MUSCLE-POWERED
RANGED WEAPON TABLE
All terms and notation in this table follow the definitions
on pp. B268-271. In brief:
TL: The tech level at which the weapon became widespread
in the real world.
Weapon: The name of the weapon or class of weapon; see
the matching entry on pp. 212-226.
Damage: The ST-based damage that the weapon inflicts.
Acc: Accuracy, the bonus to skill if you take an Aim
maneuver before attacking.
Range: The number before the slash is Half-Damage
Range; at or beyond this range, halve the weapon’s damage
roll. The number after the slash is Maximum Range. These
are expressed as multiples of the wielder’s ST – or the
weapon’s ST, for crossbows.
Weight: The weapon’s weight, in lbs. If the weapon has
Shots 1, this is unloaded weight and the weight after the
slash is that of one shot. If the weapon has shots 2+, this is
loaded weight and the weight after the slash is that of one
full reload.
RoF: Rate of Fire. This is 1 for all of these weapons (but
see Ranged Attack Options, pp. 119-121).
Shots: The number of shots the weapon can fire before
you must reload. “T” indicates a thrown weapon. The parenthetical
number is the number of Ready maneuvers
required to reload the weapon or ready another thrown
weapon. An “i” next to this means the time listed is per shot.
Crossbows use special rules; see pp. B270, B410.
Cost: The price of a new weapon, in $.
ST: The minimum ST needed to use the weapon properly;
wielders with lower ST suffer -1 to skill per point of ST
deficit. “†” means the weapon requires two hands. This isn’t
the ST used to determine range and damage for a crossbow;
see p. B270.
Bulk: The penalty to skill when you take a Move and
Attack maneuver (p. B365) or use Holdout to conceal the
weapon.
Notes: Applicable footnotes at the end of the table.
