Also wadcutters(designed to expand to give neat holes in paper
targets) and mercury cored rounds (a well of mercury in the bullets
core is ruptured when it hits, expanding the bullet)
Most dum dums are home made. Tech+weaponsmith, Easy
NB. DumDums fired from highpower weapons may have the cores blown out
and leave the jackets in the chamber.This jams the gun and is dif 15 to
clear.
| Weapon Calibre | Damage Bonus |
|---|---|
| Ligth | +2 |
| Medium | +D6 |
| Heavy | +2D6 |
| V.Heavy | +2D6 |
This does not effect weapons damage or penetration until after armour has been taken into account. If the Bullet penetrates, add on the damage bonus to the damage left.
Wounds caused are at -1 to stun save on first roll, due to shock. If
the wound is to Chest or Head, them also -1 to first Death Save.
If the bullet was stopped by armour, add the damage bonus to the
bullets total
damage when calculating Blunt Trauma and armour damage.

'Rockshot'
Conductive plastic slugs with a peizo-electric tip and explosive
granules of C12 or higher embedded. On impact the Explosive detonates.
These carry much more explosive than simple exploders, and are
available for heavy and v.hvy calibres only.
The Round does damage as an explosive bullet (+2D6) but it also has
an effect radius of .5m doing damage =1/2 bullet damage.
Against ANY armour (SP 10 or greater) the bullet hits and
explodes, doing 1/3 damage rolled to hit location by trauma, OR normal
damage -SP, whichever is higher.
The larger charge also modifies save by -2 not -1 if it penetrates and
explodes.
Direct hits on limbs that cause 8+damage wreck the limb (Mortal 0
wound) Hits of over 16+ damage blow the limb OFF.
Cost x5
Armour Piercing
These Bullets have Steel cores under a copper jacket, allowing them to
be fired without damaging the gun.
Armour is halved
Damage is halved after armour
Cost x3
Titanium Rounds
The bullet is solid titanium with a teflon jacket. Titanium is almost
half the
weight of steel, yet has the same strength, so the bullet travels a lot
faster
than a KTW and slows down quicker in the target. Unfortunatly it also
slows a
lot faster in normal travel, making it armour piercing only at point
blank to
medium ranges.
Armour is at half Sp if range is medium or less.
Any damage that penetrates is as normal.
Pen +1
Cost x10
Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide is very heavy and very hard. Solid TC bullets are very
hard
to get, as the tools used to machine most metals have TC edges. As
penetrators
they are very effective, so TC cored bullets are very good as AP.
Armour SP is one third.
Any damage that penetrates is halved
Pen +1
Cost x 15
Depleted Uranium
The Uranium is no longer radioactive (allegedly) but is very heavy,
making it
perfect as a heavy core penetrator. Unfortunatly, getting it is very
hard, although rumours of Army snipers with DU rounds for 'special use'
pop up from
time to time.
DU rounds can only be used in Very Heavy handguns and Military calibre
rifles.
(unless custom made)
Recent tests seem to show that the dust from combustion of Du may
become radioactive again, so wear a dust mask. radioactive dust may
contaminate the
firer, the point of impact and along the line of flight, so be
carefull.
The uranium is pyrotic and may ignite upon impact with SP20 or higher.
(doing an extra D3 burn damage a turn for D6+1 turns)
Bullets damage +D6(pistols) +2D6 (rifles)

Single Flechette Rounds
These contain a single sabotted flechette, which is fired like a normal
bullet. When the round leaves the gun the sabot falls away allowing the
flechette to fly free at very high speeds.
The Flechette is Armour Piercing (half Sp) and bends when it enters the
target,
'fishhooking' and twisting. The wounds caused are punctures and tears
rather
than the 'wound channel' of removed flesh that normal bullets leave
behind.
They usually pass through the victim, exiting at an angle.
At point blank range, the sabots have enough energy to cause D6 damage.
Damage after armour is at 2/3 normal
Pen +1
Cost x3
Fragmentation Flechettes
These are pre-stressed to break up as they 'fishhook', breaking into
several
smaller peices that slow down faster, transfering more energy to the
victim and stopping the flechette in the body.
Armour is at 1/2 SP
Damage after armour is as normal.

Armour Piercing flechettes
These are heavy flechettes of high density alloys that do not bend or
deform
in the target. they will pass straight through the target without any
deviation.

High Explosive Flechettes
These have a thread of high explosive inside the body of the flechette
that breaks it up inside the target.This causes similar effects to the
fragmentation
flechettes, as the remains of the flechette stay in the body.
Armour is halved
damage after armour is +2 (small explosive bullet)

Cost x 4
Poisoned Flechettes
These are light flechettes designed to break up and deliver a toxin
into the
body of the victim. Dosed with poisoned to make even minor wounds
lethal, these
are cheap 'quick kill' weapons.
Toxin types
1/The Toxin is a Neurotoxin and kills within 30 seconds.
(unless make BOD25 roll)
The ammo must be stored in a cooler and goes off in the heat
2/The toxin is Blood active, and causes internal haemoraging and organ
damage
before death to demoralise. Death takes 30 minutes.
Armour is at half SP
Damage that penetrates is halved

AP-HE flechettes
These combine a Heavy penetrating dart with a explosive thread that
ruptures the body of the flechette in the body, breaking it up and
stopping it in
the targets body.

Dual Purpose
These have a Tungsten Carbide rod in a soft lead jacket. When the
jacket hits
it expands like a hollowpoint, but if it hits armour the jacket is
stopped and
the penetrator rod slides free, acting like an armour piercing round.

Hydroshock
These have a wadcutter shaped lead jacket around a steel pin. The
jacket expands as a wadcuttter, and the pin allows some Armour piercing
ability.
To use Hydroshock rounds a gun needs custom Porting (150 euro) or its
reliability drops one class.

Memory Expander Flechettes
These are State Of The Art ballistic examples of the wonders of memory
metals
When fired they are high density armour piercing flechettes, but
fractions of
a second after a high power impact they flatten out to heavy discs the
size
of saucers.
Neadless to say, this expansion occurs in the body, causing massive
injury.

Black Top Glaser Safety slug
This is the almost Mythical 'Armour Piercing Glaser' round that the
Military
are rumoured to have. It can defeat light Kevlar, interior doors,
clothes and
other light armour. It also acts just like the normal 'Blue Top'
Glasers in
all other ways, making it very lethal.
Cannot Penetrate SP 15 or higher, Ignores lighter armour

SPLAT
Synthetic PLastic Ammunition for Training.
This was first used as a low lead bullet for target range use, but its
lead dust and polymer mix composition makes it break up in targets.
this makes it ideal for stopping targets.
Damage +D6+1
Cannot penetrate SP20 or higher, whatever rolled
Pen as normal but MAX B
Cost as normal.
THV
'Tres Haute Vites'
This bullet uses a revolutionary 'reverse Ogive' design, as the bullet
actually curves inward. It looks like a fat drawing pin that curves our
wider down the bullet, but the shape reflects the shock waves of the
impact
away from the bullet at 90 degrees to the impact.
This literally tears the target appart with the shockwave, which is
equivalent
to a bullet two and a half times the THV's diameter.
The Round is Armour Piercing, as the impact pushes the armour apart,
and the
damage is high. The bullet slows rapidly after impact so it will not
shoot through its target.
Armour is at half SP
Damage is x 2.5 after armour

Cost x8
GECO Plastic
The GECO round is hollow through out its lenght, with a plastic centre
pin
that falls free after firing. this causes the bullet to tumble in the
wound,
spinning off at random angles. This causes a lot of tearing and it is
possible
for the bullet to travel the lenght of the target before exiting the
body.
Of course it is possible for the bullet to go into the body and then
swerve off
to one side and exit leaving only a minor wound as it doesn't expand.
Roll D4 divided by Two. (range 1/2, 1, 1.5, 2)
If x1/2 x1 or x1.5 Multiply damage by this number.
if a four is rolled, the bullet passed into the next location on the
body, (equal chance of each) doing normal damage again.
Cost x 2
Equialloy
These are long aluminium bullets coated in plastic, designed to be used
in revolvers. they are very high speed rounds but slow quickly in a
target, and cannot peirce SP20 or higher, or walls (they were designed
to be used inside Airplanes).
When rolling damage, reroll 1's and 2's .each die can only be
rerolled once, so the second roll must be taken.
Cost x2
Ceramic Rounds
These rounds are brittle and weak, designed to break up on impact with
anything hard. they do 1/4 damage to Hard targets (Pen -2) and full
damage to
soft targets (like flesh)
Cost x1.5
Tazer Darts
Low velocity capacitor packages, these are fired like normal bullets,
but
with half normal range, and they are so low power they cannot work the
action
of a gas-auto weapon, so they have to be manually chambered (ROF1)
They can shock through SP 5 or less of armour (ignoring skinweave or
subdermal)
Any do a BOD 15 shock. (roll Bod+D10, 15+ or pass out for D6 mins)
Cost x3
Tumblers
These bullets twist in the target, spinning and tearing. they take on
unusual curved paths and exit the body from almost anywhere.
In A true case, a UK Police Markman with a .38 special revolver was
ordered to
stop a prize bull that had broken loose and injured several people. As
it was a valuable animal, he shot it in the leg. The bullet hit the
bone in
the leg, tumbled up the leg, into the chest, punctured a lung, burst
the heart
and exited through the opposite shoulder. The Bull dropped dead.
Multiply tumbler damage by D4/2, giving a range fron x1/2 (minor
flesh wound)
to x2 (moved into nearest location, equal chance for each possible
location)

Subsonic
These Bullets are very low signiture, as they travel below the speed of
sound
This is usually due to an increased bullet weight, giving a slow, heavy
round
that causes normal damage without supersonic 'crack'

Prestressed
The bullet has been prestressed so it is brittle, splintering into tiny
metal fragments the size of hairs. In the body these creep through
flesh
and cause massive tissue damage. the day after a wound in the arm, the
whole
limb will be a mass of purple ruptured and livid flesh.
