For the knock out from behind ability, it doesn't clarify in the rules whether it's an automatic knock out like a critical strike from behind is an automatic critical or do you have to roll the number needed to succeed at the knock out?

If a character has the hardware spuper power cataegory and somehow manages to get a skill program that he can use to take the ancient weapons master power category, does he give up his modern weapons or keep them since he was using those first before becoming an ancient weapons master?

I am curious about the number of actions needed to chamber the next round in the weapons listed in the subject. Lever action and pump action firearms supposedly use only one action to chamber the next round and fire but it takers 2 actions to do the same with a bolt-action rifle or shotgun and nothi...

I see pages 60 and 61are missing from powers unlimited 3, does anyone know if palladium has posted them up online somewhere?

I am looking for the experience tables for the OCC's in endless dead. Does anyone know where they are?

A larger updated version of there firearms book would be nice, or their modern warfare gamebook as well

I've no doubt that is possible, but in the case of the Winchester Model 1897 12 guage the trigger disconnector is absent, allowing it to be fired with the finger on the trigger, even keeping the trigger pulled, or slam firing for those not familiar with the term, but I' getting off topic and apolog...

The pump action uses the off hand to reload a round using the pump, the other hand still has a finger on the trigger, whereas normally you use your shooting hand to work the bolt.

In the Rifts World Book 26 : Dinosaur Swamp, page 74, the Legacy Bolt-Action Rifle, Rate of Fire: each single shot counts as 2 melee attacks/actions, one action to fire and one action to work the bolt and reload the chamber. Now I will admit this is only mentioned about this gun, but as far as I kno...

This is for gaming in a wild west type setting, don't have a lot of man portable automatic weapons for then, unless you can carry a gattling gun with you

Since a bolt-action rifle takes 2 actions chamber a round and shoot, does that mean the older single shot rifles such as the rolling block, falling block and trapdoor would require 3 actions? 1 to load, 1 to shoot and 1 to unload the spent cartridge?
