Title: A Million Ways to die Weapon categories Rifle vs Machine gun vs Submachine gun
Post by: Warl on October 24, 2014, 12:20:24 PM
So I am working on my RM/SM game, and looking for and over charts for modern guns, and I Find some of the Table weapon mixes a bit odd and some weapons just missing all together.

For instance, Assault Rifles-Machine Guns, and Sub Machine guns All seem to be lumped into the Same category.

On top of this, there doesn't seem to be a Category for Heavy Machine Guns Or 50 Caliber Rifles.

Is there any other sources out there for such Weapons/Tables? Such as In the Guild Companion? Or was there ever a "Modern" Book done for RM? I have the "Outlaw" Book, but doesn't cover our time period.

Those tables are from Weapon's Law: Firearms. That book assigned guns a muzzle energy, like I did in Blaster Law (that's where I got the methodology). When you just look up the what ME the gun has and check the relevant attack table.

The barret sniper rifle is in there. I believe that's the highest ME in the book. Can't remember if there are heavy machine guns on the weapon tables, but I'll stress again, the weapon tables are only the muzzle energy of the bullet. If there's a weapon that you want that's not on the list, just look up one with a comparable round and barrel and use it's muzzle energy.  So knowing a Glock 19's ME lets you know the ME of pretty much all the 9mm pistols.

Nasty table, ME 29. 

I still use the shooting/attack options from Weapons Law: Firearms.  Double Tap is my favorite shot.
