Dude, Where's My Uzi?

[Shadow Warrior]

Just picked up a copy of the core rulebook. A most excellent job indeed (apart from the artwork in the character generation section which sucks big time). I am a diehard MegaTraveller geek and I never thought it would better that but I do believe it has.

However, where is that weapon beloved of all Travellers since the classic edition? Equally at home in any ship's locker or the hands of a TL6 grunt, the SMG! A most distressing omission indeed.

That aside, it's nice to see an RPG rulebook that spells "armour" correctly. :wink:

Note the rate of fire on the "Auto-pistol".

There's your SMG. Remove the ROF for a *real* auto-pistol, and we get both.

Dude, here's your Uzi*:

Submachine Gun: A light fully-automatic weapon firing pistol cartridges. Submachine guns usually come with either a rigid stock or a folding one for better accuracy. They use the Gun Combat (Slug Pistol) skill.

WEAPON   TL   RANGE   DMG   AUTO   RECOIL   MASS   MAG   COST   AMMO-COST
SMG      5    Assault 3d6-3 4      1        3      30    500    20

* I guess that an official version would probably end up in Mercenary.

I noticed the omission on first reading as well. I assumed it was an indication that more weapons would be coming in supplements. It's the "Mongoose Way".

Golan2072, you are my hero!

Thanks to all those who took the trouble to post.
