Explosive shells filled with small metal balls that explode outward in a shower of debris. This is an @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Area Effect Attacks]{Area Effect Attack} and uses the Medium Blast Template unless otherwise noted.
@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Heavy Weapon (HW)]{Heavy Weapon}. A short range, heat-seeking missile fired from an aircraft. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Area Effect Attacks]{Small Blast Template}.
\nUnless otherwise noted, missiles must “lock” onto their targets before they can be fired. This action is an opposed @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Electronics]{Electronics} roll versus the target’s maneuvering skill (@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Boating]{Boating}, @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Driving]{Driving}, or @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Piloting]{Piloting}, as appropriate). Success gives the attacker a “short” lock and allows him to fire up to half the missiles his particular craft can fire at once. A raise is a more solid lock and allows him to fire all of them.
\nThe enemy attempts to evade each missile separately by making a maneuvering roll at −4 (or −2 if the target has substantial cover to hide behind—such as asteroids, skyscrapers, canyon walls, or even large enemy ships. A @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Trait Rolls]{Critical Failure} means the craft goes @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-tables.Out of Control]{Out of Control}.
\nAnti-Missile Systems: Warships and futuristic space vessels often have “point defense” systems to shoot down incoming missiles. Operators must be on @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Hold]{Hold} to shoot down missiles; automated systems attack automatically. The system grants a single @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Shooting]{Shooting} roll per missile at Short @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Range]{Range} and any other relevant modifiers (including @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Speed]{Speed}—missiles move at Mach 1, a −6 penalty, unless otherwise noted). Unless otherwise noted, missiles are objects with a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Breaking Things]{Toughness} of 8 (2).
\nShields add to a character’s @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Characters]{Parry} as shown in the Parry rating. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Cover and Obstacles]{Cover} subtracts from ranged attacks from the front and shielded side (attacks from the rear or unprotected side ignore cover).
\nMedieval shields are @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Breaking Things]{Hardness} 10 and provide +2 @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Armor]{Armor} should someone attempt to shoot through them (see @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Cover and Obstacles]{Obstacles}).
\nWhile worn, shields can be used to bash for Str+d4 damage.
\nLasers fire intensely focused beams of light to penetrate and burn their targets.
\nCauterize: Anyone Incapacitated by a laser blast adds +2 to his @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Vigor} rolls to keep from @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Damage Effects]{Bleeding Out}.
\nOvercharge: This weapon can overcharge to cause an extra d6 damage, but if any of the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Shooting]{Shooting} dice are a 1, the weapon must cool down for a full round before it can be fired again.
\nNo Recoil: Pistols, SMGs, and rifles ignore the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Recoil]{Recoil} penalty. Gatling lasers still take the penalty, however, which is why they’re usually mounted on a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-equipment.Bipod/Tripod]{tripod}.
\nRevolvers typically have six chambers that must be reloaded one bullet at a time, though separate cylinders called “speed loaders” are also available for more modern firearms for about 10% of the weapon’s cost.
Creates an area of smoke in a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Area Effect Attacks]{Large Blast Template} that obscures vision (–4).
\nGrenades activate when their safety pin is pulled, then detonate a few seconds later. They are thrown with the @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Athletics]{Athletics} skill at the Ranges listed, and cannot make use of @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Range]{Extreme Range}.
\nAll grenades are @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Heavy Weapon (HW)]{Heavy Weapon} and detonate in the listed blast template (see @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Area Effect Attacks]{Area Effect Attacks}). Grenades may be @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Evasion]{Evaded}.
\nHeavy balls of iron, lead, or stone designed to batter walls or plow through packed ranks of troops. To fire, the leader of the crew makes a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Shooting]{Shooting} roll as usual. If successful, roll a die. If even, it bounces to another victim behind and within 6” of the first and hits him as well. Continue in this way until the die roll is odd.
@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Heavy Weapon (HW)]{Heavy Weapon}. A medium range, radar-guided missile fired from an aircraft. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Area Effect Attacks]{Small Blast Template}.
\nUnless otherwise noted, missiles must “lock” onto their targets before they can be fired. This action is an opposed @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Electronics]{Electronics} roll versus the target’s maneuvering skill (@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Boating]{Boating}, @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Driving]{Driving}, or @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Piloting]{Piloting}, as appropriate).

\nMay fire a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Three-Round Burst]{Three-Round Burst}.
@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Shotguns]{Shotguns} fire a spread of pellets (called “shot” or “buckshot”) to increase the shooter’s chance of hitting his target. Up close, the blast can be devastating.
Targets must make a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Traits]{Vigor} roll (at –2 with a raise) or be @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-powers.Stun]{Stunned}.

\n@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Two Hands]{Two hands}
\nBasic swords and scimitars
Includes cavalry sabers
Thompson submachine guns may also use a 50-round drum. This increases the weight by 2 lbs and each loaded drum costs $50.
\nTypical magazine sizes are listed with each weapon. Additional magazines are available at 10% of the weapon’s cost and weigh about 1 lb each, fully loaded.

\n@Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Heavy Weapon (HW)]{Heavy Weapon}. A wire-guided missile fired from a portable or vehicle-mounted launcher. Doesn’t require a lock—just a @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-skills.Shooting]{Shooting} roll, and can’t be jammed. @Compendium[swade-core-rules.swade-rules.Area Effect Attacks]{Medium Blast Template}.

\nCatapults are simple devices that hurl large stones at enemy defenses or ranks of troops. They normally require a crew of eight to load the projectile, crank down the lever that propels it, then sight and aim it. Firing can be done by a single person, but loading the projectile takes at least four.
\nTypical magazine sizes are listed with each weapon. Additional magazines are available at 10% of the weapon’s cost and weigh about 1 lb each, fully loaded.
Typically only found in ancient times or pre-iron civilizations.
