What weaponry do your runners typically carry on standard walk-around town times?

I typically, for a "samurai" or "gun-bunny", carry a heavy pistol in concealable holster(a paddle holster or a shoulder rig), a light pistol and/or machinepistol(also in a shoulder rig) in concealable holster. A survival knife, or folder or similar tool. A few grenades. Two wallets(each with seperate identification), and reloads for my weapons. A cell phone. Cigerettes and a lighter/matches. Condoms.

It's served me very well in the past. My typical wepaons are Predator, Ceska Skorpian and Fichetti 500a(THE primiere choice for deep carry). The Fichetti has made it in with me pretty far, while I tend to turn in the Predator and ceska if I think it's going to be risky getting them past secrutiy.

Just walking around town? Maybe a concealed pistol in a quick-draw holster and a secure jacket if it's a rough part of town.

[Firewall]

Tres chic, long-coat and a Beretta 101-T in a conceled holster. Every inch the sarariman. (he is ex-Renraku, so he knows how to pull it off)

For a night on the town, he includes 'the briefcase'. Deck or an SSM-3, depending on requirements. (his role is decker / sniper)

[Pthgar]

My Adept carries a Heavy Pistol in a concealed shoulder holster, and a SuperSquirt II loaded with Gamma-Scopolomine in an kle holster.

[Abstruse]

Actioneer line and a concealed silenced Browning Ultra-Power with five spare clips if it's a rough neighborhood or there's a good chance there'll be trouble (meet with a Johnson), and FFBA half suit with Tres Chic clothes and the Actioneer long coat plus the nice Browning mentioned above if it'll be less likely to be trouble (concert, dinner date, etc). What? I like to dress nice...

The Abstruse One

[Kakkaraun]

My characters almost always /start out/ on street lifestyles (what can I say, I like playing myself :)), so...everything.

Heh.

Colt Manhunter, a couple of extra clips, secure jacket, switchblade.

[Wireknight]

I think my character's maximum concealed carry arsenal consists of...

A silenced light pistol under the left arm, dart pistol under the right arm, a spare magazine for each, a MGL-6(small of back or ankle, depending on your interpretation of the weapon's profile), a half-dozen densiplast throwing knives, a tactical folding knife, hardliner gloves, two lightly weighted throwing spikes, a pair of forearm snap blades, a pair of folding boot knives, a pair of collapsible densiplast tonfas, a collapsible staff, and maybe a small explosive device or two, such as quarter-kilogram C-XIII shaped charges.

[broho_pcp]

I just built a troll ganger (80 b.p.) who carries a stick and wears clothing.

(the idea was H. of V's.)

[Siege]

Eek, you people scare me.

For every day wear? Like, the corner pub or grocery shopping?

Every day
Colt Manhunter, three mags (1 loaded, two spare)
concealed holster (shoulder rig, hip, cross-hip, jacket lining)
tactical light
multi-tool
trauma patch
cell phone
secure jacket (+ FFBA if likely trouble)
forearm guards and/or hardliner gloves

Concealed carry, expecting trouble
subvocal mike (if adept)
microtransceiver
silencer
pinches of c-4 or c-12 (if not corporate area)
grapple line
survival knife

Carried occasionally if need expected
backpack
medkit (it sounds strange, but it makes "hey, I'm an off-duty medic" more beliveable)
microtronics toolkit ("Sorry officer, but sometimes a patient has 'ware that needs stabilizing...")

*Although this conversation does spawn an interesting point -- given the dangerous nature of a shadowrunner's usually brief life, is (s)he ever really willing to walk around without armor and some form of unusual gear?

Off-duty cops almost always carry a weapon, just in case...

-Siege

Edit: Either remote or wire detonators, should explosives be required

[Gotti]

Excellent.

Now, further along the line. What does your character have in the trunk of his/her car if you have one?

Me, typically an americar or other cheap junk-mobile(nothing too flashy) with an assault rifle in the trunk, lotsa ammo for said assault rifle. Grenades. Shotgun in the passenger comparment. Ceska under the seat. Armour. A camos-suit, or more(preferably urban, southeastern forest, and a southern plains patterns). Flares. flashlight. Duct tape. Carton of cigerettes. Blankets, change of clothes etc.

I got to the ride when it get's bad. :D

[Wireknight]

20x83mm anti-materiel rifle, broken down, with ten rounds of armor piercing incendiary ammunition.

And a spare tire.

[Neon Tiger]

Well it depends on my char, but my main char, Maelstrom, only carries a kris and long coat + formfitting. (And 2 credsticks, 1 real, 1 fake.) He really doesn't need anything more, because with Sorcery/Spellcasting 6/12 and spells like Manabolt, Stunball, Lightning Bolt, Fireball and Armageddon, he can transform into a walking artillery platform in an instant. 8)

[sidartha]

My last character walked around with a Slivergun in a conceal quick draw holster, 1 spare mag, FFBA, armored suit or Securetech longcoat, Pocket Secretary, fake ID, cigs+light.
In the Porche Winter's trunk :P he had a Savior Medkit and another fake ID.
At home for night-of-the-run use only was a Runthenium cloak various electronic gear, a dart pistol w/silencer and a spare mag, an HK227S w/three spare mags, Battletak Master Unit, and so on and so forth.
Basically if jumped on the street and the fight is not decided in one combat turn then he runs away and comes back tooled up. carrying an arsenal down the street is a good way to attract unwanted attention.

[Solstice]

carry at all times (Japanese female sam/sniper/b&e/assassin):
tres chic suit
ffba (2nd skin line)
auctioneer
2 x custom designed heavy pistols (10M dmg, MAD undetectable, conceal 7)
2 x cougar fine blades
certified credstick with 15,000 on it
misc funds in color/script
cell phone/pda
Drug known only as "J". Interrogation drug,


In car/bike:
Barret sniper rifle heavily modified
2 x Ares monokatanas dikoted
gas grenades

[Eyeless Blond]

Yeesh, and I thought I was being over-paranoid carrying around a Secure Long coat and a Slivergun in a concealable holster as street clothes. How can you guys carry two pistols around w/ three mags each anyway? I take it your GMs aren't that anal about encumberance, right?

Btw, don't you get odd looks wandering around the Barrens in tres chic clothing? Isn't that just inviting gangers to mess with you?

[Austere Emancipa...]

[Smiley]

On person: Cougar Fineblade (Dikoted, of course), Browning Ultra-power, many, many, throwing knives.

In the car: everything else i can concievably fit in it.

Mostly, it's the tres chic over some FFBA and a long coat over it. Sunglasses/smartgoggles, too.

[mcb]

My rigger when away from his rig carries a Colt single action army in 45LC. In a left handed cross draw holster worn behind him for easy right had draw from under his long duster while keeping it out of sight behind him. There's and extra 18 rounds in loops on the belt for reloads. When the $H!T hits the fan he grabs his trusty SxS 12 gage and a handfull of buckshot. Yah he does wear snake skin ropers, his belt buckle is the size of a small salad plate and he wears a worn out straw hat like Tobby Keith's.

[broho_pcp]

Normal day life I usually wear a ffhb suit, normal clothing and will have a knife/ext. baton/nunchaku/shock gloves; depending upon my best skill. I prefer to walk around and rely on my wits.

[Arethusa]

Good lord. That's one gigantic air intake.

[edit]

mcb, I do believe you are positively stylish.

[Solstice]

interesting gear choices and a neat character concept. I personally would not use such outdated weaponry. This is 2063 omae, speed kills.

Single action lol!
