GLPC : Shadowrun : Voodoo Arms Catalog

>>>>>[ For a new 'shadows only' dealer, these guys have some interesting toys. Word on the street is that a team of runners broke out at least one science guy for a top secret weapons research facility, and stole most of the paydata availible. That's where voodoo got it's start. The word also has it that some of the items are still a little buggy. Still, there are some quite fun toys here... ]<<<<<

Micro Missle Launcher (MML) weapons are relative newcomers to the streets. They use 12cm self propelled smart missiles, most often with explosive heads. While quite expensive, MML weapons are attractive for their flexibility, and high damage potential. MML weapons use the MML weapon skill when fired. MML weapons suffer from normal recoil modifiers.

Caster:
The Caster is the entry level MML weapon. It incorporates a smart link system, along with the microcomputers necessary to program the micro missiles at launch. The major drawback to the Caster is that it is a single shot breach loading weapon. While this allows flexibility in shell loading, it makes the weapon somewhat impractical in heavy combat settings. The Caster is roughly the size of a large heavy pistol, with the breach load in back. Casters use heavy pistol ranges.

Warlock:
The Warlock is the high end pistol platform for micro missiles. It includes an integrated smart link 2 system, the standard microcomputer relays, cyber-selectable ammo drum position, and a biometric safety. Around the size of a SMG, Warlocks are less subtile, but still concealable. Warlocks use shotgun ranges.

Death Adder:
Death Adders are the largest of the common MML weapons. They include an integrated smart link 2 system, the standard microcomputer relays, biometric safety, and linier accelerator units in the barrel. Used in heavy combat, the Death Adder allows for clip fed SA mode firing. To enhance flexibility, it can also accept breach fed micro missiles in SS mode firing. The Death Adder is the size of an assault rifle, and uses assault rifle ranges due to the accelerator.

Standard Shell:
This is the standard micro missle in a MML weapon. It includes limited tracking ability that allows this shell to preform some unusual maneuvers such as traveling around wide corners. A complex flight path must be input by a cyberlink as well as adding a +4 modifier to the to hit roll.

Shredder Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell while in flight. Prior to impact, it will explode into a cloud of razor like debrie, shredding unprotected flesh. Use flechette rules.

Extended Range Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell, except that it has double the normal range and the power of the attack is reduced by 2.

Seeker Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell. In addition, it can be programed to lock onto a specific heat source. This information can be given to the micro missile at launch time through a cyberlink, assuming the user has thermal vision. Called shots to a person thus locked are reduced by 2. These shells can also be sent after general heat sources, locking onto a secondary target if the primary was missed. Intense heat sources may increase target numbers at the GM's option.

HE Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell. However, instead of impacting with the target, this shell detonates just short of it. The blast is identical to an offensive mini grenade. 10S damage, with a drop off of -1 per meter.

AP Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell while in flight. It does however incorporate a special head for armor penetration. Use AP rules.

AV Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell while in flight. In addition, it incorporates special warheads and shaped charges to pierce vehicular and hardened armor. Use AV rules.

Bio/Chem Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell while in flight. Unless a target forces itself into the flight path before it reaches it's target, the shell will explode short. This causes the agent it was carrying to be spread into a fine mist in a 5 meter radius.

Pluto Shell:
This shell has the features of a standard shell while in flight. Instead of impacting, it detonates a miniature nuclear device, causing a 35S explosion. The power of the explosion drops by 1 every meter outwards. This device is near universally banned.

The Subatomic Disrupter Cannon is an excellent example of a weapon released before it's time. This bulky weapon works by disrupting the subatomic structure of everything in the path of it's beam, completely ignoring all armor. The massive damage potential of the beam can be augmented into total destruction if the SDC can be fine tuned to the exact settings of the target material. This requires a Physics (8) check, and 3 complex actions. The large backpack battery holds only enough power for 4 shots. The main disadvantage of the weapon is that there is a one in six chance that the device will malfunction, disintegrating itself, and applying it's damage to everything within 3 meters of it. A SDC uses light pistol ranges.
