The Maxim is a belt fed water-cooled crew-served heavy machine gun. It masses approximately
32kg. The weapon fires 7.92mm rounds. Cyclical fire is rated at an exceptional 450 rounds per
minute, and the weapon can deliver a sustained 10,000 rounds per hour, assuming that the supply
of ammunition and cooling water is maintained. This high rate of fire makes the Maxim a
murderous weapon under any circumstances. The weapon's barrel is cooled by the wayter which
flows through a "sleeve" surrounding the barrel. This version of the Maxium HMG is the 1908
Spandau (MG08). This weapon was heavily used in the First World War, and was paticularly
lethal at the battle of the Sommes on July 1, 1916.

The Gatling goes down in history as the first successful mechanical machine gun. The Gatling Gun
is six barrelled, with a loader which places cartridges in the feed ready for firing. The operator
aims the gun and by turning a side crank fires it. The barrels, carrier, and cylinder all turn with it.
The ammunition is stored in a long magazine that sticks out of the top of the gun. The gatling gun
can be easily reloaded by replaced the magazine. The Gatling Gun can fire up to 1000 rounds per
minue. The main problem with the gatling gun is that it jams easily. A jam will occur upon a
setback and a stymie result. The gatling gun comes with carry trailer, to allow easy transportation.

The Rutherford Gatling Gun is a simular design to the Standard Cross Gatling Gun, but it fires a
large 1 inch (25mm) bullet. The bullets are belt feed, but instead of the empty shell being ejected
the shells are feed out with the belt. The Rutherford only has four burrels so the weapon is
capable of firing only 600 shots per minute. Like the Gatling Gun, the Rutherford Gatling is likely
to jam. A jam will occur upon a setback and a stymie result. This weapon is transported upon a
small trailer built to hold the weapon.

The MG 42 is a light man portable machine gun, designed to provide infantry support. It has a
shoulder stock with a pistol grip trigger mechanism. The MG 42 was designed for
mass-production, utilising stamped metal components and paying less attention to high quality
finish. The MG 42 introduced the recoil operated roller locking system and an ususually rapid
barrel change system. The rapid barrel change was needed in this weapon because of its high
cyclic rate of fire - 1200 rounds per minute. The belt feed mechanism was highly ingenious and
built into the top cover of the gun, and has been used in the design of modern machine guns. The
MG 42 fires 7.92mm rounds and has a total length of 1.2 meters and weights 11.6 kilograms (or
19 with tripod mount). The MG 42 is normally fired from the ground using its bipod mount. It
can be fired while standing, using two hands, but the firer is at -2 to hit unless their Strength is 10

Another weaponry triumph for the Kanawa Corporation, the Impala virtually revolutionised
Japanese gang wars overnight. By supplying Isei Sagato's mob with Impalas, 3327 was able to
ensure the co-operation of the other families. A six-hundred round magazine's lightweight plastic
construction, and a minimum cycle rate of 360 rounds per minute (maximum 600) makes this a
powerful deterrent to rebellion. Chain guns can only fire on full-auto and, despite efforts at
miniaturisation, are still so large and heavy that two hands are required to carry this weapon. The
Impala Chain Gun weights 11 kilograms, most of the weight is the ammunition, which weights 6
kilograms (increase the weight 1 kilogram per 100 rounds fired). The ammunition is feed from a
belt pack to the chain gun. The chaingun is supported by a shoulder strap.

The ballista is a large, bow like device powered by two "torsion skeins" (lengths of twisted cord). The two limbs of the bow are each approximately 1.75 meters in length, and the device fires a bolt or oversized spear, massing 4.5 kg. The bowstring is drawn back by a windlass and racket assemblt. (This process takes one minute, six rounds, for onr person or only three rounds if two people man the windlass). The ballista has an effective range of 450 meters. Because of the "moment of inertia" of such a long, heavy projectile the armour adds are reduced by four for any target hit by a ballista bolt. The ballista normally has a crew of 3.
The first ballista-like weapon appeared on the scene in 211 BC. The ballista used used for seige

The Hachiman Battering Ram seige engine is 25 meters in overall length, and 3 meters in width. In structure, it consists of a wheeled "gallery" (a roofed structure mounted on wheels) with a interior clearance of 2 meters. Suspended by chains beneath the gallery is a stout log approximately 0.8 meters in diameter. This long is capped on one end with a heavy, blunt brass cap. Along the length of the log, metal bars have been driven into the wood to provude handholds for the troops swinging the ram. The ram is designed to be used by 15 troops.
The log is suspended, freeing the troops to concentre all their efforts on swinging it against the target. Secondly, the gallery protects them from the defending troops on the battlements above. (This gallery has a Toughness of 15).
The damage of the ram is usually applied to only part of a building. The gamemaster must decide
the Toughness of the structure against which the ram is being used. The ram can be swung once
per round, so long as their are troops to operate it within one meter.

Bores resemble rams in construction: a long wheeled gallery protecting the central mechanism, which is suspended from roof beams. This central mechanism is usually a log, suspended in slings so it can turn about its long axis. The metal headpiece is a screw bit, designed to chew through stone.
These engines are designed to be used in one of two ways. In some, the log was pulled back and
swung against the target like a ram. Because of the twist to the screw bit, the log would turn a
little on impact. Eventually, the bit would bite into the wall and do some damage (damage value
20). Once the head bites into the wall (doing a damage result to the wall), the log can be be turn
by stakes of wood or metal driven into the it along its length. Using the handles the troops turn
the bore making it go further into the wall (damage value 23). The swinging of the bore can be
performed once a round, while the turning takes two rounds to cause the damage. The bore is
designed to be used by 15 troops. The gallery acts as cover from defending trops with a
Toughness of 15. Like the ram the bore must be within one meter, to swing the log into the wall.
Once drilling the bore must touch the wall.

The catapult is a wheeled device, which uses torrsioned ropes to propell heavy rocks or other material into the air. The catapult uses a lever to release the rope and the central arm throws the missile into the air. The rope is retightened, pulling back the central arm and the metal bowl on the end is then reloaded with another projectile. On the light catapult the rare of the frame can be raised and lower, to adjusted the elevation. The other method of lowering the range is to change the amount of torsion or modify the weight of projectile. Neither of these methods are particularly precise, making the ctapult a notoriously inaccurate weapon. They suffer a -3 to hit at short range, -2 at medium, and -6 at long (this replaces the normal range minuses, as the catapult is not very good at short range). As the target is normally a large building accuracy is not too much of a problem.
Although the catapult usually hurls rocks (of 10-20 kilograms in weight) or other heavy projectiles, there are no practical restrictions on what could be fired. The most common "alternative" loads were quantities of small stones, gravel and even lengths of chain. This medieval shrapnel is useless against "hard" targets such as walls and the like, but it is effective against "soft" targets like troops. These loads do no damage upon structures, but gain +3 to hit troops, because of the shatter effect of the projectile.
Catapults can also cast flaming missiles, or even canisters of Greek fire. Typically, these projectiles are much lighter than the normal loads (as such the medium and longer ranges are halved). Flaming loads do no damage to structures from their impact, but cause burning damage of 18, which lasts for 3 rounds (Greek Fire lasts 6 rounds). A flaming loads has an area of effect of 1 meter. If the building is flamable and a K result, appears the in damage, the building catches on fire.
Other more grusome loads are often used by the Dark forces of Aysle, these include heads, diseased bodies, monsters and undead.
A Crew of 4 people are needed to operate the light Catapult efficenctly. The Catapult can fire one
shot per 3 rounds. A minimum crew of 2 will take I minute per shot.

Trebuchet is the largest of the catapult type seige engines. However as the catapults were built larger and larger to fire ever increasing loads, the mechanism had to change, as there is a limit as to how much force that can be generated from bent wood or torqued rope. The Trebuchet uses the potential energy contained in a heavy weight, ie gravity. On one end of the trebuchet's long arm is a sling or basket to contain the load. On the other, across a fulcrum, was a mass of metal or rock. To load the weapon, the crew pulled the basket end down, which raised the countermass off the ground. When they released the arm, the countermeass fell, accelerating the basket and load. This Trebuchet has a special wheel to lower the basket and a release lever, to allow better reloading. The trebuchet can fire loads of 100 to 200 kilograms.
Range is varied by changing the mass of the load, the weight of the countermass, or the distance that the arm is pulled down.
Like the catapult the loads can be varied. A flaming load will cause damage of 18 for 3 rounds (or
6 rounds if Greek Fire), with an area of effect of 3 meters. The trebuchet requires a crew of 8 to
work efficiently, but can still operate with 5. The trebuchet can be fired every four rounds, but for
each crew member missing the reloading time takes an extra round

The Morrigan Steam Cannon incorporate magic and technology. In structure, the Steam cannon appears like a standard 12 pound cannon mounted on a wheeled carriage, with a metal water reservoir installed behind and above the butt of the cannon. This open open topped reservoir will hold 1200 litres (317 gallons) of water. The weapon is prepared for use by filling the reservoir with water, and then loading the iron "roundshot" - massing about 5.5 kilograms, with a daimeter of about 12cm - down the bore of the weapon. The wepon is fired by pulling a small lever on the carriage.
The lever causes a volume of water to be admitted to a small chamber behind the shot. The water is magically heated to such a degree that it instantly flashes into steam, propelling the shot from the barrel with a muzzle velocity equal to or greater than that of many higher technology gun powder field guns. In addition, since the sole propellent is water, the Morrigan is much cheaper to operate than standard field pieces. The fully filled reservoir contains enough water for 60 shots. The steam cannon has a Magic axiom level of 16.
Because of the magic the Steam Cannon is very quite, and has no recoil. The cannon normally has
a crew of three and can fire every two rounds.

The gun is mounted on a two wheeled carriage, which masses 532 kilograms, and can quickly be limbered for transportation. The gun is equally effective when loaded with iron roundshot, canister, case or grape shot, or explosive shot.
The 12 Pounder 1857 is reloaded, by ramming the black powder down the burrel, and than adding the shot. The cannon is fired by placing a slow burning cord to the powder hole. This ignited the black powder. The 12 pounder requires a crew of 4, and can be fired every four rounds.
For cannister or grape shot the range is greatly reduced to S 3-150, M 400, L 450, but the shot is
spread over a 5 meter line. The type of shot is best against soft targets and light structures. For
explosive shells the Long range is decreased to 1300 meters, with a burst radius of shrapnel
3/6/10.

Compared to a standard field gun, the howitzer has a short and squat barrel. (For comparsion, the howitzer has a barrel length of 1.34 meters compared to 1.98 meters for a comparable field gun). The burrel and carriage are thus considerably lighter. The howiztzer fires an explosive shell with a diameter of 16.5 cm. This piece is based on the Gribeauval systems, shows many significant improvements over the earlier artillery pieces. Most noticeable is its screw adjusted elevating wedge, making laying of the gun much faster and more accurate.
The 24 pound Field Howitzer requires a crew of three and can be fired once every four rounds.

The Armstrong is a rifle breech loader firing 76.2mm caliber rounds. Unlike later designs, in the armstrong the propellant is loaded separatley after the projectile. Three kinds of projectiles are available: sprapnel, case shot or explosive shot. The shell weighs approimately 5.25kg.
The interesting point about the shells is that its iron casting is coated with a tiny later of lead to "take" the rifling in the dore better. This improves the accuracy of the weapon immensely, making the Armstrong one of the most percise of its class anywhere in the world (this gives the weapon a +1 to hit at all ranges).
The Armstrong was one of the first practical breechloaders. The Armstrong requires a crew of
three and can be fired once every three rounds.

This massive breech loader is designed to be mounted in an open topped barbette on the deck of a dreadnought. It fires a 412mm armour-piercing shell massing approximately 28.5 kilograms. The recoil of this enormous piece is such that it must be mounted on a slide, which is then mounted on a elevating ram. The hitting power of this weapon must be seen to be believed. A single hit will sink virtually any vessel. In addition, the weapon is ideally suited for bombardment of coastal fortifications. Its range is greater than that of most coastal batteries hence it can rain destruction on an enemy without risk of counterbattery fire.
The 111 ton gun was mounted on the dreadnought HMS Benbow in the 1880s. In this installation the barbette was faced with 14-inch (35.6 cm) armour, illustrating why such weapons were required.
Accuracy is an issued, as is rate of fire (the weapon suffers a -1 penatly at all ranges, and
reloading takes 8 rounds). A crew of 10 is require to reload is weapon. The burst radius of the
shells is Short 1-5 Medium 15 Long 40.

The QF is a light, simple and rapid firing gun designed to counter the threat of small fast torpedo boats. The weapon is aimed and fired by one person. The gunner presses his shoulders against the padded rest at the rear; this shoulder piece is attached to the carriage and not the gun, isolating the gunner from recoil. Other crew members load the fixed cartridges. A falling-block breech is used to maximize the rate of fire. With trained crew, the weapon is capable of firing 25 shots per minute. The entire weapon is mounted on a pedestal. This versatile and eminently reliable weaon has an overall length of about 3 meters and a calibre of 70mm.
The total crew needed is four. If the crew are fully trained the weapon can do three round bursts
causing +3 damage. With apartial or untrained crew the damage value is only 26.

The BHA-15 (Bomb, High-Yield, Air-Delivered) masses 50 kilograms, and is approximately
80cm in length. Its broad, stubby stabilizing fins are 50cm in width, and its bulbous body reaches a
maximum diameter - just behind the fuse - of 23cm. The fuse is a simple impact variety, armed by
an impeller after it has fallen free for at least 200 meters; this means the bomb will not detonate if
dropped from an altitude of less than 200 meters (an impact fuse was selected as a prefect
compromise between versatility and reliability). The Valkyrie is designed to be mounted beneath
the gondola of a Zeppelin. The mounting rack is easy to attach, and provides a good positive fit

This Japanese weapon was designed to provide support for infantry. Its barrel is only 58cm long, minimizing the gun's accuracy. Since it is intended for close-range engagements -at which it excels- this is not an issue. The Type 92 is an incredibly portable weapon. It can be man packed through the roughest terrain and set up quickily. When fitted with sheet steel wheels, the height of one or both wheels can be adjusted to suit the ground contours. The weapon fires semi fixed ammunition, and HE, smoke and armour-piercing rounds are available. For comparison purposes, the HE shell masses 3.8 kilograms the total weight of the Type 92 is 300 kilograms.

This Swiss exceptional weapon is based on the classic "Stokes-Brandt" design. Like most mortars, it is a man-portable smoothbore weapon that fires finstabilized projectiles at a very high angle (ie indirect fire). It consists of three main elements; the barrel, the bipod (which supports the barrel and allows for aiming), and the baseplate (which prevents the weapon from sinking into the ground under the effects of recoil).
The Model 1933 is drop-fired; that is the projectile is slid, tail first, down the muzzle, and the
propellant charge is triggered as soon as it strikes the bottom of the tube. This versatile weapon
can fire either high explosive or smoke bombs. With the normal crew of two people the mortar
can be fired every round. If just one person fired every second round. The total weight of the
81mm Mortar is 61 kilograms, each of the shells are 3.1 kilograms.

The Panzerfaust is a simple but deadly weapon which was produced in the tens of thousands during World War II. The weapon consists of nothing more than a mild steel tube about one meter long and an 4 cm in diameter, carrying a primitive backsight and a trigger. Inside the tubeis a small charge of gunpowder. Into the front of the tube went a hollow charge bomb; the head is 15 cm in diameter and carries a charge of 1.6 kilogramms of explosive, powerful enough to penetrate 15 cm of armour. The tail stem of the bomb has four flexible fins which wrap around the stem so that it can slip into the firing tube. The foresight is a pin on the edge of the bomb. All the firer has to do is tuck the tibe under his arm, take aim, pull the trigger and throw the empty tube away. Pressure on the trigger fires a cap which will lite the black powder charge, which then exploses and a portion of its energy drive the bomb out of the tube, while the remaining blast goes backwards and out of the rear. The blast passing out of the rear balances the recoil due to the bomb being launched. The panzerfaust is a recoilless gun and not a rocket launcher. Also it is the first "expendable" weapon, fire once and throw away.
The panzerfaust has a total weight of 4 kilograms, and length of 80 centimetres. The backblast out
of the panzerfaust extents out to 5 meters. If anyone is within the backblast they take 16 at 0-3
meters, 13 at 4 meters, and 8 at 5 meters.

The Bazooka was developed because of the need for U.S. forces to have a infantry anti-tank
weapon. The weapon is a simple smooth bore tube which the soldier can lay upon his shoulder,
taking aim through an open sight at his side. His assistant loads a finned hollow charge rocket into
the tube and connects a n electric firing wire, the firer presses trigger which connects two touch
batteries in the pistol grip and fies the rocket motor by electricity. The rockets launches itself from
the tube, giving on recoil to the weapon sine the blast simplies shoots straight through the end of
the tube. The Bazooka is able to be reloaded, and fired each two rounds. The total length is one
meter, and it weights 6 kilograms. Each of the rockets weight 1.5 kilograms. The bazooka
requires a crew of two. The backblast out of the bazooka extents out to 5 meters. If anyone is
within the backblast they take 16 at 0-3 meters, 13 at 4 meters, and 8 at 5 meters.

Tom can fire a 19 kilogram HE shell some 25 kilometers with incredible accuracy. In addition to
HE, the weapon can also fire armour piercing and smoke rounds. These rounds are fully separate,
in that the projectile, charge - contained in a cloth bag - and primer are each loaded separately.
The advantage of this system is that the charge load can be varied to adjust range and trajectory.

The British WOMBAT (Weapon of Magnesium, Battalion Anti-Tank) is the premier choice among lightweight recoilless anti-guns. Through the use of alloys, the weight of the weapon is kept to a bare minimum (295 Kg). Its light carriage is not intended for towing: the weapon must be carried into action on a jeep. This weapon is 3.7 meters in overall length.
The WOMBAT fires a relatively high caliber projectile; specifically, 120mm. It is a recoililess weapon, based upon the frangible base system. The WOMBAT can fire HE and HESH rounds.
Although the WOMBAT did not see service until after World War II, the various technologies involved could be been intergrated in the late 1930s. The WOMBAt is currently being replaced by a guided missile system.
Anyone within a 10 wide cone extending 100 meters from the rear of a WOMBAT suffers an attack with the following damage rating:
0-14 meters 17 15-32 meters 11 33-100 8

The highly effective Elia mine is a moored type designed to be laid by being dropped from the deck of a ship. Using an ingenious "sinker" mechanism, the mine automactically moors itself at the desired depth below the surface. The process is as follows: The mine itself which incorporates a buoyancy chamber containing air, floats on the surface while its sinker mechanism sinks to the bottom, unreeling a cable as it does so. When the sinker mechanism reaches the bottom, a pre-set length of the cable is automatically reeled in, pulling the mine itself underwater, and fixing it at the prescribed depth. The Elis mine contains 100kf of TNT, and is detonated by an impact fuze when struck by a surface vessel or submarine.
The Elia combines good and bad features. It's a moored mine which means it can be cleared by physcial "sweeping". It's impact fused, so it can't be be cleared by "influence sweeping". Its metall

The total length is 26 cm long, but it is 3cm wide along the barrel making this weapon hard to
conceal. This weapon uses heavy weapons skill.

Damage Value: varies Ammo: 12 Ammo Cost: varies Range Short: 3-50 Medium: 150 Long: 250
Similar to the gyrojet pistol, except the rifle fires a long range heavier impact missile. The rifle
have a long straight clip which holds 12 missiles. Because of the heat built up well firing the
missile only one missile one fired per round or else the clip could explode (only if 2 is rolled on
the dice while firing). This weapon uses heavy weapons skill.

Gauss Weapons
Gauss weapons, use magnetic fields to fire a metal needle or projectile at great speeds. This
incredible velocity than causes damage to the target. These weapons are silence and produce no
muzzle flash and minimum recoil. However the speed of the projectile does create a loud sonic
boom, which cannot be silenced, as the projectile relies upon speed to damage its target. Gauss
weapons also use up energy, thus requiring replacement projectiles and energy packs.
Kanawa Rail Gun II
Price: 1 million Weight: na Size: na Tech Level: 24 Toug: 18 Legal Status: 6 Availability: B 16
Damage Value: 34 Ammo: 100 Ammo Cost: 100/1 Range Short: 100-1500 Medium: 3000 Long: 6000
This is a typical gauss weapon at this Tech level. Its velocity is similar to that of the 120mm smoothbore cannon that is mounted on the M1 Abrams. However, where the railgun has an advantage is in the rate of fire. The capacitors have two settings.
For long range fire, the capacitors have a long recycling time, allowing for a stronger magnetic field and therefore enough force to accurately hit a target and do damage to it over a great distance. At close range, the rail gun can be set on a short recycling time, which allows for an effective rate of fire comparable to a machine gun, but at the expense of accurate long range fire. The Rail Gun can do long bursts at close range only, this provides +3 to hit, damage is a base of 31 +3 for burst fire, thus 34 effectively for at both settings.
Ammunition is stored in a round hopper and is automatically fed into this weapon. Heavy
weapons skill is required to use this weapon.
Hachiman Ultra 2000
Price: 500,000 Weight: na Size: na Tech Level: 24 Toug: 15 Legal Status: 6 Availability: B 14
Damage Value: 25 (includes burst) Ammo: 200 Ammo Cost: 50/1 Range Short: 3-100 Medium: 500 Long: 500
A military support weapon designed specifically for anti-personnel use. Range has been sacrificed
for rate of fire, which in the case of this weapon, is significant. The Ultra is designed for
automatic fire and as a result can fire long burst only. The Ultra 2000, carries enough ammo for
20 rounds of continuous firing Due to the presence of a coolant chamber and power packs, the
Ultra is too heavy to be fired from anything but a tripod or vehicle mount. Heavy weapons skill is
required to use this weapon.
Hellfire Touch
Price: 50,000 Weight: 12 Size: 7 Tech Level: 25 Toug: 13 Legal Status: 6 Availability: B 14
Damage Value: 25 Ammo: 10 Ammo Cost: 1200/clip Range Short: 20-150 Medium: 2500 Long: 5000
About the same size as the Barrett .50 calibre sniper rifle, the Touch is a long-ranged sniper
weapon designed to take out lightly armoured targets quietly. The Touch has a very slow
recharge time and therefore is capable of firing only one shot per round. It is also a heavy weapon,
requiring a bipod to fire property. Heavy weapons skill is required to use this weapon.
FN-GAR
Price: 10,000 Weight: 3 Size: 4 Tech Level: 25 Toug: 13 Legal Status: 5 Availability: B 13
Damage Value: 18 (includes burst) Ammo: 50 Ammo Cost: 5/50 Range Short: 3-20 Medium: 50 Long: 200
Outwardly, this weapon appears very similar to FN'sS-90 SMG, however it is full gauss. Capable of burst and automatic fire, this weapon is extremely deadly in enclosed areas, the sort in which it is meant to be used. Designed with the French Resistance in mind, the battery packs can be recharged (albeit slowly) from normal household current. Also the ammunition used by the weapon can be manufactured in a standard machine shop using 3mm steel wire.
The rate of fire, combined with the lack of recoil, also makes the weapon very easy to use. The
weapon can only use burst and full auto fire options. The powerpack needs to be recharged after
200 shots.
Shin-5 Gauss SMG
Price: 20,000 Weight: 1.5 Size: 3 Tech Level: 26 Toug: 13 Legal Status: 6 Availability: B 15
Damage Value: 19 (includes burst) Ammo: 100 Ammo Cost: 500/clip Range Short: 3-50 Medium: 150 Long: 600
The Shin-5 has become the standard gauss weapon for the Race and the Thorkoldu. Given only to elite units, the Shin-5 has a variable charge capacitor, which allows for both short and long ranges. On short charge, the weapon receives the same bonuses for full-auto fire. While on long charge, the weapon gains an effective range of over 500 meters, bur it does not gain full-auto fire bonuses. The power pack is included within the magazine, so the weapon is fully charged, each time the clip is replaced.
The Shin-5 is a fully automatic machine pistol, with a total length of 25cm and weight of 1.5
kilograms. The projectiles are no longer metal but HardPlas, so the weapon cannot be detected by
metal detectors (-5). The Shin-5 can only fire in burst or long bursts.

armoured vehicles, and heavily armoured cyberdemons. The Rail Gun is a very heavy snipers rifle
which is large and bulky. The weapon needs to be fired from a tripod, EXO Skeleton or requires
Strength of 12. The total weight is 18 kilograms, and the length is two meters, as such the
weapon is normally used in SWAT callouts, or situations where the weapon can be transported to
the scene. The Rhin Kinetic Rail Gun is used is a situation where a heavily armoured person needs
to be taken out but cannons, and area effect weapons will cause to much damage. The depleted
uranium projectile means the armour of the target is decreased by 2.
