These weapons are slug-throwers and energy weapons that can be carried and fired by individual characters.

Assault Blaster: The assault blaster is a military-

grade automatic rifle capable of firing three-pulse bursts. A standard minicell is good for 20 shots with an assault blaster.

Assault Carbine: This military-grade, automatic

slug-thrower is a slightly more compact version of the assault rifle. It uses a binary chemical propellant to fire caseless ammunition. The assault carbine is capable of firing three-round bursts. A standard magazine holds 50 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 300 shots.

Assault Laser: The assault laser is a military-grade

automatic rifle capable of firing three-pulse bursts. A standard minicell is good for 20 shots with an assault laser.

Assault Rifle: This automatic slug-thrower was stan-

dard issue among military and security forces before the development of reliable and portable energy weapons. It uses a binary chemical propellant to fire caseless ammu- nition. The assault rifle is capable of firing three-round bursts. A standard magazine holds 50 rounds and a pro- pellant cartridge is good for 300 shots.

Blaster Carbine: This semiautomatic carbine is a

lighter, compact version of the blaster rifle. A standard minicell is good for 25 shots with a blaster carbine.

Blaster Pistol: This semiautomatic handgun fires

pulses of highly energetic ionized particles. A standard minicell is good for 20 shots with a blaster pistol.

Blaster Rifle: This semiautomatic rifle is the standard

civilian-issue blaster weapon. It is used for a broad range of tasks, from hunting to home defense. A stan- dard minicell is good for 30 shots with a blaster rifle.

Flamethrower: This semiautomatic weapon ignites

and jets sticky, burning fuel. The weapon deals 3d6 points of damage to everything in a 5-foot-wide stream extending to its maximum range. Characters caught in the stream can make a Reflex save (DC 20) for half damage.

Grenade Launcher: These semiautomatic, maga-

zine-fed weapons use an efficient compressed-gas mechanism to fire any of the grenade types listed in this chapter (see page 101). A standard magazine holds five grenades and the compressed-gas reservoir is good for 20 shots. For the same price as a grenade launcher pur- chased separately, these weapons can also be mounted under the barrel of an assault weapon. Some assault weapon models even come with integral launchers, pro- viding both direct fire and area-effect fire support.

Heavy Autopistol: This is a large-caliber, semiauto-

matic slug-thrower. It uses a binary chemical propellant to fire caseless ammunition. A standard magazine holds 20 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 500 shots.

Holdout Laser: This is a concealable, semiautomatic

laser pistol. It is typically used as a secondary weapon, concealed in an ankle- or forearm holster. A standard microcell is good for 15 shots with a holdout laser.

Holdout Pistol: This is a concealable, semiautomatic

slug-thrower. It is typically used as a secondary weapon, concealed in an ankle- or forearm holster. The holdout pistol uses a binary chemical propellant to fire caseless ammunition. A standard magazine holds 10 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 500 shots.

Hunting Carbine: This semiautomatic slug-thrower

is a lighter, more compact version of the hunting rifle. Hunting carbines are extremely common in civilian use, especially on frontier worlds. It uses a binary chemical propellant to fire caseless ammunition. A standard mag- azine holds 20 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 300 shots.

Hunting Rifle: This semiautomatic slug-thrower is

very common in civilian use, especially on frontier worlds. It uses a binary chemical propellant to fire case- less ammunition. A standard magazine holds 30 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 300 shots.

Laser Carbine: The laser carbine is a lighter, more

compact version of the laser rifle, and is very common in civilian use. A standard minicell is good for 25 shots with a laser carbine.

Laser Pistol: This semiautomatic energy weapon is

very common among civilians, law enforcement offi- cers, and military personnel. A standard minicell is good for 30 shots with a laser pistol.

Laser Rifle: The semiautomatic laser rifle is used for

a variety of tasks, from hunting, to home defense, to law enforcement and security. A standard power cell is good for 20 shots with a laser rifle.

Light Autopistol: This is a small-caliber, semiauto-

matic slug-thrower. It uses a binary chemical propellant to fire caseless ammunition. A standard magazine holds 25 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 500 shots.

Light Machinegun: These support weapons are some

of the most common slug-throwers remaining in mili- tary service. They fire a large-caliber rifle round at a very high rate and are effective at longer ranges than lighter weapons. Light machineguns fire five-round bursts and a standard magazine holds 100 rounds.

Missile Launcher: The man-portable, shoulder-fired

missile launcher is a common support weapon in mili- tary service. It is typically used to attack ground vehi- cles and aircraft. The missile launcher is a single-shot weapon. Missile launchers have an onboard targeting computer that provides a +3 bonus to attack rolls when a target has been acquired (see Vehicle Combat, page 157). Loading it is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Missile launchers are military weapons and access to them is tightly restricted.

Plasma Rifle: This large, military-grade weapon fires

devastating pulses of highly energetic, high-temperature plasma that inflicts severe heat damage on the target. The plasma rifle can be used in both anti-personnel and anti-vehicle roles. The plasma rifle is a semiautomatic weapon and cannot fire bursts like many other military- grade energy weapons. A heavy power cell is good for 20 shots with a plasma rifle. Plasma rifles are military- grade weapons and access to them is tightly restricted.

Rocket Launcher: The rocket launcher is a man-

portable weapon that can fire any of the rockets listed in this chapter (see page 102). It is a single-shot weapon. Loading the rocket launcher is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Rocket launchers are military-grade weapons and access to them is tightly restricted.

Rocket Launcher, Multishot: The multishot rocket

launcher is a semiautomatic weapon. Its large magazine has a capacity of four rockets. As with the single-shot launcher, reloading this weapon is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Rocket launchers are military-grade weapons and access to them is tight- ly restricted.

Screamer Pistol: This semiautomatic energy weapon

is a bit more exotic than lasers and blasters, but still fair- ly common. A standard minicell is good for 30 shots with a screamer pistol.

Screamer Rifle: This semiautomatic weapon is no

match for similar models of lasers and blasters, but it is

sometimes used when the target is suspected of having protection from fire and electricity. A standard minicell is good for 20 shots with a screamer rifle.

Shotgun: This semiautomatic, binary-propellant

weapon uses shells filled with small projectiles that scatter when it is fired. The shotgun does 3d6 points of damage to a target in the first range increment, 2d6 to a target in the second range increment, and 1d6 to anyone in a 5-foot-wide path beyond that distance out to maxi- mum range. A standard magazine holds 15 shells. A propellant reservoir is good for 300 shots.

Sniper Rifle: This semiautomatic slug-thrower is a

large-caliber rifle used primarily by law enforcement and military sharpshooters. It has excellent accuracy at extended ranges. A standard magazine holds 30 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 300 shots.

Submachine Gun: This is a military-grade, automat-

ic slug-thrower. It is smaller than a carbine and typical- ly fires ammunition in handgun calibers. It uses a bina- ry chemical propellant to fire caseless ammunition. A submachine gun is capable of firing three-round bursts. A standard magazine holds 50 rounds and a propellant cartridge is good for 300 shots.

Taser Pistol: This diminutive weapon is extremely

effective for its size. It is most often used as a self- defense weapon or by law enforcement officers, as it

can buy the wielder sufficient time to escape from a threat or to apprehend a criminal. A creature hit by a taser dart must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or be stunned for 1 round. The darts do piercing damage, but the stun effect is electrical. Creatures immune to elec- tricity are not harmed by this effect. A microcell is good for 15 shots with a taser pistol.
