Uncle Jimbo's Bug Huntin' Range

They left it out in the Oort before we crawled from the sea.
The gate of Paradise.
Or the mouth of Hell.

Campaign

The most up to date military technology of 2201 includes advanced charge weapons (see Charge Guns), laser and quantum weapons, stutter guns for non-lethal attack, and heavy weapons tipped with micro-fusion devices. Many areas are more backward, relying on cordite weapons of PL 4-5.

Personal armour is based on cerametal plates and carbonite-fibre bulletproof weave, with some experimental models incorporating energy-deflecting networks.

Ammunition

At character generation only, purchase of any smallarm includes 1-6 clips of ammunition. Purchase of any heavy weapon except grenade or rocket launchers includes 1-3 clips or full loads of ammunition. The Revenger and Gladius missiles use disposable launchers, giving one shot for the stated price.

Ammunition is sold in standard ammunition boxes which each contain 10 clips for smallarms, 6 clips for most heavy weapons, 6 grenades, 4 bantam rockets, 1 SAM or rocket launcher load.

Oxygen-charged rounds for cordite weapons cost as much per clip as standard rounds, but have half the usual number of rounds in a clip. These rounds will fire normally in vacuum. The gun jams on a control die roll of 19-20 due to vacuum welding effects.
