	\| '''Switch Firing Modes''': The weapon has to have a speed of Fully Auto or faster to gain the Switch Firing Modes feature. The ability will allow the character to choose between Single Fire or Fully Auto. The default behavior of the weapon is Fully Auto/Super Fast and the is no change. If the weapon is switched to Single Fire mode then weapon gains the following stats. It gains a +2 to accuracy with an additional +1 for its size. Medium +1, Large +2, and Gigantic +3. The Critical Range goes up by 1, max 17-20. The Ammunition amount for the gun is considered doubled. However the weapon gets these penalties: The Critical Damage can only be x2 in this mode. The Hit Die goes down level if its seed is Fully Auto and two levels if its Super Faster.

	\| '''Fully Unload''': The weapon has to have a speed of Semi-Auto or faster to gain the Fully Unload feature. The clip must have more ~~then~~ 1/2, round up, of its uses left. And the Ammunition amount for the Weapon must be at least 2. This requires a Full Round action. The character has a choice. Focus on a single target for an automatic critical as long as the accuracy check was successful. Or shooting at targets in front of the character, with a 180degrees of view in the direction the character is facing, with the max number that can be hit equal ~~too~~ the ammunition that is left. The damage with this choice is the Hit Die one lower level of the weapon against each target. The weapon's ranged is halved. The weapon's Ammunition is completely spent. The weapon cannot preform this move again for 1d4 turns. Fully Unloading requires that the Character stand in front of the enemy and hold tight to there gun as it's empties all its ammunition. This gives all enemies within range to have advantage on accuracy checks against the Character for 1 round.

	\| '''Swift Reload''': The gun is configured in a way to make it extremely easy to quickly remove and replace an emptied mag. Making the process seam almost completely effortless. This allows the player to reload as a Simple action.

	\| '''Special Ammunition''': Some guns have to be modified and handled carefully to be able to load any other amo except the one specifically designed for it. However exceptions can be made. This allows the character to be able to apply special amo to the weapon. (Actually not ranged only. Melee weapons can have this application as a representation of exotic materials used make the weapon more deadly.

	\| '''Enhanced Combat Options''': This is a vague ability that is used to describe a couple of different types of enhancements. There ~~are~~ a list of combat techniques a character can do. To read up on them please review [[Techniques#Combat_Techniques\|Combat Techniques]] rules. This gives the weapon an ability bonus for these combat maneuvers if the weapon is used to assist in the maneuver. You can acquire this ability multiple times for different maneuvers or the same one. Each one provides ~~a major +4~~ advantage ~~to a~~ maneuver. However the same rules for advantage stacking apply here. To review read the rules [[Combat#Determining_Advantages_and_Disadvantages_.28Step_3.29\|here]]. Also remember that abilities require the necessary feat for your weapon type to be usable.		\| '''Enhanced Combat Options''': This is a vague ability that is used to describe a couple of different types of enhancements.

	\| '''Suppression Fire''': Also known as Suppressive or Covering Fire. This ability when declared requires a delayed action. It takes 3 times the uses out of the gun's Ammunition and thus the weapon must have at least 3 rounds left. However creates a wall of bullets/lazers or other deadly things that the target will have to subject itself to in order to move. The target would have to teleport out of the line of fire to avoid a Ranged delayed attack. The Character can choose to focus on a single target to help keep them from moving. Or they can declare a cone like area effect. A 90 degree cone with a range of weapon. Any enemy that moves within this cone is subject to a delayed attack action, up to 3 targets. The Character gains advantage to the accuracy check and a +1 for Bonus Damage per Weapon Level. If it is a single target then the Hit Die goes up a level. If it is a cone then the Hit Die goes down a level. Like Fully Unload however the Character is exposed. Any enemy not effected by the Suppression Fire gains advantage to accuracy checks while the Character is using this ability.		\| '''Suppression Fire''': Also known as Suppressive or Covering Fire.

	\| '''Intuitive''': are weapons that are commonplace for your Character or are extremely easy to use. They usually follow a standard design and are simple to learn. Take for example a pistol or rifle. Both still require time to master but the basic principle of handle/trigger/end with hole point toward bad guy concept is common knowledge.

Just like for Character in Future Path here there is a focus on bringing out the strengths and weaknesses of weapons. Weapons can either be plain/simple or be focused on a specific task with clear disadvantages and advantages.

	Below all the attributes that can help you customize your weapon there is a list of "Weapon Arch-Types." You can view these options as a sort of template for different styles of weapons. However, it is best to review all the options here to understand the arch-types better.

	\| All weapons start with a default Crit range of just 20. Meaning that the only way to have a critical hit is if a natural Twenty is rolled when doing an accuracy check. The range can be increased. However the limit to how much it can be increased by is based on the weapon speed unless it is a Melee Weapon then the max crit range is 17-20. However for ranged weapons it's based on speed: Single Fire and Manual's Max is the default 20. Semi-Auto is 19-20. Full Auto is 18-20 and Super-Fast is 17-20. However these are the limit that a Crit range can be. Simply what a weapon can be brought to via customizations on the gun itself. Character options/gadgets/amo can adjust this further. This customization costs 1 customization point. The Player cannot take a negative in this Attribute. This instantly increases the cost of the weapon by adding its Base Cost for each time this is improved.		\| All weapons start with a default Crit range of just 20.

	## Another Hint: Power Level and Speed Level are combined to create Weapon Level making the Hit Die an emergent property.

			# Finally you can calculate the cost of the weapon. In the [[Weapons#Weapon_Cost\|Weapon Cost]] section there is a table titled: "Weapon Cost Matrix (Melee/Ranged)". You can match the Tech Level of the Weapon with the actual Weapon Level to determine its cost. The table provides the base cost of both Melee and Range as well as the cost of adding customizations to that weapon.
			## Hint: At this point, if you have not already you will need to determine the Tech Level of the Weapon. The easiest choice is the Tech Level of the character that will be using it which usually defaults to Tech 2. Keep in mind that the higher the Tech level the more expensive and possibly more difficult the weapon is to acquire. Also, keep in mind that a higher tech level weapon will result in a higher proficiency requirement if the user of the weapon has a lower Tech level.

	;Levels of Speed: There are 5 Speed Levels and they start at level 0 with Single Fire and then Manual, Semi-Auto, Full Auto, Super-Faster. Super-Faster being the Level 4 Power level. This represents the '''rate of fire''' for the weapon. The difference between Single-Fire and Manual is that Single-Fire implies the weapon Ammunition is 1 which means it will need to be reloaded every time it is fired like a musket while Manual means that although it can only fire one round of Ammunition it can have a magazine which holds more rounds. A good example of this would be a revolver. All Melee is considered Manual, whereas all Archaic ranged weapons are considered Single-Fire.		;Levels of Speed: There are 5 Speed Levels and they start at level 0 with Single Fire and then Manual, Semi-Auto, Full Auto, Super-Faster.
