The Modern Armory · Chapter 17

Attachments and Modifications

Suppressor

The weapon gains Suppressed. Loaded with subsonic ammunition it counts as Silent.

The weapon's Concealable rating drops by 1 and its Encumbrance rises by 1. Fitting or removing it is a maneuver.

Telescopic Sight

After an aim maneuver, remove 1 Bane Die from an attack at Long or Extreme range.

Add 1 Bane Die to attacks at Engaged and Short range.

Reflex Sight

Ignore the Bane Die for making a ranged attack at Engaged range.

Laser Sight

Add 1 Boon Die to attacks at Short range.

The target sees the dot. An attack made with the laser on gains no benefit from surprise.

Weapon Light

Ignore Bane Dice from darkness at Engaged and Short range.

While it is on, the carrier's position is known to everyone in sight.

Night Sight

Ignore Bane Dice from darkness at any range.

Encumbrance rises by 1. Early models need an infrared lamp that other night sights can see.

Bipod

Deploying or folding it is a maneuver. While it is deployed, the weapon's Cumbersome rating is 2 lower.

The wielder cannot move and fire in the same turn while it is deployed.

Sling

Readying the slung weapon is free once per turn. It cannot be taken from the wielder by a disarm unless the attacker spends a Breakthrough.

Extended Magazine

The GM needs 1 more Bane than usual to run the weapon dry: 4, or 3 after Auto-Fire.

The weapon's Concealable rating drops by 1.

Speedloader

Reloading the revolver is free once per scene for each loader carried.

Folding Stock

With the stock folded the weapon rates Concealable 1 and gains Inaccurate 1. Unfolding it is a maneuver.

Under-Barrel Launcher

The weapon mounts a Single-Shot Grenade Launcher (Chapter 11). Switching between the rifle and the launcher is free.

Encumbrance rises by 2 and the rifle gains or increases Cumbersome by 1.

Concealment Holster

Shoulder, ankle, inside-the-waistband, and similar rigs. The weapon's Concealable rating rises by 1, to a maximum of 3.

Drawing from an ankle rig or other deep concealment is an action, not a maneuver.

Sawing Off

A hacksaw and twenty minutes. A Double-Barrel Shotgun becomes the Sawed-Off Shotgun of Chapter 7. A Pump Shotgun gains Concealable 1 and Inaccurate 1 and its Encumbrance drops by 1.

It is permanent, and the result is illegal almost everywhere.

Accurising

Hand fitting by a gunsmith who does nothing else. The weapon gains Superior: 1 automatic Boon on every check made with it.

The price is five times the price of the weapon. It counts as two attachments.
