# About This Book

*The Modern Armory, Firearms, Explosives, and Ammunition for Exodus NDS, 1939 to Today. Source: https://exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/modern-armory/about*

Eighty-three weapons in twelve families, from a .22 pocket pistol to a shoulder-fired missile: everything one person can carry and use, and nothing that needs a crew. Twenty-five ammunition loads, so that one gun covers several jobs. Fifteen attachments. Twenty-eight weapon qualities, all but one already part of Exodus NDS, with every one that the core rules do not define given here in full.

**The cartridge sets the damage. The gun decides what it costs you to carry it.** A .22, a 9mm, and a .50 are different weapons, and the large ones need Might. A pistol that passes a search holds two shots or fires a small bullet. This book is built around making those trades visible on the stat line.

*This book stands alone.* It is the third armory, after **The Fantasy Armory** and **The Ranged Armory**, and it requires neither. The only book you need beside this one is the Exodus NDS core rules.

**Body armour is out of scope.** So are crew-served weapons: mortars, tripod-mounted machine guns, and anything bolted to a vehicle. Knives, clubs, and bows are in the two earlier books; Chapter 15 says which entry to use for which modern weapon.
