounds. Shotguns
are also often used as breaching devices to defeat locks.
The downside to Shotguns, is that the shot quickly expends its energy as the pellets fly farther, making them poor long range
weapons, and even less-than-desirable medium range weapons. Shotguns, unlike any other weapon in Ops and Tactics, have their
range penalties affect both their total damage, as well as their attack bonus.
Shotguns, like Rifles, are separated by their actions.

11.7.0.1 Break Action For most of the history of the shotgun, the break-action breech loading double was the most common
type, typically divided into three subtypes: the traditional ‘‘side by side’’ shotgun features two barrels mounted one beside the other
(as the name suggests), the ‘‘over and under’’ shotgun has the two barrels mounted one on top of the other, and the single barrel
shotgun. Side by side shotguns were traditionally used for hunting and other sporting pursuits (early long barreled side-by side
shotguns were known as Fowling Pieces for their use hunting ducks and other birds), whereas over and under shotguns are more
commonly associated with sporting use (such as clay pigeon/skeet shooting). Both types of double-barrel shotgun are used for
hunting and sporting use, with the individual configuration largely being a matter of personal preference. Single barrel shotguns can
be used for either use as well, but the single shot doesn’t permit a user to participate in certain types of clay shooting.
Most Break action shotguns have two triggers, allowing the user to fire the barrel they prefer, which each may be loaded with
different loads, or fire both barrels at the same time, for twice the load at a target. The downside to having two separate triggers is
that the user must shift their hand in order to be able to manipulate each trigger. A newer style is to have a single trigger that fires
one barrel first, then the other, in a predetermined sequence, that is reset when the action is broken and reloaded. The advantage to
this is that the user doesn’t have to shift their grip in order to fire quickly, but looses the ability to fire both barrels at once.
• Side-by-Side (SxS) shotguns have −1 attack penalty when aiming at the same target on the second shot, but a +1 attack bonus
when aiming at a target adjacent to the first.
• Over-and-Under (OxU) shotguns have no attack bonus or penalty.

11.7.0.2 Pump Action In pump-action shotguns, a sliding forearm handle (the pump) works the action, extracting the spent
shell and inserting a new one while cocking the hammer or striker as the pump is worked. A pump gun is typically fed from a
tubular magazine underneath the barrel, which also serves as a guide for the pump. The rounds are fed in one by one through a
port in the receiver, where they are lifted by a lever called the elevator and pushed forward into the chamber by the bolt. A pair of
latches at the rear of the magazine hold the rounds in place and facilitate feeding of one shell at a time. If it is desired to load the
gun fully, a round may be loaded through the ejection port directly into the chamber, or cycled from the magazine, which is then
topped off with another round. Well-known examples include the Winchester Model 1897, Remington 870 and Mossberg 500/590.
Pump-action shotguns are common hunting, fowling and sporting shotguns. Hunting models generally have a barrel between 24
and 28 inches. They can also easily be used with an empty magazine as a single-shot weapon, by simply dropping the next round
to be fired into the open ejection port after the spent round is ejected. Pump action shotguns with shorter barrels and no barrel
 195

choke (or very little) are highly popular for use in home defense, military and law enforcement, and are commonly known as riot
guns. The minimum barrel length for shotguns in most of the U.S. is 18’’ and this barrel length is the primary choice for riot shotguns.
The shorter barrel makes the weapon easier to maneuver around corners and in tight spaces, though slightly longer barrels are
sometimes used outdoors for a tighter spread pattern or increased accuracy of slug projectiles. Home-defense/law enforcement
shotguns are usually chambered for 12-gauge shells, providing maximum shot power and the use of a variety of projectiles such as
00 Buckshot, rubber, sandbag and slug shells, but 20-gauge (common in bird-hunting shotguns) or .410 (common in youth-size
shotguns) are also available in defense-type shotgun models allowing easier use by novice shooters.
A riot shotgun has many advantages over a handgun or rifle. Compared to ‘‘defense-caliber’’ handguns (chambered for
9x19mm Parabellum, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP and similar), a shotgun has far more power and damage potential,
allowing a ‘‘one-shot stop’’ that is more difficult to achieve with typical handgun loads. Compared to a rifle, riot shotguns are easier
to maneuver due to the shorter barrel, still provide better damage potential at indoor distances (generally 3-5 meters/yards), and
reduce the risk of ‘‘overpenetration’’; that is, the bullet or shot passing completely through the target and continuing beyond, which
poses a risk to those behind the target through walls. The wide spread of the shot reduces the importance of shot placement
compared to a single projectile, which increases the effectiveness of ‘‘point shooting’’ - rapidly aiming simply by pointing the weapon
in the direction of the target. This allows easy, fast use by novices.
Pump action shotguns lacking a trigger disconnector can be slamfired, on purpose or otherwise, if the trigger is kept depressed
whilst cycling the action. This permits a user to rapidly spray shells onto a target area and perform slamfire attacks.
Pump action shotguns have no attack bonus or penalty.

11.7.0.3 Lever Action Early attempts at repeating shotguns invariably centered around either bolt-or lever-action designs,
drawing inspiration from contemporary repeating rifles, with the earliest successful repeating shotgun being the lever-action
Winchester M1887, designed by John Browning at the behest of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company.
Lever shotguns, while less common, were popular in the late 19th century with the Winchester Model 1887 and Model 1901 being
prime examples. Initially very popular, demand waned after the introduction of pump-action shotguns at the turn of the century, and
production was eventually discontinued in 1920.
One major issue with lever-actions (and to a lesser extent pump-actions) was that early shotgun shells were often made of
paper or similar fragile materials (modern hulls are plastic or metal). As a result the loading of shells, or working of the action of the
shotgun, could often result in cartridges getting crushed and becoming unusable, or even damaging the gun.
Lever shotguns have seen a return to the gun market in recent years, however, with Winchester producing the Model 9410
(chambering the .410 bore shotgun shell and using the action of the Winchester Model 94 series lever-action rifle, hence the name),
and a handful of other firearm manufacturers producing versions of the Winchester Model 1887/1901 designed for modern 12-gauge
smokeless shotshells with more durable plastic casings.

11.7.0.4 Autoloading Gas, inertia, or recoil operated actions are other popular methods of increasing the rate of fire of a
shotgun; these are generally referred to as autoloaders or semi-automatics. Instead of having the action manually operated by a
pump or lever, the action automatically cycles each time the shotgun is fired, ejecting the spent shell and reloading a fresh one
into the chamber. The first successful semi-automatic shotgun was John Browning’s Auto-5, first produced by Fabrique Nationale
beginning in 1902. Other well-known examples include the Remington 1100, Benelli M1, and Saiga-12.
Some, such as the Franchi SPAS-12 and Benelli M3, are capable of switching between semi-automatic and pump action. These
are popular for two reasons; first, some jurisdictions forbid the use of semi-automatic actions for hunting, and second, lower-powered
rounds, like many less lethal cartridges, have insufficient power to reliably cycle a semi-automatic shotgun.
Autoloading shotguns also encompasses shotguns that are fully automatic, such as the Daewoo USAS-12 and the AA-12.

11.7.1 Modern Sporting Shotguns

A Sporting shotgun is a shotgun that focuses on accuracy, rather than ammo capacity. Sporting shotguns are simple to maintain,
use, and clean. Most sporting shotguns are aimed at a particular sport, usually game hunting, for rifled barrels using slugs, or for
fowl and clay shooting, with choked barrels. Sporting shotguns usually have lower capacities than their combat counterparts, but
also less expensive, as they don’t have to take the daily beatings of a combat shotgun, and thus don’t need to be over engineered
as such.

11.7.2 Modern Combat Shotguns

A combat shotgun is a shotgun that focuses on close quarters combat and capacity, rather than precision. Combat shotguns
typically have much shorter barrels than shotguns for hunting and usually, though not always, have magazines of modified design
to hold more than the 3 to 5 shots normal with sporting or hunting shotguns. Most combat shotguns have tubular magazines to
hold the cartridges, mounted underneath the barrel, identical to those of hunting shotguns except for being longer to hold more
ammunition, though some recent designs have detachable box magazines. Because of these, combat shotguns can tend to be more
expensive than their sporting counterparts.

11.8 Machine Guns
[Reading what McClane wrote on the
dead terrorist’s shirt] ‘‘Now I have a
machine gun. Ho ho ho.’’ —Hans Gruber
A machine gun is a fully automatic
mounted or portable firearm, usually
designed to fire rounds in quick succession
from an ammunition belt or large-capacity
magazine, typically at a rate of several
hundred rounds per minute.
Machine guns are generally catego-
rized as machine guns or autocannons.
Machine guns are often portable to a
certain degree, but is generally used when
mounted on a stand or fired from the
ground on a bipod. Light machine guns
are small enough to be fired and hand held
like a rifle, but the gun is more effective
when fired from a prone position, while
General Purpose machineguns are almost
always too heavy to be fired and held like a
rifle, and are near required to be fired with
support. The difference between machine
guns and autocannons is based on caliber,
with autocannons using calibers larger than
16mm.
Man-Portable Machine guns are split
into two categories: Light and General Pur-
pose. Light machine guns are often used
as Squad Automatic Weapons, automatic
weapons used to give infantry squads a
portable source of automatic, focused fire,
that can be carried and maintained by
one member of the unit, while General
Purpose machine guns, which can be used
by one person, usually benefit greatly by
having other soldiers help in the aspect of
reloading, barrel changing, and carrying
ammunition, because of the weight.
The machine gun’s primary role in
modern ground combat is to provide
suppressive fire on an opposing force’s
position, forcing the enemy to take cover
and reducing the effectiveness of his fire.
This either halts an enemy attack or allows
friendly forces to attack enemy positions
with less risk. Because of this, most
machineguns do not even posses a selector
switch, and fire in automatic only mode.
Machineguns that used linked ammu-
nition can sometimes equip ammo boxes
to hold the rounds. These boxes come in
various sizes, and all boxes cost 3 WP.

Table 184: Modern Light Machine Guns

11.8.1 Modern Light Machine Guns
A light machine gun is a machine gun
designed to be employed by an individual
soldier, with or without an assistant, as an
infantry support weapon. Light machine
guns are often used as squad automatic
weapons. They often use belts of linked
ammunition, instead of loose rounds or
magazines.
Modern light machine guns often fire
smaller-caliber cartridges than medium
machine guns, and are usually lighter and
more compact. However a light machine
gun is defined by its usage as well as
its specifications: some machine guns -
notably general-purpose machine guns -
may be deployed either as a light machine
gun or a medium machine gun. Deployed
with a bipod, and firing short bursts it is a
light machine gun; if deployed on a tripod
and used for sustained-fire it is a medium
machine gun.

11.9 Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers, and Mortars

‘‘A bullet may have your name one it, but a grenade is labeled ’To whom it may concern’’’ —U.S. Military mantra
A grenade launcher or grenade discharger is a weapon that launches a grenade with more accuracy, higher velocity, and to
greater distances than a soldier could throw it by hand. Grenade launchers can either come in the form of standalone weapons
(either single-shot or repeating) or attachments mounted under the barrel of a rifle. Some rifles have been designed to fire rifle
grenades, either from their muzzle or from a detachable muzzle-mounted launcher.
Most grenade launchers are man-portable, shoulder-fired weapons issued on a squad level, though larger launchers are
sometimes mounted on armored vehicles. The most common grenade round in use by modern militaries is the 40 mm fragmentation
grenade, which is effective against a wide range of targets including infantry and lightly armored vehicles. The ability of the grenade
launcher to loft payloads in a high arc has resulted in many specialty grenades such as less-lethal sponge grenades.
A rocket launcher is any device that launches a rocket-propelled projectile, although the term is often used in reference to
mechanisms that are portable and capable of being operated by an individual. Weapon systems that fall into this category include
the shoulder-launched missile weapon, the wider international term for any weapon that fires a rocket-propelled projectile at a
target, yet is small enough to be carried by a single person, and fired while held on one’s shoulder. However, the term bazooka, is
also often used for any shoulder-launched rocket weapon.
Specific types of rocket launchers within this group include the rocket-propelled grenade, better known as the RPG, which is a
type of shoulder-launched anti-tank weapon designed by the Soviet Union; the anti-tank guided missile, a guided missile primarily
designed to hit and destroy heavily-armored tanks and other armored fighting vehicles; and the Man-portable air-defense systems,
which provides shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles.
A mortar is an indirect fire weapon that fires explosive projectiles known as (mortar) bombs at low velocities, short ranges, and
high-arcing ballistic trajectories. It is typically muzzle-loading. A mortar is relatively simple and easy to operate. A modern mortar
consists of a tube into which gunners drop a purpose-designed bomb. The tube is generally set at between 45 and 85 degrees angle
to the ground, with the higher angle giving shorter firing distances. The bomb has no cartridge case; the propellant is attached to the
bomb’s fins. When it reaches the base of the tube it hits a firing pin, which detonates the propellant and fires the projectile.
Mortars are portable, and usually used by infantry units. The chief advantage a mortar section has over an artillery battery is
the flexibility of small numbers, and mobility. Mortars are able to fire from the protection of a trench. In these aspects the mortar is
an excellent infantry support weapon, as it can be transported over any terrain and is not burdened by the logistical support needed
for artillery.
Backblast is a cone-shaped area behind a Rocket Launcher where hot gases are expelled when the rocket is fired. The backblast
area is dangerous to others, who may be burned by the gases or exposed to overpressure caused by the explosion. In confined
spaces, common in urban warfare, even the operators themselves may be at risk.
All rocket launchers when fired, create a 10’ cone directly behind them that deals 4d6 Fire damage to anyone standing in it.

11.11 Thrown Weapons
These weapons are thrown by the user, dealing damage without
the use of an outside power source.
Thrown Weapons as Melee Weapons
It’s not uncommon for a character to need to use a thrown
weapon as a melee weapon. Use the below statistics when
using a thrown weapon in a melee role.
• Brick Treat as if it were a melee weapon without
any range
• Javelin Treat as an Improvised Short Spear
• Throwing Axe Treat as an Improvised Hand Axe
A boomerang can only curve in one direction when it is thrown,
and for every 5’ it curves from the original starting axis, it must
move 10’. This is likewise for throwing a boomerang at distance.
Example: Curving a boomerang 15’ from the axis would
require 30’ of forward travel. Throwing a boomerang 40’
away would require it to curve out 20’.
The area for the boomerang to curve must be clear of
obstructions, otherwise it will strike the first object that it hits and
stop there. A boomerang is an exotic weapon and thus requires
an Exotic Melee Weapon proficiency to use without penalty. A
boomerang can be thrown out to a maximum of three range
increments.

Table 205: Barrel Upgrades

Telescopic Sight (Optics) A telescopic sight is a sighting device
that makes it easier to hit targets at long range. However, although
a scope magnifies the image of the target it has a very limited field
of view, making it difficult to use at close range. The telescopic
sight increases the range increment for a ranged weapon. To use
a scope a character must spend 6 Combat Points acquiring their
target. If the character changes targets or otherwise loses sight
of the target, they must reacquire the target to gain the benefit of
the scope. Any character attempting to attack a target within the
weapon’s first range increment suffers a −4 penalty to their attack
roll. Shotguns, machine-pistols, bows, crossbows, and handguns
do not gain the benefit of using any telescopic sight stronger than
3×, SMGs do not gain the benefit of using any telescopic sight
stronger than 6×, and carbine rifles do not gain the benefit from
using any telescopic sight stronger than 9×.
Rounded up to the nearest 5’
Adjustable Telescopic Sight (Optics) This accessory is an
adjustable telescopic sight, allowing for multiple magnification
levels in a single sight. It can be purchased in a variety of different
magnifications. Switching between magnification levels costs 12
Combat Points.
Thermal Sight (Optics) This accessory literally sees heat. It
negates all vision penalties for darkness and smoke with regard
to people, creatures, and objects warmer than the surrounding
scenery, but only when looking at sources of heat—ambient
or otherwise—between 60-120°F (outside this range, everything
appears cold blue or white hot). Further, a thermal sight cannot
register warmth through heat-shielded scenery or through any
scenery over 2 inches thick. If the accessory is purchased with
magnification it operates like an equivalent telescopic sight.

• 6.1×-9× Multiply range increment by 1.75
• 9.1×-12× Multiply range increment by 2
• 12.1×-15× Multiply range increment by 2.25
Night Vision Sight (Optics) Night vision optics amplify existing
low levels of visible and near-infrared light and convert them
to a monochrome visual image. In twilight or brighter lighting
conditions, a night vision sight is useless as the electronics shut
down to prevent damage. So long as at least Dim light is available,
this accessory negates the vision penalties applied by low ambient
light. The accessory can be purchased with magnification and
operates like an equivalent telescopic sight.

• 15.1×-18× Multiply range increment by 2.5

Standard Laser Sight (Optics/Tactical) This accessory

High Visibility Sights (Frame) These are sights with a built in

zero light. This upgrade reduces all concealment due to darkness

Adjustable Iron Sights(Frame) These are sights that can be

combat effectiveness and sleek design of combat styled sights.
This ugrade grants a +2 on the weapon’s 2nd range increment.
Canted Sights (Tactical) These are sights that are at a 45º
cant, allowing for a weapon with a telescopic sight to be used
with its iron sights. When using these sights, the weapon can
use its standard range even if it has a telescopic sight, but using
these sights grants a −10’ range penalty on any weapon they are
attached to.
Bipod (Tactical/Frame) A bipod gives a weapon additional
stability and improves aim under the right circumstances. To use
a bipod, a character must be able to place it on a solid surface at
roughly shoulder height. The most common method of using a
bipod is to fire from the prone position, so that the user’s shoulder,
like the weapon and the bipod, is close to the ground. However,
a weapon with a bipod can be used from a crouched or even
standing position if the bipod is set on a suitable surface. Only
Large or larger weapons can benefit from a bipod. A bipod used
with a Large weapon grants the user a +1 bonus on all attack
rolls. Any Huge or larger weapon must be used with a bipod or
other type of mount. Because the bipod or mount is a necessary
and standard part of such a weapon’s support, it does not grant
the +1 bonus on attack rolls that a bipod provides when it is used
with a Large weapon. Most bipods can be folded up for ease of
transport. Deploying a folded bipod costs 1 Combat Point.

Killflash (None) This is an adapter for telescopic sights that

3.14 Military
Military personnel are issued fatigues of their branch, as well
as a dress uniform, regardless of whether they are on or off duty.
If a character is on active duty in a combat area or on assignment,
the equipment for a character in the military profession is based
on what branch, type of classification, and country they belong to.
While on active duty in a combat area or on assignment military
personnel have the Military and Police license for free.

Ordained clergymen own traditional garb and text of their

4 Snipers
This supply drop is a supplement the main book on
instructions and hints involved with playing a sniper, that includes
focus and duties, types of snipers and the applicable gear they
should and do use, and the aspects of snipers in games from
both a player and GM standpoint.
4.1 What is a Sniper?
A sniper is a highly trained marksman who operates alone,
in a pair, or with a sniper team to maintain close visual contact
with the enemy and engage targets from concealed positions or
distances exceeding the detection capabilities of enemy personnel.
These sniper teams operate independently, with little combat asset
support from their parent units.
Snipers come in two forms: Military Snipers and Police Snipers.
A sniper is no good without tools. The first and foremost
important tool in a sniper’s arsenal is his rifle. The rifle is rarely
an off-the-shelf model, instead tuned and customized to that
particular sniper’s requirements and taste. It will have at least a
3× telescopic sight. It can be bolt action or semi-automatic, with
semi-automatic becoming more popular. It is also chambered in
a common, high-powered cartridge, such as the .308 Winchester,
5.56x45mm NATO, .338 Lapua Magnum, or .300 Winchester
Magnum. Snipers should also invest in upgrades that increase
the range and accuracy of their rifle, such as the heavy barrel
upgrade, match barrel upgrade, and ergonomic stock upgrade.
Snipers should also invest in a good sidearm, since the main
firearm is a long distance rife that performs poorly in close
ranges. A good handgun or compact machine-pistol makes a
proper sidearm.
A sniper should place themselves and strive to have a majority
of the engagement area to be within their 2nd range increment,
to maximize their effectiveness.
4.3 Playing a Sniper and GMing for a Sniper
Playing a sniper is vastly different from any other style of play.
Snipers should only play their role when there is at least some
time to setup and prepare for the oncoming battle. Instead of
choosing a spot within the battlefield, a sniper will sit off-grid, at a
specified distance from the battlefield, usually at a high vantage
point if possible. For the purpose of ranging shots, a token will be
placed on the corner of the battle map that represents the sniper’s
location, from that distance. Any shots taken by the sniper will
252

be calculated from that spot, and then the distance the sniper is the threat level of the encounter; and considering the encounter
away will be added to that distance. circumstances.
Snipers and spotters are also not apart of the standard initiative.
Instead of rolling for initiative, Snipers and their spotters can Character Enemy

determining the amount of opponents or hazards; calculating personal experience. Party experience is given to all characters

construction.
Taurus produces a number of variants on popular manufac-
turers, including Beretta, Colt, and Smith and Wesson. They
are known in the firearms industry for pushing the envelope on
designs, producing a 5 shot revolver that fires .410 bore shotgun
shells, and the first revolver with a polymer frame, as well as
various revolvers chambered for rounds traditionally thought of
as autoloader rounds, such as 9x19mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and
even some rifle rounds, such as the .30 Carbine.
Popular Firearms include their variant on the 1911, the PT92,
a Beretta 92F copy with a frame mounted safety, and the 24/7

10 Weapons in Use
This chapter talks about the general trends that firearms have
followed throughout the years, as well as trends that generally
follow for the armed citizen. In most campaigns, players should
be free to choose the weapons for their characters; however, if
they don’t know what to choose, this section can provide some
useful advice depending on what kind of campaign or setting is
being played. The information in this chapter, and more broadly,
this book, focuses on the United States and its firearm laws. For
other countries, similar firearms should be used, but they might
not be as common for some types of characters. For instance,
in the UK, a bartender might have a bat over a shotgun, but an
armored car guard will probably be armed along the same lines
as their US counterpart.
This chapter also covers what kinds of ammunition and
reserve weapons various organizations would have on hand, if
need called for them.
10.1 Local and State Law Enforcement
Local and State Law Enforcement encompasses the major
uniformed officers who deal with local and state crime,
investigating everything from petty thief and indecency calls,
all the way to statewide drug rings and murder sprees. They
generally do not contact Federal Agencies (or are contacted by
federal agencies), unless the case becomes a federal case, that
is, crosses state lines. They will often call in Federal Agencies
for guidance and assistance on things that are out of their scope,
such as profiling.
10.1.1 Small Police Station or Sheriff’s Department
A Small police station is a station that has less than 20 sworn in
officers or deputies. Because of this, service handgun restrictions
are generally lax, usually consisting of caliber requirement for
the selected handgun(From 9x19mm up to .45 ACP), and the
requirement that the officer or deputy be able to qualify and
display proper use and maintenance of their weapon. Because of
their size, officers and deputies are heavily stressed to carry
a backup weapon. Police stations and Sheriffs departments
of this size generally do not have their own SWAT team, and
usually have to ask a larger, nearby department, for assistance.
Service handgun habits for departments of this size span the
entire department, from the rookie Patrol Officer or Deputy, all
the way up to the Chief or Sheriff.
The armory may include between 1-5 extra boxes of JHP Ammo
for duty work, 6-8 boxes of 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot Ammo, and
3-5 12 Gauge pump action shotguns of assorted manufacturer.

10.3 The Underworld
The underworld encompasses the world of crime that exist as
a whole, spanning everything from petty drug dealers to crime
lords, Mafia bosses, and Set leaders, who control and run the
lower soldiers and gang members.
10.3.1 Petty Criminals
This group encompasses singular criminals, petty thieves, con-
men, and singular drug dealers. These criminals have their
fingers directly in the crime, though most of their crime is either
opportunistic, or for profit.
Low level criminals don’t have a specific group of firearms: they
can quite literally be caught with anything from a single shot pistol
from World War 2 to a Fully automatic assault rifle. As a general
rule, these criminals, if they go armed, generally use melee
weapons for their ease of acquisition, lack of restriction, simplicity
in use, and sometimes, added benefit of plausible deniability.
When they do carry firearms, they prefer any gun that can be
concealed, and is available. Because of their criminal records,
they can not go and purchase a firearm from a legal dealer,
instead opting for illegal street deals, or stealing a firearm.
10.3.2 Street Gangs
This group is a level above the unstructured criminal, and
includes street gangs with an identifiable power structure and
leader. These groups generally deal purely in profit, often coming
from the same neighborhood or of a similar race, creed, or
lifestyle. They usually also have a mutualistic interest: Money,
and work together because of it, and the chaos and criminalistic
activity they cause is merely a byproduct. They usually wear
identifying colors or pieces of clothing, such as certain colors, or
even leather jackets or vest with the club’s insignia.
Outlaw motorcycle gangs are atypical of this behavior, as the
chaos and criminalistic behavior are the desired ways of life, and
the criminal enterprise is a means to live, in order to continue the
life of chaos.
Smaller street gangs are generally equipped with concealable
handguns and pump-action shotguns, as these are the cheapest
to acquire, use, and replace, while the larger gangs may possess
heavier firepower such as automatic weapons such as assault
rifles, and even anti-materiel rifles.
Insurgents and Terrorist armament depends completely on

handgun series, the Walther PP Series, the SIG P290 and P238,and
the Glock 26, 27, and 28. These are usually tucked away inside
briefcases, bags, and under suit jackets.
10.3.4 Drug Cartels
A drug cartel is a criminal organization developed with the
primary purpose of promoting and controlling drug trafficking
operations. They can range from an agreement between two
street gangs to work together, all the way up to interstate and
even international, multi billion dollar formal industries.
While they have a similar structure to a common street gang,
their size, funding and training rivals legitimate governmental
agencies. Most soldiers in a drug cartel are trained in the
various arts of asymmetrical warfare, close-quarters combat,
weapons handling and maintenance, and some have even
received explosives handing and training. Most of this training
comes form legitimate state training, which the knowledge is then
passed down if an officer dissents.
Weapons carried by the cartel include, but are by no means
limited to, M16, M4, AK-47 and AKM assault rifles, shotguns of
every make and model, AT4 and M72 LAW rocket launchers, M79
Grenade launchers, and even Barret M82B anti-materiel rifles.
The ATF has come under firer for arming the drug cartels under
the guise of attempting to trace guns back to Mexico.
10.3.5 Assassins and Hitmen
Assassins are people who commit a targeted murder. Hit men
are assassins for hire.
Assassins and hit men’s method of killing can range from
poisoning to blowing up an entire car, but when firearms are
involved, they prefer to either fire from a long distance, using a
high powered rifle with a scope and possibly a suppressor, or
close range with a suppressed handgun, or machine pistol. They
also use a melee weapon, a knife usually, for truly quiet kills.
10.3.6 Gunrunners and Arms Traffickers
Gunrunners and arms traffickers are people who smuggle
contraband weapons and ammunition for a profit. They sell
their arms, acquired legally or otherwise, to anyone who has the
cash and need. Arms traffickers and gunrunners should not be
confused with people who sell firearms for legal commerce, such
as a legally operating gun store.
Because of their nature of business, they have the best selection
and quantity of weapons: it’s their business to have as such.
Gunrunners are generally heavily armed, either by choice or
simply by having stock, usually with a few handguns and an
assault rifle or two, as well as grenades, explosives, magazines,
ammunition, and anything else their customers would like to
sample. They also have a tendency to wear body armor, in order
to avoid getting killed by their own merchandise.
10.3.7 Insurgents and Terrorists
 267

10.4 Civilian Forces weapons in lieu of semi-automatic rifles and carbines, as well as
concealed handguns.
Civilian forces encompass regular people who have a mind to
carry a firearm for protection, specifically those who have to do
so as a part of a job, but are not law enforcement, or regular 10.4.6 Hunters

Chapter IX
Variant Rules
1 Level 5 Plus
This variant rule changes how characters level up, and slows
the progression of levelling up by maxing values out at half.
All characters gain all archetypal benefits until level 5. After
level 5, a character only receives half of the skill points (rounded
up) of their most prominent archetype and a singular feat per
level. They do not receive any other benefits for gaining a new
level. Because of how this is done, the new maximum level a
character can have is 15. After level 5, a character will receive a
new level every 5,000XP they gain.
2 Gridless Combat
Tactical affairs such as movement are best handled on a grid,
but for players who prefer the wargame type of movement, or
who do not want to be tied to a grid-like movement, this variant
rule gives them options.
The primary advantage of this variant is that it eliminates the
grid and the issues that come with it, such as moving diagonally,
and complicated aiming and throwing distances. It also makes
creating organic scenes using props much easier. All distance is
measured in a straight line.
5 feet in game is equivalent to 1 inch, and the recommended
miniatures sizes is 22mm. It is highly recommended that a tape
measure is on hand, and string and circular cutouts with 1 inch
notations. All ranges are rounded up to the nearest inch, when
needed.
Grenades, explosives, and any weapons with blast radius
work as normal. The blast radius is calculated as a diameter.(a
5 ft blast radius will be a circle 1 inch across, a 10 ft radius will
have a circle 2 inches across, etc). The diameter of the explosive
must only touch the miniature in order for it to be affected. For
the purpose of this variant rule, wounding radius is removed.
All creatures sized medium and less should be able to fit
into a 1 inch diameter circle, Large creatures will fit into a 2 inch
diameter circle, Huge creatures will fit into a 3 inch diameter
circle, Gargantuan creatures will fit into a 4 inch diameter circle,
and Colossal creatures will fit into a 5 inch or larger circle.
3 Overpenetration and Missed Shots
On a base level, Ops and Tactics ignores the aftereffects of
using improper ammunition when in combat, or when one misses
their shot. This variant rule adds the notion of missing or shooting
through your target.
3.1 Missing the intended target
If an attack roll results in a missed attack by a ranged weapon,
the projectile does not simply disappear. The projectile continues
on for 5 range increments in the direction it was fired until it
loses momentum force and lands on the ground or collides with
another object.
275
If an object or target is within the line of fire of the projectile,
the original attack roll is used to see if it collides with that target,
but the target is considered Flatfooted, as they are unaware that
the attack is even coming for them. If the roll succeeds, then it is
considered a hit and damage is rolled as it would be if it were a
normal attack.
3.2 Overpenetrating a target
When using FMJ/Lead, Wadcutter, Semi-Wadcutter, Armor
Piercing, Solid, or Match Grade cased ammo or Slug or Saboted
Slug shell ammo, if the ammunition does less than half of the
total possible damage to the target, the round has shot though
the target and has the possibility to hit someone else. Refer to
the rules for missing a target to handle what target was hit. If
a secondary target is hit, that target takes half the damage the
original target received. If the target is armored with armor that
provides DR to the attack, the rounds do not over-penetrate.
3.3 Uses for this rule
This rule can be used if you want to add a more simulation
type of play, where players will need to watch their crossfire and
be mindful of what’s behind their target, as well as not act as
recklessly with the wrong kinds of ammunition, and gives more
incentive for anti-personnel ammunition purchases.
4 Simple Firearms
These tables list firearms in various categories, as well as the
game statistics that go along with them.
• Magazine Size, Cost, and Type The size of all available
magazines for the firearm and what type of device the
firearm uses.
• Upgrade Points The type of upgrades the firearm can
accept. F Frame / B Barrel / O Optics / T Tactical
• Range Increment The range increment for the firearm. All
benefits from upgrades have been already calculated in
the weapon’s range increment.
• Rate of Fire
– Semi stands for semi-automatic, where the firearm
cycles itself for the next shot, and can perform a
single fire attack, a bump fire attack (if it meets all the
prerequisites), a double tap attack or a potshot attack.
– Auto stands for fully automatic, where the firearm can
perform an autofire attack, a suppressive fire attack,
a sweepfire attack, a sprayfire attack or five round
burst fire attack.
– 3RB stands for three round burst, which allows the
weapon to perform a three round burstfire attack.
– Single stands for single fire, where the firearm must
be reloaded after being fired. These types of weapons
can perform single fire attacks.
– Bolt & Pump Bolt stands for bolt action and Pump
stands for pump action, where the firearm’s bolt or
pump must be worked manually to eject the spent
casing or shell and cycle a new one. These weapons
can perform single and potshot attacks.
