Arms

Humans have killed other humans since our species first crawled out of the primordial ooze. As time has gone on, we have invented new and creative ways to bring each other’s lives to premature and messy ends. Below are a wide cross-section of ways this is commonly done in the twenty-third century.

Ballistic Projectiles

It has been said, “God made man, but Samuel Colt made them equal.” Whatever the case may be, ballistic projectiles have been a favored method of murder for centuries. These guns are common in the twenty-third century.

Laser Projectiles

Laser weapons are bulkier and have fewer shots between reloads than their ballistic counterparts. Nevertheless, their recoil-free nature means that they have a distinctive advantage in low gravity environments.

“Indra” Light Laspistol	5 burn	Per ×2	5	2	Close, Str 3	400¤	Common

Grenades

Where small arms fail, heavy arms may succeed. Either way, they’re likely to leave collateral damage. Below one can find a variety of listings for grenades.

Melee Weapons

Over the millennia, humanity has invented numerous melee weapons. In the twenty-third century, some of these melee weapons still see common use.

Weapon	Damage	Parry	Properties	Cost	Availability
Baton	4 sm	3	Close	30¤	Uncommon
Combat Utility Knife	3 cut	2	Close, Thrown	25¤	Common
Monowhip XT	3 cut	0	Pierce 10	250¤	Rare
“Firefly” Shockstick	3 sm	3	Close, Stun	150¤	Uncommon
Unarmed	2 sm	2	Close, Feeble	—	—

Baton: Batons are a tried-and-true classic when it comes to dealing out blows with a minimum of lethal force. Favored as a control weapon by light security forces the world over, it never hurts to have a baton at your side. Batons telescope for easy pocket storage. Available in both solid colors and faux-wood.

Combat Utility Knife: It’s a weapon. It’s a tool. It’s both! Combat utility knives are a versatile weapon and tool, balanced for both hand-to-hand use as well as sudden throws. Knives can be used to cut rope, pry open simple doors or butter toast. Never leave home without one! The handle comes in a variety of custom styles.

Monowhip XT: Crafted by exotic materials experts, the Monowhip XT is a coiled strand of near-monomolecular wire with a weight on the end held in a magnetized handle. Upon pressing a button, a power source in the handle causes the wire to uncoil and extend outward, providing the ideal cutting tool. Monowhips tear through armor like cardboard, but their limited tensile strength means they are typically one-use weapons, breaking after they successfully strike a target.

“Firefly” Shockstick: Incapacitate your opponents with a nonlethal electric charge, using this “Firefly” Shockstick. The Firefly is a telescoping baton that has a rubberized grip on one end. This insulates the wielder from the electric charge, which can be switched on or off using a button on the grip. If used to strike, the electrolyzed end discharges, delivering a shock to the opponent intended to stun or incapacitate.

Unarmed: It doesn’t get much more primal than old-school fisticuffs. Despite all the technological ways to go for blood, fistfights remain the most common form of violence in the Sol system. This listing represents the human capacity to attack with fists, feet or teeth.

Ammunition

Most projectile weapons require ammunition of some sort—whether bullets or battery power. These are sold in clips (for ballistic firearms) or batt-packs (for laser projectiles). Both clips and batt-packs are designed to be easily ejected and inserted. Below are some basic options for ammunition.

Item	Properties	Cost	Availability
Ballistic Clip	—	20¤	Common
Laser Batt-Pack	—	50¤	Common

Ballistic Clip: What are guns without clips of ammunition? Poorly-designed clubs! Don’t bring a club to a gunfight. Ammunition is sold in clips fitting the gun in question. Most guns have their own standard for ammunition in terms of both caliber and cartridge design. The type of gun the ammo is designed for must be specified when the clip is purchased.

Laser Batt-Pack: Keep your lasers powered up and ready! Laser weapons are powered by high-density batt-packs, capable of releasing the tremendous charge necessary to power weaponized lasers in a small amount of time. The downside of these high-density batt-packs is that it takes serious industrial equipment to recharge them, meaning that batt-packs are typically bought as one-use items and the expended packs simply sold back to the manufacturer for pocket change. Each batt-pack holds the weapon’s listed “shots” in charges. Like clips, batt-packs are typically manufactured for a single model of firearm.
