B. Armoury

B.0 Definitions

Acc

The inherent accuracy of a weapon used when calculating the chance of hitting the target. Higher values indicate weapons which are easier to hit the target with. Any aiming aids appropriate for the weapon type will have been taken into account in this figure.

Dmg

The damage caused by being hit a single round or blast from the weapon. Where the number is followed by an 'E', this indicates that the weapon fires an explosive shell or warhead, and the damage is not halved at extreme range.

Wt

The weight in kilograms or tons (t) of the weapon (a fully loaded one in the case of ranged weapons). Where a dash is present, the weapon is disposable and is discarded after use. The weapon weight in this case is shown in the Magazine Weight column.

Mag

The capacity of the magazine of the weapon (either internal or external). This is the number of shots the user may fire before having to reload. Single shot weapons are indicated with 'SS' in the Mag column. These require reloading or recharging after each shot (i.e. there is no magazine feed device).

Mag Wt

The weight in kilograms of a fully loaded magazine (includes the weight of the box or magazine itself). In the case of weapons with no magazine or an integral one, it is the weight of ammunition (which may include powder, primer, ball, etc..) required to fully reload the weapon (e.g. charge plus ball if musket, six bullets for revolver, etc..). In the case of disposable weapons (i.e. some missiles, rockets and bombs), this weight includes the launcher or holding rack.

Eff Rng

The useful range of the weapon in meters or kilometres (km). Defined as the range beyond which the accuracy and damage of the weapon falls off to half of the original value (except for weapons with explosive warheads).

Ext Rng

Maximum range in meters or kilometres (km) it is possible to hit a target from.

Rld Time

The time taken in combat rounds to reload the weapon and have it ready to fire again.

For single-shot weapons (these have SS in the 'Mag' column), this is the time required to reload the weapon ready for the next shot. A Reload Time of zero means that, although the weapon is single shot, it can be reload and fired all in the same round. For muzzle-loading weapons indicated with an asterisk next to the reload time, the time taken to reload depends on the skill of the user. Deduct 1 combat round from the reload time for every 20% skill the user has.

For weapons that hold more than one shot (either in a detachable magazine, a cylinder or internally), this is the time required to fully reload the weapon, either by changing magazines or loading a series of rounds into the weapon.

For crewed weapons, these times assume that the full crew is present. If this is not the case, the loading and firing process will take longer than specified.

Burst Radius

The radius in meters of the blast damage from the weapon (see Section 2.5.4 Blast Damage).

Lgth

The length of the weapon in meters (applicable only to melee weapons).

Prot

The protection value that the armour, structure or material provides to a character covered by it.

Defence %

The defence provided by a shield when calculating Shield chance (See Section 2.4.2 Melee Actions).

Weight

This is the effective weight of the armour as would fit an average sized human (Size 15). The weight can be adjusted on a pro-rata basis for significantly different sizes. It is used for the purposes of calculating encumbrance, and does not represents the actual weight of the suit or item.

Note for Blowpipes:

The damage quoted is used only for the purposes of determining whether the dart penetrates the victim's clothing or armour. Unless the dart strikes a particularly delicate area, such as the eye, ignore any physical damage indicated by the damage table. If the damage roll results in a 'stun' or better on the damage table, then the dart has struck the target's body and any poison or other substances on is delivered into the target's body. The effects of the poision should be dealt with separately, according to Section 5.11 Poisons.
