QUOTE (Tymeaus Jalynsfein @ Oct 31 2012, 09:18 AM)  Why does it need to be powered? A Forearm Slide already gives you a free action to equip a weapon, and extending the baton is a non-action. Therefore no GM approval really needed here. *shrug* Eh, I was thinking it took the same action as a telescoping staff, my bad. |

QUOTE (Dakka Dakka @ Oct 31 2012, 05:05 PM) This makes no sense if you can buy grenade launchers, flamethrowers and even bola launchers as accessories. Why? Those accessories are already fitted for mounting underbarrel. |

So . . the HOST weapon needs an UNDER mount and the CLIENT weapon needs the under barrel mod, right?
What's to stop one from attaching an under barrel modded client weapon to an OVER mount by turning it 180°? |

As written it says that only longarms, machine guns, and assault cannons can be made into underbarrel weapons. This however is as preposterous as saying both the host and the client need the modification.For your convenience: QUOTE ('Arsenal p. 153') This mod is generally only available for longarms, machine guns, and assault cannons. What they probably wanted to say is: "Thus modded weapons can generally only be attached to/installed in longarms, machine guns, and assault cannons." The following sentence makes more sense that way as well:QUOTE ('Arsenal p. 153') It is also possible to install this system into melee and other unconventional weapons—popular options include single-shot weapons installed in parallel guns with an under-barrel one-shot shotgun barrel and smart swords with a small pistol in the hilt to fi re a bullet along the blade, etc. |
