Not that I dislike the SMG PDF, I liked your work, but I would rather have the Shotgun one. :wink:T.L. said:
I think the lowly shotgun is a weapon often ignored and yet it can be quite a handy tool to have. Opens doors, slows down crowds, can fire lots of different ammo, and has a great intimidation score. :mrgreen:

Longer barrel generally allows more efficient transfer of the propellant energy to the projectile, giving higher muzzle velocity than a pistol ('cept maybe the long-barrelled types) and concommittant increases in hitting power and accuracy.
The link goes to the French manga game site now - is the PDF still available?
And as far as SMG v. AR damage goes, even with a longer barrel an SMG firing pistol rounds still isn't going to generate the kind of muzzle energy as an assault rifle - for general game design purposes, I tend to put them somewhere between ARs and pistols. Then again, an autorifle/'battle rifle' (7.62x51mm on TL7/8 Terra) tends to deliver significantly more energy than an AR of the same era (7.62x39mm or 5.56x45mm). I'd throw in a plus or two here and there.
