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.

Arsenal page 147
QUOTE 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. |

And makes the Nimrod not an odd exception. Ah I'm happy now XD
