Chapter 1

Custom Weapons

Description: The Choice of this Frame simply means that you choose one of the weapons listed in the Gear Room, and tell me what kind of Custom Options you want me to apply to it. The weapon will generally look a bit different from its common version even if the Options do not have a visible effect: the weapon will always look like a masterpiece and surely won't pass unnoticed as a common piece of artillery. Cosmetical add-on (like incision or bone crafted handgrip) are included as a free bonus for all those who care (at no additional cost and does not count against the Option Limit)

Additional Options Cost: Add a x1 multiplier to the Credit Cost for every Additional Option that you choose to install. This means that the total Cost if you wish your Custom Weapon to have 6 Options is the Base Weapon Cost x6. The Base Weapon Cost is the Cost listed in the Gear Room.

Description: This Frame represents any weapon that does not presently exist, like a giant Machine Gun or a Double Barreled Grenade Launcher (???). Such Weapon is built on a precise wish of the future owner and requires great coordination between the Customer (You) and the Gunsmith (Me). The result is always a unique piece of artillery usually not replycable on an industrial scale. (Such weapon statistics are to be concorded with the Storyteller by taking into account Weapons with a similar Frame already existing and modelling upon them a slightly stronger version. The Weapon efficiency will Reflect in the Weapon Credit Cost).

Additional Options Cost: For every Additional Option, the Credit Cost is Raised by 50%. Note that such increase adds up for every Option bought, so for the 2nd Additional Option bought the increase is of the 100% to the original price, not by increasing the 150% base price resulted from the fisrt Additional Option by another 50%.

Description: The Weapon is Rechambered to house a stronger version of its ammounition, thus increasing its offensive power.

Description: A Flash Suppressor together with a Silencer greatly increases the chances to pass unnoticed when the weapon is fired. Differently from the more common version, this Silencer is built fused to the weapon and doesn't need to be changed after any number of shots.

Game Effects: The Weapon is considered Silenced.

Weapons Allowed: All except Heavy.

Description: This Permits a better Long Distance Shooting by magnifing the target image.

Game Effects: Add +2 Dice to Accuracy on long distance aimed shooting.

Game Effects: Lowers by One the Difficulty to shoot only to single, aimed shoots.

Weapons Allowed: Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Bullet using Heavy Weapons.

Description: This Vents System is designed to expel the gasses generated from the shot from the top of the weapon, thus compensating for the recoil that would push the Barrel up. This lowers penalties for automatic fire, but the weapon cannot be silenced.

Game Effects: Shooting in Auto-Firo only raises difficulty by 1, intead of 2.

Weapons Allowed: All those having a single barrel and being capable of automatic fire.

Description: The weapon stock can be folded someway, thus requiring less space for transport. This Option can be also mounted on weapons which normally don't have stocks, in that case, it helps bettering weapon stability and, thus, precision.

Game Effects: Betters Concealability by one class for Long weapons, or raises it by 1 (if extended) for small ones, but lowers Difficulty to shoot by 1. If the weapon is fired without extending the stock, however, Difficulty raises by 1 due to bad balance or bad grip. (this does not apply to Sub-Machine Guns)

Weapons Allowed: All except Heavy.

Description: Fitted over the ejection port of a cased weapon, a brass catching bag collects the spent cases as they are ejected. This not only makes the weapon slightly quieter, it also collects the evidence of your firing rather than letting it be scattered across the area.

Game Effects: Prevents Intelligence from locating the shooter location, Avoids minor problems with spent cases (like getting underfoot).

Weapons Allowed: All except Heavy.

Description: When at extreme distances, even the slightest movement of the gun can be the difference between hitting and missing. A double set trigger is in two parts. The first part acts as a normal trigger, and the second acts as a hair trigger with a very light draw. At long range the first trigger is drawn back until the weapon is ready to fire, then it is fired using the second, lighter trigger so that the final trigger pull doesn't knock the weapon off target.
