Cold steel that spits hot lead. Slug-throwing firearms are by far the most common weapons on the streets of 2075. Each weapon is chambered to take either old-fashioned cased ammunition or caseless ammo. Most firearms load caseless ammunition, with fewer and fewer models coming in variants able to handle cased ammunition. Sure, releasing a storm of shell casings when you hold down the trigger looks awesome, but it’s impractical for the modern shadowrunner and their natural enemy, law enforcement and corporate security.
Firearms come with wireless capability and a digital
ammunition counter. Ammunition (p. 433 CRB) is sold separately.
All firearms have the following wireless bonuses
in addition to any wireless bonuses on each model:
Wireless: The weapon displays an ARO that tells you
ammo levels and ammo type loaded. If you have a DNI,
you get two additional benefits. First, ejecting a clip (for
weapons that have them) is a Free Action rather than a
Simple Action. Second, changing fire modes (on models
that have more than one) is a Free Action rather than
a Simple Action.
