Combination Weapons
The LeMat revolver (carbine versions
were also made) dates back to the mid-1800's; several Confederate officers
used the gun. It is a monster handgun, a nine-shot side-gate-loading .44
revolver with a .65 muzzle-loading shotgun barrel acting as the cylinder
axis. Though of poor reliability, it was still a fearsome weapon.

Ithaca Turkey Gun (historical)
This is an over/under combination gun,
combining a 12-gauge under a .222 rifle. Each barrel is single shot and
a telescopic sight is usually fitted. Similar weapons (with comparable
performance) are available.

Designed for the USAF to be used by
downed pilots, the survival gun is an over/under arrangement firing .22
LR and .410-gauge rounds. The gun folds in half for easy storage and spare
ammo is stored in a box built into the skeletal stock (30-40 .22 rounds,
4-5 .410 shells).

A weird combination gun using a slide
action, it consists of a tube-fed 12-gauge shotgun over a 5.56mm carbine.
There is only one trigger; a switch selects which chamber is loaded when
the slide is operated and barrel is fiewd when the trigger is pulled. The
removable tube holds four shotgun shells and any M16-type magazine can
be used with the rifle. Normal vision aids may be used and a sling is included.
The gun is designed to be used by law enforcement and security details.

Dysonian Arms SAW-7D (original)
The SAW is a combination gun, 7mmC
LMG with a .5-inch gyroc launcher underneath. The LMG ammo is carried under-rifle
in a 200 round drum, costs $75 and weighs 12 lbs. The 10 round gyroc magazine,
forward of the MG mag, weighs 1.5 lbs. The SAW is almost exclusively hip-fired
from a sling.

Miscellaneous Weapons
M25 Antipersonnel Mine (historical)
Typical of most TL 6 mines, the M25 (1/6 lb) is designed to injure rather than kill. It creates an upward blast doing 1d+2 damage to the victim's foot (50% chance for either). It can also puncture truck/car tires.
M16A1 Antipersonnel Mine (historical)
The M16A1 is a pressure or tripwire activated mine that shoots a shell 1 yard into the air, which detonates to do send steel balls (doing 1d damage) over a 30 yard radius. Roll for random hit location with a +2 (5/6 of vitals hits are to the groin). It weighs 8 lbs.
M19 Antitank Mine (historical)
Make almost entirely of plastic, the M19 carries 19.5 lbs of C-4. It weighs 28 lbs and has a blast radius of 48 yards. It can also be used as a demolition charge.
M112 C-4 Demolition Block (historical)
The M112 weighs 1.25 lbs and has a 6.75 yard blast radius. One side has an adhesive that will stick to any dry surface. It can create a 1 foot hole through 10mm steel or a 2 foot hole through 10 cm rock/concrete.
This mine acts like a giant shotgun shell. It has a range of 100 yards, spreading the pellets in a fan 50 yards wide and 2 yards high. Damage is 1d, and each pellet has a to-hit of 9, with 2d+3 pellets having a chance to hit any one target (or hex of target). Weight is 3.5 lbs. TL 7.
A light crossbow designed for one-hand
use. $5 and 1 lb per 10 bolt pack (includes an extra bowstring). A compound
version is also available.

This is an aluminum police baton which
has a single shot 12ga shotgun built in. As a baton, it is difficult to
break (1 in 6) and uses Shortsword skill. Made in Brazil.

Combat Knife, Firing (historical)
Two types are available: a large knife
with a 4-shot .22LR derringer built into the handle, and a folding pocket
knife with 3-round .22 Short.
| Dam | Malf | SS | Acc | 1/2D | Max | Mag | ROF | Str | Rcl | Cost | Wt | |

Though the balls are normally filled
with paint, it is possible to use other fillers (such as gasoline, phosphorous,
etc), or a dart.

Ammunition and Modifications
In general, auxillary shells allow the use of pistol ammunition in rifles of the same caliber, and are mainly of use to hunters. The auxillary shell itself is an empty case into which the pistol round is placed, so that the complete round can fit in the rifle's chamber. Due to recoil physics, such rounds are usually limited to manual-action (bolt, lever, single/double-shot) rifles (the lower-powered pistol rounds would almost always jam a semi-automatic rifle).
In Europe, shotguns are more often referred to by their bore in mm rather than gauge. The equivalents are: .410g = 12.6mm, 28g = 13.8mm, 20g = 15.7mm, 16g = 16.8mm, 12g = 18.2mm, 10g = 19.3mm. (Space GMs should note that gyroc rounds [19.1 mm in 1st Ed, 12.7mm in 2nd Ed], which are low-recoil, could, coupled with auxillary shells, possibly be fired from 10g [or 20g] shotguns).
This is an extended magazine for 5.56mm assault rifles, holding 100 rounds. It is currently available for the AR-15, M-16, and AUG. Cost is $75 and weight is 5 lbs loaded (2.25 lbs unloaded).
Flash Suppressors (historical)
These devices dampen the muzzle flash, making it harder to see a weapon firing (-2 to Vision rolls). Cost is $25-50 and weight is trivial. Due to the buildup of gases, a flash suppressor does not work well with automatic weapons; for each burst over the first, apply a +3 to the Vision roll. Apply a -1 to -5 penalty to the Vision roll to detect any fired gun, depending on lighting, with a +0 for total darkness and -5 for total light.
This also includes micrometer sights. Target sights are high quality non-telescopic adjustable sights. They increase a weapon's basic Acc by +2, but to no higher than 12. Cost is $75, and weight is negligable. This Acc does not apply if a telescopic sight is used.
Using a bipod (typically weighing 2-5 lbs) gets rid of the minimum ST required for a gun, as well as providing a +1 to-hit for braced fire. However, SS is +2 due to lack of flexibility. Using a tripod (usually twice the gun's weight) has the same effects, plus cuts recoil by 2/3 (round up, minimum -1).
There are a variety of styles and setting available, but only a few will be considered here. Chokes are available in two styles, fixed and variable. Fixed chokes only allow fire at one setting, while variable chokes allow several settings. For game purposes, there are three choke settings: open choke (shotgun operates normally), half choke (double half damage range, +1 to-hit with shot only past 25 yards), and full choke (triple half damage range, no +1 to-hit with shot). Slugs may only be fired from an open choke (variable or fixed).
