Count Loonard's Flying Emporium

Yet again, I have returned into my mecha mood, after prolonged time without any mood at all.  And the first thing I decided I would do in this mecha mood of mine, is give some more advice on mecha weapons, as oversized handheld weapons are a persistent thing in mecha fiction. At least that part of mecha genre that doesn't treat mecha as walking weapons platforms ( a.k.a the fun one, haha got`em! )  So, you want your  mech to carry a very-very big assault rifle, or a pistol, or something else.  If you remember my abrupt and very rough  post on how I run mecha, there were already some details on scaling up weapons with all the LTC, and stuff. But today, we're gonna simplify and streamline this process. The simplest way to do mecha weapons, is simply to use the stats listed in different weapon tables, but tack on a "d" on the damage and range (repeating from that one post, we're gonna use 5-second turns and 10-yard hexes).  Weight of the weapon system is yet a...

 For those of you craving  more modifications to your UT guns, than just ETC and Liquid propellant, Flying Emporium presents these new goodies to upgrade your futuristic weaponry! High-cyclic controlled bursts     (+0.5 CF)                                                Previously limited only to specific guns, this upgrade allows any RoF 5+ gun to fire hype-cyclic controlled bursts. As long as gun shoots in multiples of 2 or 3*, its effective Rcl becomes 1. Using this feature prohibits Suppression Fire or Spraying Fire and is subject to Limited Bursts rule from HT p.83.  TL9+ guns all having selective fire features, shooter can choose whether or not use this feature. Hyper-cyclic contolled bursts      (+1 CF) Some TL9 guns, notably SMGs, already  have very low Recoil, due to their special features....

 Hey-hey-hey! Have you ever looked at TL9 conventional and ETC firearms in Ultra-Tech, and think to yourself  "Damn, these guns sure do suck!"  ? Because, let's be honest - they do. Ultra-Tech firearms have suffered hardest from all the problems other things in Ultra-Tech did, to the point they're sometimes worse  than similar-class firearms from High-Tech or Tactical Shooting. That's where Cdru's revised table of small-arms comes in, introducing a set of TL9 firearms that can find their way into your PCs hands.  So here, come take a look! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IV4SJZcFhZiHsNYF68myCcIEqlgJp1on5cp46OpzrY4/edit?usp=sharing Note: This table is made primarily by Cdru  (Cdru#3144 on Discord) , with some help from Douglas Cole of Gaming Ballistic, Kimesik, and yours truly. This table may receive further updates, so take care to check it routinely.
