Re:A few infantry weapons

Below are a couple of weapons in use in my campaign subsector.  The
operational TL is about 11 and that is reflected in the types of weapons
in use.  There are also other considerations mainly reflected by each
weapon.  Before the listings however I should point out that I reduce
weapon wt by 2% for every TL above 6.  It makes sense that weapons should
get lighter right?  If you dont like this then increase the listed mass
by 2% for every TL above 6.

UP Marines  TL 9-Ellat 9mm Assault Rifle

The Ellat is designed to provide forces with a high lethality relatively
compact weapon of significant stopping power.  It fires caseless ammo and
is NOT ETC for reliability purposes.  It is on the lower end of the tech
spread for UP forces and is in the process of being replaced by the 7mm
Advanced Rifle.  However it is still found in some units and is a
favorite of militias and mercanaries despite its poor range.

Accurized 9mm Sniper Rifle TL 10
The only thing that this rifle has in common with the 9mm Assault rifle
is that is uses the same round.  It has a different reciever, a different
stock and barrell.  In addition it is accurized and optically sighted.
It has a good range that should prove favorable to those sharpshooting PCs.

The three round burst is an aimed 3-rd burst.  Roll D3 for number of hits
after shot is resolved.  (Only slug rifle skill-3 or above)
Shorter range in parentheses is without optical sights.


As you can see this is a pretty good sniper rifle, I think that some of
the things I have done are justified.  Any comments are welcome.
