According to SR3, clips cost 5 :nuyen: . They don't vary by capacity or calibre. So then could I purchase a larger clip for around double the capacity? For instance, the Savalette, keep that 15 shot clip for everyday use and the 5 Conceal it provides but on a heavy run (full armor, SMGs, what have you, even if you're sneaking in) where its your backup, why not have 30 rounds if you don't car about the Conceal. Like the Glock MP or the HK USP/MP.

Better yet, a SMG or AR thats drum-fed. I don't know what kind of effects that has on aim/balance/etc. I've just been seeing them an awful lot in movies/TV/etc. In my defense, I tend to think of SR like that. It can be an over the top action or a suspenseful mystery but it all still reminds me of a TV show or a movie.

Same thing for the Opposite. I'm a big fan of the M20T Smartgun. Its probably the most cost effective gun out there. But I don't like the Conceal rating at 5. Don't get me wrong, like it, but i guess I don't agree w/ it. So why not have a 15 shot clip, kinda like they do in RL, if I'm not mistaken. That way I can have it in a quick release sling (barrel pointed down) and not have to worry about the clip sicking out in the back (-2 to Con). Or, if you like the Conceal rating where it is, just give a bonus. +1 or +2 should be more than enough.

Thoughts?
