Does Arsenal (or any other book) have a way to mount weapons on drones with a body 2 or less (or I guess raise the body)?

I'm looking for a small or mini flying drone with a pistol of some sort on it.

It'd be GM fiat, but I think it would be reasonable to have a small sized weapon mount for light pistols and holdouts.

As a general rule, one weapon mount can be added to a vehicle for every 3 points of Body it has, rounded up


Last time I checked.....1/3 Rounded up = 1, So its safe to say that you can put 1 weapon mount on a mini to Medium Drone and 2 Weapon Mounts on a Large Drone. Since 0/3 = 0 you can't put any on Micro drones as it should be.

Now that being said...I would limit Mini-drones to Tasers and Light Pistols and Small Drones Tasers to SMGs and then let the Medium Drones to Large drones mounts have the Tasers to LMGs.

That's funny. The SR4 core book says BOD / 3 too, but round down.

I agree with your recommendations though. I will probably handle it like that.

That is funny...I always ignored the Main book for Drone mods since it was better detailed in Arsenal. I don't think I ever read it.

Its always amazing how one word can change the way something works....I like the Round up though since that could allow 2 mounts on a large Drone (Car sized) which seems accurate.
