Lock-N-Load Equipment

I'm going to be using several pieces of equipment found in the Lock-N-Load War Manual from the Battlelords RPG in my Rifts game. In most cases, the equipment can be brought over with no changes. Some can't. The equipment being listed below is what I will allow in my game, however, almost everything in the sourcebook can be used for Rifts. I leave that decision to other GMs.
For the purposes of Rifts, while many of these items could be considered as being local to Rifts Earth, like the SDC Armor, Powder Weapons, Chainguns, and the BBLs, some items would fall outside of ability of local manufacturers to make, like some of the higher end armors and helmets, carousel guns, and some of the lasers. As such, their sources should be considered as being extradimensional, much like Naruni Enterprises. Of course with these extradimensional manufacturers, like Bear Armor Corporation (Mist, Kodiak, Bear, Cub, and Grizzly Armors), Arkatron Industries (All Carousel Guns), Marrson Optics (Luxxman, Falcon, and Range Hound), Balshrom Science Corporation (Spectrum, Flashlight, Gamma 4, Lancer, and OC-66), and Able Corporation (Force, OC-1, and Able Ram), their principle interest is in selling their wares, not in taking over the planet. Considering their source then, most of these items would be considered as anything from Rare and Very Rare for the higher end weaponry and armor, to just Hard to Find for the helmets and some of the armors. Many of these items have been specially modified to work under the conditions found on Rifts Earth, and may not be compatible with other versions that can be found elsewhere in the multiverse.

Armor Systems

Body Armor

SDC Armor

Name	Protection	Armor Rating	Weight	Cost (credits)
AKM Body Suit	20 SDC	AR: 12	22 lbs.	450
Cruiser	50 SDC	AR: 10	5 lbs.	1,500
Combat 1	30 SDC	AR: 12	18 lbs.	1,800
Street 1	10 SDC	AR: 10	12 lbs.	3,000
Street 2	40 SDC	AR: 11	15 lbs.	9,000
Cub	70 SDC	AR: 12	25 lbs.	2,500
AKMB	40 SDC	AR: 14	8 lbs.	1,400

Street 3	60 SDC	AR: 14	20 lbs.	15,000
Combat 2	180 SDC	AR: 14	15 lbs.	12,000
Streetwise	100 SDC	AR: 15	15 lbs.	30,000
Combat 3	200 SDC	AR: 17	18 lbs.	100,000

Notes: These suits are made for city fighting and light SDC combat. As such, they only have a -10% Penalty for Prowling.

• The Street armors are clothing manufactured to be bulletproof. They can be detected with metal detectors or anyone with any type of armor assessment skill. The Streetwise armor is the best of the Street armors, being undetectable unless inspected by someone with either the Armorer (-15%) or Find Contraband (-20%) skills.
• The Flex Suit is a very flexible suit of armor (no penalties to prowl); however, it takes double damage from energy attacks.

MDC Armor

Name	Protection	Weight	Cost (credits)
Reflection Suit	25 MDC	9 lbs.	100,000
Guisarme JumpSuit	40 MDC	9 lbs.	200,000
Infiltrator	80 MDC	20 lbs.	250,000
Protecon	80 MDC	20 lbs.	65,000
Bear	130 MDC	25 lbs.	220,000
Opticon	70 MDC	15 lbs.	150,000
D2	80 MDC	16 lbs.	200,000
Kodiak	150 MDC	25 lbs.	500,000
Spy Master	100 MDC	24 lbs.	650,000

Notes: These suits are made for heavy fighting, and don't have as much flexibility as lighter weight armors. They have a -25% penalty to Prowl.

• The Reflection Suit is an anti-beam weapon suit. All beam weapons do half damage, with any damage less than 9 being completely deflected. It cannot be counteracted, however the suit can be easily seen at great distances with attackers getting a +3 to hit at all ranges.
• The Guisarme Suit uses a sophisticated system of hydraulic pumps and servos to propel the suit at speeds approaching 63mph. However, there is a cumulative +2% for every point of damage that the armor takes that it will shutdown and leave the wearer stiff as a board.
• The Infiltrator Suit can change shape and form to appear as any type of armor or loose fitting clothing. It increases all Disguise and Infiltration checks by 60%; however, inspection by anyone with either Armorer or Find Contraband will be able to detect any differences between the Infiltrator and what it is imitating (-20%). Because of its flexibility, the Prowl penalty is only -5%.
• The Protecon Suit is immune to corrosive attacks and takes half damage from all kinetic weapons (armor piercing missiles, railguns, bullets, etc).
• The Opticon is a heavier version of the Reflection Suit. The only difference is that any beam weapon damage less than 8 is deflected.
• The Spymaster comes with a Chameleon unit (as per spell), sonic dampener (75% can't be heard), tow line, and skalers (wall-climbing suction cups). Tow line is 70 feet long and can stick into walls (does 3D6 SDC to flesh). Because of its flexibility, the Prowl penalty is only -5%.

Heavy MDC Armor

Name	Protection	Encumbrance	Weight	Cost (credits)
CD2 Commando	120 MDC	20 lbs.	40 lbs.	925,000
Hansen	200 MDC	20 lbs.	40 lbs.	1,500,000
Gladiator	240 MDC	20 lbs.	40 lbs.	2,000,000
MX4	120 MDC	17 lbs.	34 lbs.	1,450,000
Dragoon	200 MDC	25 lbs.	80 lbs.	2,000,000
Mist	150 MDC	13 lbs.	26 lbs.	2,000,000
Repulsor	80 MDC	18 lbs.	36 lbs.	1,500,000
CD-7	160 MDC	10 lbs.	20 lbs.	3,500,000
Grizzly	500 MDC	30 lbs.	60 lbs.	4,500,000
Tri-mesh	180 MDC	16 lbs.	32 lbs.	2,900,000

Notes: These are truly heavy suits. They use servos and light power amplification to decrease the weight of the armor on the wearer, hence the actual weight and the encumbrance weight (the weight they feel). They also take half damage from lasers and kinetic attacks (Rail Guns, AP Rounds, etc). They have built in batteries which can power the suits for up to 4 days of active use. They are fully self contained and environmentally sealed.

• The CD2 Commando has 2 mini-missiles mounted on each arm, a smoke generator (2 charges), and mechanized speed like the Guisarme (40 mph). Chance of Failure: 2% cumulative per 4 MD of damage.
• The Hansen has a back mounted anti-missile system. When a missile approaches within 300 feet, a mini-missile is launched to engage it automatically (no pilot actions used) at +10 to hit. Carries 12 mini-missiles. They cannot be used for offensive attacks.
• Gladiator armor is specially designed for large beings (over 7 feet tall) and can't be used by normal or smaller sized beings. It also carries 4 mini-missiles on each arm.
• The Dragoon mounts the Digiton missile rack on its back. Carries 15 Short-Range missiles. The rack has 45 MDC, and if hit, the exploding missile damage is channeled away from the suit, doing no damage.
• The Mist uses a special system of heat sensitive sensors to detect incoming plasma or flame attacks. It then releases liquid nitrogen-2 in a spray from tiny ports which cover the armor. The mist cools the flame within micro-seconds of impact. The result: flame and plasma attacks do only 1/4 damage. The suit holds enough nitrogen for 50 uses.
• The CD-7 is a more heavily armored version of the CD2 armor with lighter weight materials.

Mechanized Battle Armor

Name	Protection	Encumbrance	Weight	Cost (credits)
Power Mesh	400 MDC	6 lbs.	240 lbs.	1 Million
Assault	300 MDC	5 lbs.	200 lbs.	1 Million
Heavy Assault	500 MDC	4 lbs.	260 lbs.	2.0 Million
MBA	700 MDC	2 lbs.	460 lbs.	4.0 Million
Argus	350 MDC	4 lbs.	200 lbs.	6.0 Million

Notes: MBAs are fully powered battle armor. They have all the features of Power Armor. Speed and Strength is the pilot's times 2. Except for the MBA, none have built in weapons; however, they can carry or have installed weapon systems up to the carry weight of the pilot times 2.

• The MBA, or Mechanized Battle Armor, can carry either the equivalent weapon systems of the NG-X9 Samson (Super Rail Gun, Rocket Launchers, Vibro Knuckle Blades [3D6 MD]) or up to 100K credits worth of weapons systems.
• The Argus includes the Guisarme's propulsion system, which propels the suit up to 63 mph (chance of failure: 1% cumulative per 10 MD of damage). However, the pilot has the option as to whether or not they want to use it. If the pilot decides not to use it, then the speed is 4 times the pilot's speed. Effects of failure while active is that of the Guisarme (total movement lockup); however, if not active when it fails, there is no effect other than the system refusing to operate.

Ultra-Armors or Humpty Dumpties
I'm not even going to consider listing the stats for these monstrosities. Imagine a suit of armor 16-35 feet tall, has massive amounts of armor, and carries two main weapon systems. If you consider that a Heavy Point (HP) of armor is the equivalent of 1000 MDC, then the average Humpty has between 4000 and 35000 MDC of armor. They weigh between 2500 and 9000 tons, and move between 50 mph and 116 mph. The main weapon systems can do between 2000 MD and 60000 MD of damage, depending on the system. They also carry several secondary systems. Then to top it off, they carry force shields that can absorb anywhere between 2000 MDC and 40000 MDC. These death machines would totally dominate any Rifts battlefield they appeared on and would be totally unstoppable except by another Ultra-Armor. Do I need to say more?
 

Helmets

The majority of the helmets listed are not MDC capable, and are only good for stopping SDC rounds. The following helmets are those I consider to be MDC capable. They are environmentally contained, with up to 2 hours of air.

Skull	140 MDC	25 Miles	100 lbs.	300,000
Cranium Monster	200 MDC	125 Miles	100 lbs.	500,000

Notes:

• The Deshard S helmet offers complete protection from all forms of sonic attacks include the sonic boom from the Glitter Boy Boom Gun.
• The Shalkon MS, Jousen 3, Deshard X helmets all offer protection from mental attacks at +3 (Shalkon), +5 (Jousen), and +6 (Deshard).
• The Goliath, Defender, and Skull helmets offer sonic protection and +4 bonuses versus mental attacks.
• The TDA and TDA-2 helmets provide ranging and lead angle data for targets at +1 to hit for TDA and +2 to hit for TDA-2.
• The Functions and Functions+ are essentially S-1s and S-2s with bonuses versus mental attacks. +3 for Functions, and +5 for Functions+.
• The Multi-Optics Helmet 3 (MOH 3) and the Cranium Monster provide +4 versus mental attacks, multi-optics capability, and +2 to hit.

Weapon Systems

Powder Weapons
While the list in the Rifts book is nice, I also like the list included in this book. If you want the full list, buy the book. I'm only going to list those weapons I feel would be MD rated or are of special note. Also as an additional note, if the Rate of Fire (RoF) is listed as more than one, then that is how many rounds are fired at the target per pull of the trigger. If the Rate of Fire is more than 3, then the shot is considered a burst and the strike is rolled as a burst. If the RoF is 3 or less, then the strike can be rolled as an aimed shot. Damage listed is for the entire burst.

Pistols

Name	Damage	Range	Ammo	RoF	Weight	Cost (credits)
Night Stalker	1D4 MD	460 ft	10	2	4 lbs.	2,400
Hammer Fist	1D4 MD	460 ft	40	8	8 lbs.	6,000
.454 Casull	1D4-1 MD	1050 ft	5	1	8 lbs.	10,000
Century Model 500	2D4-2 MD	460 ft	5	1	10 lbs.	13,500

Notes:

• Night Stalker fires .50 caliber rounds in either single shot or semi-auto. Has a side mounted box feed for ammo. Each gun is custom made with the owner's name engraved on the ivory stock.
• Hammer Fist fires .45 caliber rounds in a short burst.
• The Casull requires a 17 strength to fire an Aimed shot properly. -2 if fired without both hands.
• Century Model 500 requires a 19 strength to fire an Aimed shot properly. -3 if fired without both hands. Uses .50-70 ammo.

Rifles

Name	Damage	Range	Ammo	RoF	Weight	Cost (credits)
.700 Nitro Express	3D6 MD	980 ft	2	1	28 lbs.	30,000

The Nitro Express is a rifle disguised as a shotgun. You need at least a 20 strength to fire this rifle with no penalties (-5 otherwise). It is not possible to fire this weapon double-barrel. A natural, critical hit of 18 or above can knock down a man-sized target, even if it is airborne. A successful Dodge or Roll with damage negates this. Effect of knock down, target loses 1 attack. Ammo costs 200cr for 5 rounds.

Sniper Rifles

Name	Damage	Range	Ammo	RoF	Weight	Cost
Barrett 92	2D6 MD	4000 ft	14+1	1	20 lbs.	25,000

The Barrett uses a special version of the .50 caliber ammunition round, with 14 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the breach. It has no recoil due to its advanced muzzle brake and tripod system, which gives the Barrett an additional +2 to hit. The Barrett is designed for Aimed shots, however it can be picked up and fired from the hip, as if the user were firing Wild.

Note: The Barrett uses a longer version of the .50 caliber round, which is not compatible with .50 caliber machineguns. Attempting to use Barrett ammo in a .50 machinegun will cause the gun to jam each time it is used.

Shotguns

Name	Damage	Range	Ammo	RoF	Weight	Cost (credits)
RoadBlocker	1D6x10 SDC	390 ft	12	1	26 lbs.	7,000
Masral Smuggler	1D6x10 SDC	500 ft	5	1	10 lbs.	8,000
HS Series D	1D6x10 SDC	295 ft	15	5	12 lbs.	15,000
H&K Bulwark	1D6x10 SDC	130 ft	12	4	20 lbs.	15,000

With the exception of the RoadBlocker, all of the shotguns are made from plastics and ceramics. The HS Series D and the H&K Bulwark only fire in short bursts and follow the standard rules for firing short bursts.
The standard 10g slug rounds do SDC damage, however, they can be traded out for High-Explosive MD rounds. Made out of the same explosive material fusion blocks are made from, these HE MD rounds do 1D4 MD, and cost 2000 credits for a box of 10. The standard 10g rounds cost 200 credits for a box of 10.

Carousel Guns
 
Imagine a weapon that fires the same rounds as a railgun, does about the same damage, but is the size and weight of an automatic rifle. If you can, then you have a Carousel Gun. While a railgun uses magnetic acceleration along a long narrow muzzle to accelerate the slugs, a Carousel Gun accelerates the slugs into a circular orbit around a electro-magnetic core. The longer the slug is in the acceleration chamber, the faster it accelerates.
It takes 2 actions to fire a carousel gun. The first activates the weapon and puts the slug into the chamber, the second actually fires the weapon. A minimum of 6 seconds is needed to accelerate the slug to firing speed (1/2 melee round). However, the user may decide to leave the slug in for longer than 6 seconds to gain more speed. The max range will increase by 330 feet for each additional second the slug stays in the chamber, up to 6 seconds for 1970 feet. The damage also increases for +1 for each additional second, up to 6 seconds.
What this means is that the gun can be activated to fire at the beginning of the attack round, but won't fire until the middle of the round (6 seconds later). If the person holds the slug in the chamber for 6 seconds to get more range and damage, then the slug isn't actually fired until the end of the round. If a person holds the slug for less than 6 additional seconds, then they can use the remainder of the round for some other form of attack. No matter what, a carousel gun can only be fired twice a round for normal shots, or once a round for extended range and damage shots.
Carousel Guns have one additional penalty. A person firing a carousel gun cannot move while a round is being accelerated. The only exception to this is if the gun is vehicle or robot mounted, or the individual has a strength greater than 18. This is due to fact that once the slug starts accelerating, the person is being affected by a limited gravity field that holds the person in place unless they can overcome the effects of the gravity field. Anybody with less than 18 strength is stuck in place and cannot dodge or roll, or do anything else physical. Also, because the gun can generally only be fired two-handed, the person can't parry as well. Beings with strengths between 18 and 25 can move, but only at half speed, with half their normal bonuses to dodge, parry, or roll with damage. Beings with strength 25 and above can move as normal.
Besides the standard railgun slug, Carousel Guns can use different types of slugs with different effects. Each slug type comes in a box of 100 rounds.

• Standard Round: The standard railgun slug. Cost: 100cr per box.
• Silver Rounds: These silver railgun slugs do 2 less damage before the x5 multiplier against normal targets, but has all the effects of silver weapons on creatures affected by silver. Cost: 500cr per box.
• Depleted Uranium Core: This a standard slug shell with a depleted uranium core. Upon impact, the shell flattens and the core rips through even the heaviest of armors. Damage rolls are increased by +5 before the x5 modifier. It is an armor piercing round. Cost: 1500cr per box.
• Incendiary: This is a slug shell filled with white phosphorus. Because it is lighter than a standard round it does 1 less damage before the x5 multiplier, but it does an additional 1D4 MD damage for 1D4 rounds. It also ignites combustible materials upon impact. Cost: 700cr per box.
• Explosive: This is a slug shell filled with explosives. Because it is lighter than a standard round it does 1 less damage before the x5 multiplier, but there is an 80% chance the round will explode for an additional 2D6 MD. Cost: 1000cr per box.

Carousel Guns

Crusher	3D6x5 MD	902 ft	60	1	24 lbs.	175,000
Cyclone	2D4x5 MD	1800 ft	30	2	17 lbs.	195,000

Meteor	2D4x5 MD	1480 ft	30	3	19 lbs.	320,000

Besides the slugs carried in them, Carousel Guns also require power to fire. This power can be provided by a standard e-clip. A standard e-clip will provide enough power to fire a number of slugs equal to 1/2 the number of slugs a gun can carry. So while a Crusher can fire 30 times before requiring a new e-clip, a Meteor can only fire 5 times before needing a new clip (15 fires / 3 slugs per fire). Since Carousel Guns store the e-clips in an internal compartment, they cannot use long e-clips or e-canisters; however, they can be fitted to use the new E-Packs. An E-Pack will provide enough power to fire a number of slugs equal to 3 times the number of slugs the gun can fire.

Chainguns
Chainguns are an archaic vehicle mounted weapon system that uses old-fashion bullets to inflict damage. These electric motor powered weapon systems fire short bursts that cover a 30 degree arc in front of the weapon. While it is technically possible for an infantry person to carry a chaingun into battle, the ammo packs for these weapons weigh almost as much as the weapons themselves. An ammo pack carries 500 rounds, and weighs either 150lbs for 20mm rounds or 190lbs for 30mm rounds. Vehicle mounted chainguns use a 2000 round drum that weighs 700lbs for 20mm or 800lbs for 30mm. Ammo packs cost 3500 credits for 20mm rounds and 5250 credits for 30mm rounds. Ammo drums cost 11,000 credits for 20mm rounds and 16,000 credits for 30mm rounds. Besides being used for anti-personnel purposes, chainguns can also be used as anti-missile systems if mounted with a special radar tracking unit. Damage for chainguns is by burst, not for individual rounds. Rate of Fire only refers to how many rounds a burst fires.

Chainguns

Allox 20mm	5D6MD	4920 ft	500	20	220 lbs.	255,000

BC-Blister 20mm	6D6MD	3280 ft	500	30	160 lbs.	480,000

All chainguns can be mounted on a special radar-tracking mount. This fully automatic system tracks incoming missiles and opens fire on them from 660 feet out. This gives the system time to fire up to 4 bursts at an incoming missile volley. Damage is applied to one missile at a time, with washover damage going to the next missile in the volley. While the system is usually left on automatic fire mode, it can be taken over manually to fire at infantry or vehicles.
Note: Missiles fired from under 65 feet cannot be seen by the radar system, and will not be fired on automatically. The guns have to be manually fired to hit missiles fired at under 65 feet.
The Allox, Vixer, and BC-Blister have a +2 to hit incoming missiles on the automatic system. The 30mm Chainsaw Lightning is +4 to hit incoming missiles on the automatic system. The anti-missile radar tracking mount costs 100,000 credits for the radar system, the automatic tracker, and the labor to attach it to a vehicle.

Beam Weapons
Needless to say, I consider all of the lasers in LNL to be MDC weapons except for the Bargain Basement Lasers, which are SDC weapons. For the full list buy the book, I'll just be listing weapons of note.

Bargain Basement Lasers
These are cheap, easily manufactured lasers that do SDC damage. You are probably wondering what's the use in having SDC lasers, but they can definitely come in handy when you are in cities that specifically ban the use of MDC weaponry. It also doesn't hurt that they are made completely out of plastic, ceramics, and crystals. Something that comes in handy when you are trying to sneak these past most door scanners and metal detectors. They can also be effectively used in hunting. All BBLs have internal power packs and do not use e-clips.

Standard Lasers
While all are considered to be MDC weapons, the ones listed here are special is some way or another.

Laser Pistols

Tenteclex 4	2D6	400 ft	20	1	4 lbs.	20,000
Savage	4D4	1800 ft	30	3	8 lbs.	55,000

• The Mirchaum is a one shot laser, barely smaller than the average human's hand. Made out of plastic, the Mirchaum is easily concealed. It can even be taken for a toy, up until it is fired at you.
• The BS-2 is a basic laser pistol that fires two shots per pull of the trigger. The pistol has to be recharged, it does not use an e-clip.
• The Pocket Killer is a more powerful version of the Mirchaum, just slightly bigger. The PK, as it is known, is rechargeable (200 credits).
• The Tenteclex lasers are designed to be used by entities that do not have hands, only tentacles. Each Tenteclex is adjusted for use by an individual, and is calibrated for that individual's tentacles. It is even specially camouflaged so that there is no visible difference between the tentacle and the pistol. Tenteclex 1 and 3 pistols do not use e-clips and must be recharged by a special charging jack. The Tenteclex 4 pistol does use e-clips for power, and is capable of using a long e-clip for 40 shots.
• The Savage is a rapid fire pistol used by many police and guard agencies. It is powered by a normal e-clip.

With the exception of the Falcon, Gamma, and Balshrom, all weapons listed here use a long e-clip and an e-canister for power. The three listed weapons use the new E-Pack to provide power for firing.

• The PK-91 and the Fundamentalist are both automatic laser shotguns. A target is hit by either 1D6 or 2D4 laser beams that do the stated damage.
• The Arrow is favored by many would-be assassins. It has a tripod mounted for aimed shots.
• The Shalkon is the only solar powered laser available. It uses solar ducts (3 MDC, -3 to hit) to store energy. The ducts can store 4 shots an hour in sunny weather, 2 in partial overcast, and 1 in heavy overcast.
• The Falcon is a high speed machine gun laser that fires 5 beams per shot.
• The Gamma 4 has three different power settings that use 1, 2, and 4 charges per shot.

Impact Lasers are heavy laser rifles specially designed to blast through heavy armor. Impact Lasers are designed to do full damage to laser resistant armor, plus they are considered as armor piercing when it comes to damage type. As such, they do full damage to all types of armor, even those that would normally be immune to laser or energy weapons. With the exception of the Laseras, Lancer, Crusader, Excellcior, and Force, all Impact Lasers are powered by a combination of an E-Canister and a Long E-Clip. The five listed weapons use an E-Pack to provide power for firing.

• The Angler can actually fire around corners thanks to a voice activated, thruster controlled rocket that lifts a mirror/targeting assembly into firing position. The operator views the target through a camera mounted on the assembly. When the weapon is fired, the beam is reflected at the target by the computer system.
• The Laseras comes with a built-in, forward facing energy shield. It has 25 MDC and recharges 5 MDC per minute.
• The Shock Therapy is a wide mouth impact laser, with a beam diameter of almost 20cm. It comes with a built-in, forward facing energy shield. The shield has 50 MDC and recharges 5 MDC per minute.
• The Able Culprit comes with a built in tripod assembly. They are hand crafted to order and take 4-6 weeks to be delivered.
• The Persuader comes with an energy shield that is the same as the Shock Therapy's.
• The Force is an experimental Impact Laser that has been known to malfunction (15% chance). In the case of malfunction, the problem is usually caused by the optic system shorting out, which results in the damage yield being halved. The Force comes with a voice activated energy shield. It completely protects the user for 100 MDC with a recharge rate of 10 MDC per minute.

Omega Cannons

The Omega Principle allows for the manipulation of an electron's position around an atom at any given instant, and predicts the creation of an instantaneous barrier by manipulating the electrons together at one moment. While this is the scientific principle behind the creation of energy shields, it is also the principle behind Omega Cannons. Omega Cannons create a force field, then controlling it through a magnetic flux bottle, fire it through the cannon. The result is massive concussion damage to a target. It does not affect the armor protection as the concussion pulse is translated straight through to the interior of the target in the form of a powerful shock wave. The pulse also disrupts exposed electronic circuitry, much like an EMP burst. Targets wearing body armor suffer the listed damage as SDC and hitpoint damage. The external armor takes no damage other than the built-in electronics shutting down. The shutdown period lasts for a time period equal, in rounds, to half the damage done to the wearer. For targets with a reinforced pilot compartment, like robots, power armor, and vehicles, the compartment takes the damage first. After the compartment has been destroyed, any personnel inside have a 40% chance of being hit with the shock wave for SDC and hitpoint damage. MDC creatures take regular MD damage from Omega Cannons.
Omega Cannons are also capable of knocking out energy shields, doing maximum damage per hit. This effect is only against energy shields created by technological means. Magical and Psionic shields take damage as normal.

Because of their weight, all Omega Cannon are mounted directly to the user by a body harness. Omega cannons are notoriously inaccurate, even in the short ranges they are effective. As such they suffer a -4 penalty to hit. Omega Cannon are powered by E-Packs.

• The Balshrom FC has fixed some of the accuracy problems (with a -3 to hit) with an improved targeting system.
• The Able 3 has better accuracy than most Omega Cannon at -2 to hit.
• The LS-21, Cobra, and Python all use a thought activated firing sequence activated through a special headband worn by the user. This provides the wielder a +2 to their initiative.
• The OC-66 is the only plastic/ceramic composite Omega Cannon on the market.
• The Devastator uses a cybernetic implant to control the firing and targeting sequence. As such, the penalty to hit is completely negated, and the wielder has a +4 to their initiative. The cost of implant surgery is included in the cost of the cannon.

Miscellaneous Merchandise

E-Packs
E-Packs are a brand new power source designed by the Black Market for use in certain heavy weaponry. E-Packs provide the massive amount of power needed by these heavy weapons, in an easy to carry backpack that can be strapped on overtop of body armor. Power is provided to the weapon by an armored power attachment (10 MDC, -5 to hit) that connects to a port identical to that for a regular e-clip. However, despite its using the same power attachment as a regular e-clip, it cannot be used to replace a regular e-clip or a long e-clip unless the weapon has been designed to use an e-pack. Any attempted use of a weapon with an e-pack that has not been designed to use an e-pack, will result in the weapon exploding (85% chance of this occurring) for damage equal to twice its damage dice (4D6x2 for a C-12, 6D6x2 for a TX-30, etc.). Even if the weapon does not explode, it will be permanently burned out. E-Packs are armored for use on the battlefield, but if the armor is depleted, it will explode for 1D6x10 MD to a 10 foot area. Besides providing the energy needed to fire the heavy weaponry, E-Packs also have pouches, slots and attachments for carrying other items. The pouches can carry up to 3 cubic feet of material and the slots and attachments can carry up to 2 lbs. of materials.

Name	Armor	Weight	Recharge Time	Cost (purchase)	Cost (recharge)
E-Packs	40 MDC	12 lbs.	2 hours	250,000	8,000

Besides the weapons listed above, several regular rifles can be modified to use E-Packs for power. The weapons listed are the only currently available weapons that can be modified to use an e-pack. Because of issues of power conversion, size limitations, and compatibility, weapons that carry e-canisters, front-side e-clips (all Triax weapons), pistols, and light energy weapons (any under 10 lbs.) cannot be modified to use e-packs. The only exception is the C-10 since it is an assault rifle, and made tougher than most other weapons. An e-pack provides power equal to 8x that of a regular e-clip. The cost of conversion is roughly 20% of purchase price of the weapon. The current weapons list is as follows:

Name	Payload	Conversion Cost
C-10 Light Assault	160 blasts	3,200
C-14 Fire Breather	160 blasts	6,000
CV-212 Variable Laser	168 blasts	10,000
WR-19 Plasma Ejector	80 blasts	5,600
NG-L5 Laser Rifle	80 blasts	3,200
NG-P7 Particle Beam	64 blasts	4,400
