Shotgun: A gun 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. Advantages: Damage die is increased by one Weapon Level. (This doesn't affect the actual weapon level of the gun just the damage die) Disadvantages: Pellet/shot ammo will reduce the range of the weapon to 30ft. A slug is a normal range for the Power Level of the weapon. Misc: Rules Modification: Pellet/shot ammo changes the rules for this weapon. If you use Slug ammo this weapon acts as a normal weapon of its power level. Pellet, however, changes the range to just 30ft. To hit a target at 31-60ft the wielder takes double disadvantage to accuracy and looses two hit die level. You cannot hit a target beyond 60ft. If within the 30ft then all targets within a 30ft cone starting at the character get it. To learn about cone areas in combat go here. For all targets that got hit they receive half damage unless they are hit within 10 feet then they take full damage. If the weapon is using a Slug the range is the same for the weapon power level. However, the range penalty is doubled.

Sniper Rifle: Is a portable, high precision, shoulder-fired rifle, for military or law enforcement use, designed to ensure more accurate shooting at longer ranges than other weapons. Advantages: Weapon's effective range is tripled. The accuracy penalty is decreased by half.* Disadvantages: The weapon cannot benefit from a speed higher then semi-auto. The weapon's procure diff is +1 The price is increased by %50. Requirements: Power Level must at least be Medium Misc: Accuracy Penalty Summary: Each increment past the initial 'effective' range of a weapon the Character has to take a disadvantage that subtracts from there role. Normally the player would roll the Advantage die (for example a d6) and then subtract that from there accuracy check. In this case, they would roll a d6 and subtract halve round down from the accuracy check. If the Character has an advantage then instead of the disadvantage canceling out the advantage the player adds half of there Advantage roll to the accuracy check. To learn about advantages/disadvantages go here or Range increments go here.

Misc: Rules Modification: The weapon can be used to target an individual or a 5ft square. If the target is an enemy and they hit the damage is dealt but a 1d3 is also rolled (1d6 halved). This roll determines for how many rounds the damage will continue. This round of damage doesn't count as the first round. If the target is an area then the user doesn't have to roll for accuracy and can choose to keep spraying onto adjacent 5ft squares for each ammunition they have left. Any person that steps into the 5ft square that has been spared for the next 1d3 rounds gets damaged. If a critical is scored then roll 1d3 twice or the multiplier for Critical Damage (x2 thru x4).
