Gauss SMG

At first glance it looks good. Like the graphic. Stats seem to be in line with CSC. Other SMGs use Range: Shotgun, I'm assuming you went with Range: Rifle due to the speed/accuracy inherent in Gauss weapons? I'm ok with that. Haven't done a hard analysis yet to check for any game stat problems but I don't expect to find any either...

It may be an issue with the CSC, but the pistol also has rifle range, so I kept it the same for the SMG, maybe I should up the damage some, at least to navy pistol.
Nah, I think the damage and range are good the way they are.
Ah, speaking of the Navy pistol, your description says "Accepts Gauss Pistol Magazines", you might want to clarify "Army Gauss Pistol" if that's what you meant.
Typically, for "Grunt" equipment, the AF uses Army equipment. If the AF uses it and already has one, then the Army will just use the same equipment. The Navy/Marines are the ones that always gotta have their own stuff. For some things in the RL, for the US Navy that is, I can understand. Their equipment has to be salt water and super vibration resistant. Other things, meh, I think it is an institutional thing.
Not always. US Navy doesn't really train on any personal weapons as a general rule, unless you are on Base Defense, SeeBee or some form of SpecOps. And unless they changed it in the last few years, the "standard" rifle was the M14 on shipboard.
For example I never touched a weapon when I was in the Navy until I got assigned a secondary duty of Base Defense. In 1991 US Navy Base Defense weapons were .45 Cal Pistol, M14 rifle and 12ga Shotgun.

heh, for the US Navy those calibers ARE a very common supply. Any ships stock plenty of ammo for their purposes considering that rifles and pistols don't really get used that often. And as for parts, Navy ships usually have a full machine shop and usually Gunner's Mates and Machine Mates who can fabricate just about anything from metal blanks kept in stock...

In Traveller terms, the US Navy is part of the Army... :wink: (but we won' talk about that, or things like when we found some squidly had wedged his scunge towel in the tube of our 'new' M101A1 during transpo.)
Traveller Navy is more similar to the Air Force, IMO, but it still wouldn't explain why they would have different pistol parts so as to not have interchangeable clips.
