Ok. I was wondering if you could put a mounted foregrip on a weapon and get additional RC. Example: If you took an Ares Tommy Gun and put De-cel Hand Grips II on both the main-grip and the foregrip, could you get a total of +4 RC from that? Or rather, would it be legal/acceptable? Or just rules abuse to some degree?

I'm wondering the same thing.
So... A standard foregrip gives RC1. A personalized handgrip also gives RC1. "De-cel Hand Grips II" sound like RC2 versions of the above... I personally wouldn't allow RC on the handgrips of anything with a stock. [edit] Sorry, not clear enough. I meant the _rear_ handgrip. A front handgrip can certainly make a shoulder fired weapon more controllable. [/edit] |

The disadvantages of custom handgrips make them plausible when used rifles, etc., but something without those shouldn't be. However, I'm assuming this is something from non-canon sources.

De-cel grips are from the Shadowrun Supplemental, as is the Ares Tommy Gun. I was using the Tommy Gun as an example. Sorry. >__<

Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill. Group: Dumpshocked Posts: 6,545 Joined: 26-February 02 From: Gloomy Boise Idaho Member No.: 2,006 |
It's good to clarify those things first, Phaeton. As good as the Supllemental is, it is not canon. So when you ask a question about a non canon item it would be good to list the wheres and whats.
i.e. Shadowrun Supp. #13 Under new equipment This post has been edited by Shadow: Oct 30 2003, 10:45 PM |

The handgrips are page 13 of TSS07.
There's a tommy gun on p34 of TSS03, but it's not Ares. And when he asked me, as his former GM, I told him I'd let it stack, but I'd max the foregrip at a -2 recoil mod, instead of -3. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure a foregrip and padding would work in different ways, and I'm not sure I'd give the bonus for the padded grips on the front anyway. Personally, I don't like underbarrel mods of most kinds, so I wouldn't bother with this idea on one of my characters. |
