Does this mean that core troopers wil get cap rifles models instead of movie ones ?
I'm assuming Flechette ammo is straight out the barrel then ? Not a grenade ?
Does it use any of the rules from the last rules preview ?
They'll probably use Moritas, it's the general name for all the rifles in the Movie and TV series.
It might be that there's special grenade launcher ammo called Flechette ammo, which is basically shooting bunches of toothpick-like barbs similar to a shotgun.
The morita isn't a complex gun, so it could probably be mass produced on a Fed occupied scale rather easily.
It'll be interesting how they differentiate the core and cap troops. Cores have much lower resiliance (lower target, hit, and kill stats) but it seems like they still use the same 2xd6 rifle and there's a lot more of them. So, they could probably put out a big wall of fire, but without the mobility of jump packs, once the bugs close in things get really ugly.

The Morita underslung grenade launcher can fire three different types of grenade; flechette, fragmentation, and "bugshot". Flechette is like a shotgun blast, frag is, go figure, like a frag grenade, and "bugshot" is like a heavy shotgun blast but it is slower to fire than the other two.
Just thought I'd share...

[/quote]Cool !!!!!!!!! Do flechette/buckshot use any special fire rules like stream weapons do , etc.............. ?
I'd imagine flechette to be a ranged scattergun type weapon (shotguns have more range than most people think, even more so with flechette). Bugshot should probably be akin to those massive Pepper rounds from Vietnam, think of a shotgun shell the size of a 40mm grenade and enough gunpoweder to back it up.
Yep, it's morbid, but when you're facing bugs, there's no time to be squeemish.
