When firing homing rounds they may take more than one turn to reach the target. Basic rules (p.B413) say to use any 1/2D figure as projectile speed but this doesn’t really work for small arms.

Weapons: AKM and Maku
At the dawn of the 22nd century the AK-47/AKM still continues to soldier on. Most of the weapons in active use are minifactured or 3D printed replicas, of course, but the Kalashnikov is still a common sight in many of the remoter parts of the world or even off-world. Some have even been forged by […]

Weapons: THS-era Hydra Rockets
The THS-era enjoys considerable advances in computing and miniaturization. Homing projectiles as small as 4mm are relatively common. New compositions of explosives make smaller weapons more powerful. It is inevitable that such technologies will be used to upgrade some older, well-established weapon systems. Hydra FFAR Rockets 2.75"/70mm rockets such as the current Hydra-70 still see […]

Weapons: Police Armgun
We are told very little about the police armgun in the original book (THS3e p.155) or “Changing Times” (p.62). We are told it holds four 15mm micro-missiles and an electrolaser. The electrolaser is described as a pistol but its profile suggests something between an electrolaser pistol and rifle. The “Assault Pod” containing a 4mm PDW […]
A military commander or political leader in 2100 has hitherto unheard of levels of surveillance at his disposal. Surveillance dust and fluff, spybirds, satellites, bumblebots, high-altitude UAVs and many other systems. High level AIs rapidly process vast amounts of raw data into usable information. Accordingly, the strategies of enemies have adapted to deal with such […]

Weapons: M249 Booster
I encountered the idea of cut-down M249s on a cyberpunk website. It is a fun idea for THS if you want to give criminals or the low-strata of society an unanticipated offensive capability! M249 Booster “Booster” is one of the street names for a weapon that has become increasingly available in certain urban areas. Initially […]
