Modern Weapons List
I was wondering if anyone on the boards has put together a list of modern/contemporary weapons, their penetration values, and damage for weapons that are not explicitly listed in the Compendium.

Re: Modern Weapons List
Pretty easy, know what caliber the non-listed weapon is?
Use the penetration value and damage of a weapon that is listed of the same caliber.

PS Which, frankly damage values aren't all that realistic, but meh, they work in the RPG context of the game.

Re: Modern Weapons List
Good point, but being the lazy slouch that I am... I was hoping someone else already had a list to share.

Re: Modern Weapons List
I'm about a month or so away from my books so I can't simply feed in the round you want through a couple formula and just give you an answer. Heck I've lost my Excell charts of weapons and ammo stats.

Re: Modern Weapons List
Here's my lazy solution as we share the same gun nut player!
On wiki, look up "caliber" and the entry will have a equivelant round chart. Use that to reference a listed round in the compendium and BLAM-O! Instant baseline damage for newer rounds.

Re: Modern Weapons List
Have you tried the PB Compendium of Contemporary weapons? It should have a lot of what you are looking for, along with damage rating. Just a thought.

Re: Modern Weapons List
I think the Compendium could use an update or, possibly more appropriate, a second volume. It might include new weapons or other firearms not listed in the Compendium.
Any other things you'd like to see in a Compendium Vol. 2?

Re: Modern Weapons List
I definitely think it could use a 2ed book like HU or TMNT. I would love to see the most modern weapons and ammo, and maybe a small section on concept weapons (prototype or furturistic type weapons, if possible). I just recieved this book a couple of weeks ago as part of a x-mas package, and it shows it's age.

Truthfully it showed its age as soon as it was published. I like some of the material covered, but allot of it sucked. And some of the art wasn't so hot either.
Re: Modern Weapons List
There were plans for a fully updated version of Contemporary Weapons to come out as a companion book to the Warpath: Urban Jungle RPG (BTW, whatever happened to that).
They can't see me...Right!?

Ummm, unless I miss my guess, it is supposed to come out between Mechanoids Space and Lemuria.

Think the author is still working on it. He took a break for another project on Jimmy Hoffa and has a day job as a Police Officer.
