On p.319 SR4A it is explained that sniper rifles used in running gunfights tend to break (every combat turn results in an edge test, each failed test incurs a -1 modifier until recalibrated) with the exception of the Walther MA-2100. However, there is no mention of this rule in Arsenal. Some of the guns in Arsenal are described as being for military use, etc, but no mention of this 'sniper rifle hardening' is mentioned. So, is it possible to go about hardening a sniper rifle for use in a firefight? Would melee hardening (p.152 Arsenal) cover this or would that merely prevent the gun from being destroyed by melee attack?
I'm interested in how people generally deal with sniper rifles and their capacity for lethal destruction in their campaigns and what, if any, mods help keep them from breaking in your average runner's gunfight. |
