Question:

A gun slide is a mount for a pistol that whips it forward into your hand on demand. There is a cyber version, which I can understand for an obvious cyberarm, but IIRC it says that you can mount it in your flesh arm.


How the hell would that work? If you took your jacket/shirt off, where there be a gun clinging to your arm, or would you have a drawer-slide looking thing on your forearm.

I imagine you'd have some kind of slit running down your arm, with a little grabber hand poking out.

It could either come out from inside the arm, or just be mounted on the outside and wired into your nervous system.

Cyber arm slide lists no essence cost, only available in cyber arm.

There is a non implant version available as well, it straps to your forearm and can be activated ether threw your pan or buy muscle movements. If you were not wearing a long shirt (and preferably jacket) it would be very obvious. I would also want specially tailored clothing.

Ah, I missed that part. OK, no no slide in your meat arm, and probably some sort of groove/slit in your forearm with a little mechanism to flip the gun to your hand...


This is why I love DS! :D
Thanks for the help y'all!

I love the non cyber arm slide. It reminds me Travis Bickel from Taxi Driver and Rally Vincent from Gunsmith Cats. The cyber ones are boring to me. :(

I saw an old western that included one as well.


At the end the guy that carried one accidentally held up the priest at his own wedding when he went to shake hands. That’s about all I remember of that movie. Its also why my characters gun arm slide is pan enabled, no accidental activation.

But PAN enabled means that the leet decker hiding in your commlink can spring the thing just as you go to shake hands with your paranoid lone star contact....

I'm not too good at describing things but if you can see that movie Alien Ressurection one of the mercenaries uses a device like this with dual pistols. Gives you a good idea of how it would really work though the only reason I can see to have one is so you can surprise an opponent who is expecting you to reach into your coat or belt for your gun.

I'm still wondering how the hell is the cyberversion even possible on synthetic arms? They have capacity 8 iirc and the attributes alone take up 9 capacity points, so no extra-features, NOTHING. Just wondering.

Or the movie Equillibrium, which also features a built in forearm reloader. That part I think was more nifty than the gun slides...

I'm pretty sure you don't pay for the baseline threes on attributes in your cyberarms, it's the increased attributes BEYOND that you pay for.

I allow for heavy pistols, because I'm a big softie. Provided the player isn't explicitly wearing constricting clothing that would impact the free action of the slide.

If I were to be a bitch about it, I'd say light pistols and hold-outs. Essentially, a little surprise when your standard sidearm is dry or seized.

I'm thinking of basically only allowing them with hold-outs unless you've got a bigass loose jacket on. Trying to conceal something noticeably taller than your forearm while wearing form fitting body armor can be a real pain in the ass.

That's why it goes over the FFBA. Also, who has a pistol bigger than their forearm? I'm looking at my forearm, and while I'm a tall guy, I have a more than reasonable amount of space for a compact or semi-compact, large-caliber firearm strapped on, without the barrel poking out the sleeve.

He's not talking about length. Your forearm, from top to bottom, is probably not as tall as a larger .38, and a Colt .45 will show as a big bulge in your sleeve.

I wouldn't allow larger than a light pistol, unless it was something custom made for the slide and the user.

Depends on how cinematic you want to be. In the movie Equilibrium, for example, the main character has full auto heavy pistols on the slides, and wears a not incredibly loose jacket over it without noticable bulges. Course, the magic of Hollywood works wonders...

Yeah, and he's also got those spare magazines on the OTHER spring-loaded armature on his forearms... :P

Love that movie. Anyone who throws two weighted mags into a room so that they're upright, on the floor, in the place that he knows he's going to run out of ammunition is a hardass.
