4-G: Weapons and Armor Tablepos
The following is a list of various and sundry implements of destruction to be wielded by both the HPs and EPs alike. Keep in mind that we do not purport any high degree of accuracy. This is a game, and the information is designed for play. If the Game Master desires or approves, detailed weapons statistics can be added for the campaign by weapons buffs!

4-G 1: Small Arms (Firearms)
First of all, all of these devices use their appropriate Sub-Area in the Weapons, Small Arms K/S, and, except in the case of some grenades, do "Firearm" damage. The following table shows the attack rates, the maximum number of targets among whom the attacks may be divided, and the number of shots in each type of weapon's magazine.

4-G 1 b: Shotguns
Ammunition costs around 25 cents per shell or 50 cents per shell for 00 buckshot or slugs. If slugs are used, add three to the Strike Location Multiplier, but reduce the Weapon Point rating to 5. Thus a sawed-off, large-bore shotgun firing slugs would have 5 Weapon Points but would do x4 damage on a "Non-Vital" hit! Also, when attacking with a shotgun don't forget to use a d6 Exposure roll for the target.

4-G 1 d: Sub-Machine Guns
Handle ammo as per pistols or rifles. Note that these weapons are all fully automatic. Like pistols, these devices may be fitted with laser sights. Silencers/Flash suppresors are possible but rare, and cost 100% of the price of the weapon.
