Some Mods for Ultra-Tech Guns!

 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. But we can go higher! WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!
Any conventional gun with Rcl 1 can fire Hyper-cyclic controlled bursts, giving it effective Rcl of 0.5, as long as gun shoots in Limited Bursts of 2 or 3* (that is, two additional hits per one point of success). 

- Optionally, this feature can be added to firearms with High-cyclic controlled bursts for the same +1CF

* choosen when buying/modifying a firearm. GMs making their own gun loadouts may wish specify to the size of burst themselves. 


Dial-a-Round feature    (+0.5 CF, +15%  to magazine weight)
In many sci-fi settings, soldiers do not have to care about bullet order in mag, choosing which round to fire on-the-go. This upgrade brings this ability from cinematic perk to actual gun feature. 
Dial-a-Round feature allows shooter to specify what type of ammunition they use before shooting, as long as such ammunition is present in the mag. This requires a specific shape of the magazine and increases its weight. Guns with this feature cannot use standard magazines, they just wouldn't fit into the mechanism. 
Revolvers can get this upgrade without additional weight. In some settings, all revolvers may have this feature!

- Due to how their magazines operate, Dial-A-Round feature is incompatible with Liquid-propellant feature.

Shooting Queue 
As a special feature for RoF 1+, shooter can specify the exact order in which different types of ammunition are used in a burst. This requires a Ready maneuver, and puts a strain on selector mechanism. -1 to Malf. when this feature is used at RoF 5+.


- Optionally, at TL9, worsen the Malf penalty to -2 when shooting at RoF 20+

Tech Thrown Forward

Written with help from Cdru Reading through UT and pyramid articles (Arrow of Progress, in this case) I kind of noticed an interesting problem with UT thrown weapons. The problem is – there’s very-very few of them. Grenades are one thing (and even they are quite limited) – but If one wants to use more “exotic” thrown weapons, their hands are tied. Sonic Shuriken is the only actual throw weapon in Ultra Tech, and its barely on par with any other weapons in its niche (which seems to be some kind of a theme with UT). We have Arrow of Progress for UT Bows, but nothing for thrown weapons! And so, I thought “let’s make some more fun stuff to throw in sci-fi settings”. And so, I did. Here are some thrown weapon options for Ultra-tech!   General Ultra-Tech developments      All of general Ultra-Tech improvements involving targeting aids, can be applied to throw weapons. This means that someone throwing their weapon can get +1 from HUD, +3 from laser rangefinder and +2 from a...

Close Quarters Combat - an MGS inspired style (by CDRU)

Изображение
Here is a style compiled by Cdru based on Metal Gear Solid videogame series.  Close Quarters Combat (CQC) is a style developed by the Boss and her pupil, known back then as Jack, who would go on to become Big Boss. Initially, it was developed from the Boss's WW2 experience with snatch missions that didn't allow killing anybody. Later on, it was developed into a full-fledged style for use in sneaking missions, with Big Boss going on to teach it to his allies and subordinates, including Solid Snake and Ocelot. Although it died off for several years after Solid Snake has killed Big Boss, as the former refused to use or teach it afterwards, and all the other practitioners died or were acting in secrecy afterwards, it was later revived after the files on Operation Snake Eater were declassified, which reignited interest in the style and caused many soldiers to learn it on their own.  The style assumes that the practitioner dual-wields a handgun and a knife (shorter ones being prefer...

The Slicing Strings: Monowire and Martial Arts

    "Okay, I know it's FILTHY RICH coming from me... but your powers are bullshit!"                                         (c)  Alucard, "Hellsing Ultimate Abridged"   Monowire from GURPS Ultra-Tech offers many options in combat, but most of them are either passive (using spools of monowire to set up traps) or don't really use the wire  part, like making a sword out of it. And what published material is there on monowire itself in combat or Martial Arts, puts it at best into a secondary role. Which doesn't really fullfill the "fantasy" of using monowire as a weapon.  You know, things like actively entangling your foe with deadly strands, rapidly placing nets to slow down or even kill opponents - the good stuff. This is were I come in, with new combat options and even martial styles for Monowire. These use Monowire Whip as a core...
