Just took a break from learning math and the first thing that jumps thru my mind is shadowrun.
Say does anyone know if it is possible to mod cyberguns? I am thinking about a firemode modification like singleshot > burstmod. |

I don't recall anything in the rules about this, though I could be wrong.
I would say it's up to your GM. At my table I will allow/disallow mods for cyberguns on a case-by-case basis, depending on the modification, when the player says "hey can I do this?" |

I don't see why not. I would consider ruling that the mods take up their slots in capacity for the limb though just to keep things in check.

Thanks guys. I am the GM so i asked to hear other opinions before i decide something, its clear that i wouldnt allow any kind of barrel modifications. We are talking here about ceramic/plaststeel components and a firing selection change.

There are rules for modifying weapons in Arsenal. Cyberguns are considered weapons. There is nothing in any of the books that differentiates cyberguns from any other firearms, nor anything barring them from being modified. Ergo, by canon, cyberguns can be modified using Arsenal's weapon modification rules. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah by RAW all the mods are a go for the reasons fortune mentioned. I'd still limit the mods to ones that don't change the size and shape of the weapon. If I was being a hard ass I'd add the cybertechnology skill as an additional requirement for the mod on top of what ever Arsenal says.

Requiring Capacity to add a smartlink seems excessive. actualy, according to RAW all "standard" cyberguns come standard with smartlinks (although, for some reason, they can be accesorized with laser sights). for reasons not entirely clear, the ranged cyberweapons in Augmentation can not have a smartlink (even though i'm fairly certain that a standard squirt or dart gun can benefit from a smartlink). i'd probably rule that cyberguns have slightly less capacity than standard guns. like 4 or 5 slots instead of the standard 6. |
