Shot Guns
These are considered area of effect attacks. They do not need a proficiency to use, and the only "to hit" needed is to make certain the gun does not jam.

rv = Revolving
ss = Single Shot
at = Automatic
ab = Auto Bolt
/c = continues (auto)
ba = Bolt Action
m = manual
sa = Single Auto
cr: Is used for credit, or monetary amount. As it is not always good to know the price in AD&D gold (gp) as the price most likely would high at best and incompatible in most cases. I will let it be up to the DM to find a exchange rate from Credit(cr) to Gold Pieces(gp).
