General Weapons Discussion

Two things right now.

1. On the Firearms draft(daft?) idea page light handgun is damage 7 while bolt-action rifle is only damage 8 although long range.

2. Shotguns can fire flechettes, they give good range and armour penetration but tend to do less damage than other types of shells. If you wanted to have these in OAGS I think they would simply have no special rules, i.e. short range is overcome, and less damage than slugs. However this might create too many possibilities for shotguns.

3. Does 4 damage really represent a grenade?

1. I've tweaked things slightly since then. Handgun is 7, light handgun is 6. But yes, rifles do only 1 point of damage more than pistols. I'm OK with this.
2. Flechettes would probably be 6 damage, halves soak. Probably not going on the weapon list, but OK if someone has a burning desire to use it.
3. No. I've upped them to 8.
