In addition to whichever weapon you pick, I will also be posting some other soon to be disclosed goodies. Enjoy!

Assembling the page and play-testing the weapon is. Im running my next game sunday morning, where I'll play-test it, so I'll be constructing the page that eveing.

I usually work a 50+ hour week, time is a precious asset.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 366 Joined: 9-August 06 From: Holiday Florida Member No.: 9,055	Well its 1:30am here and I am about to rack out for the night, and the QLZ is in the lead. Oh and don't worry LilithTaveril, I'll adjust the outcome.

Read the description on the LeMat again, it's a 9-shot revolver with an underbarrel shotgun.

The Tromix Rifles are big-bore assault rifle variants that fire huge slugs.

The Beretta M-4 is a high capacity machinepistol/SMG that can be concealed under a jacket.

Theres pleanty of interesting uses for the other weapons.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 451 Joined: 8-May 06 Member No.: 8,533	Wait, a revolver with more than six shots in SR? I dunno... I don't think the people who make the game are ~~willing to allow reality interfere with their game~~ willing to accept a pistol that is such a huge break from precedence.

Ooh. Yeah, that one I didn't read carefully enough. The others, though--"big assault rifle" is at least somewhat novel, but high-cap concealable MP is done six ways to Sunday.

Moving Target Group: Members Posts: 451 Joined: 8-May 06 Member No.: 8,533	Hullbreach, can you do the runner up as the weapon after this? Oh, and I should have that modable pistol for you by Monday. I suggest playtesting it before you put it into play, though. Never can have too much playtesting.

All four will be done in order of decending popularity. You guys are basically setting my priorities.

If this proves popular, I might turn in into an every-friday sort of thing.
