Well here are a few more gun designs, all using 19mm explosive bullets. Since
Loren said GDW didn't need any more RCES firearms, I guess these are anti-
Star Viking weapons (suits me- the only good Star Viking is one you use as a
barricade). I hope these are some use to Refs next time they need to scare
the players away from combat. In the hands of PCs..... well at least the
combats will go quicker.

(at this price they have to be)
It can use clips from the previously posted pistol version.
Big Note- FF&S doesn't tell you when to round numbers, and whether you round
them up or down, and which way you round 0.5. I've followed the
ACR example in FF&S, but it's a matter of taste whether the ranges
for HEAP are 7 or 8
i.e. the range for ball comes to about 9.7, round to 10
ACR example shows you use the figure of 10 for calculating
ranges of other rounds, not the 9.7, so HEAP has a range of
7.5 - round to taste.

Has folding shock-absorbing stock- use the first range values when
fired one-handed/stock folded, and the second for fire using the
stock. Same with Bulk value. Recoil is always 1 either way...
It has a heavy barrel and receiver, so hopefully it won't overheat.

19mm Magnum 12 19*21mm 7.724kg 11.609kg 3.885kg 250b 2882Cr 0.182/1296Cr
Recoil.

-1 Nil 30 Tranq
2 1-Nil 81 DS
Notes- Includes-Optic Sights (*1.15 to all ranges except tranq)
-Bipod (oops, I forgot to note down the range mod,
I think it's *1.3 to all ranges except tranq)
These are not included in above range scores.
-Long Muzzle Break
-Shock absorbing stock
-Gyro
Has 6 barrels. If you think that one Muzzle break for 6 barrels is
a bit silly, replace with 6 shorter muzzle breaks and make the gun
slightly heavier-
i.e. +0.876kg +100Cr. but Bulk drops to 3. Recoil remains the same.
And don't forget that recoil drops to 1 if you use the bipod....
Minor Note- it may not be a good idea to let PCs use this on NPCs, for the
following reason....
With ROF 50 it fires as ROF 10 but every hit counts as 5 normal
hits. Even if the target is wearing 16 point armour, the blunt
trauma effects of each HE or HEAP bullet are 8 points of damage
8*5 = 40 = remove NPC from board. And it fires 50 of those shots
a turn...
Hope this is useful to SOMEONE out there
