Lose the "R" and make them TOWs. Highly more feasible. Make firers maintain a very narrow LOS (30 degrees?) or lose tracking. If tracking lost for 2 turns, shot misses.

I've always hated lasers. Current tech' for a laser which could do ANY damage in an instant requires 'fuel' (chemical) that would fill a standard shipping container for one shot.

But we have magical Star Wars (sucks) lasers, which scag' wasteland gangs seem to have laying around everywhere in perfect working condition inside their McLaren supercars. I dunno. SWs sucks.

White-phosphorous mortar/CGL rounds. Blanket an area and do a WIDE range of damage, from annoying paint-job scars to burn a hole through the roof which continues on through anything in the way and exits the floorboards?

Would also block lasers and screw up RGMs. So there's that. And you could add a very small percentage chance they cook off in the tube? ...just to keep the evil contained somewhat...like, the more rounds you fire without taking a break, the higher the chance gets but really never goes away totally?

Then we'd have videos of FEs getting roasted by internal willie-pete explosions. I'd pay a dollar to see that.

They don't do anything to RGMs. Chaff launchers would be cool

Here's a suggestion! Just a literal car bomb! something you can throw on a vehicle that you obviously don't care about, and then have some ped you don't like detonate it manually from within the vehicle! then the explosion happens and everyone has a great time :) except for that ped, but they knew what they were getting themselves into when they joined ;P

(idk how you'd go about acquiring this. Would be really fun running away from AI with this thing XP)

Flechette and Shotgun weapons should be expanded.

Cars getting up close, colliding, and dog-fighting is so core to the setting genre's tropes.

This would expand the 'Ramcar' strategy type (as opposed to line fighting, or trailing) with some more viable equipment that won't accidentally roast their target too much.

As well as being generally useful to any scout that is hunting for prizes. I love running a "can opener" and "spoon" muscle duo, 1 muscle with gats to open up the armor, 1 muscle with VS or Flechetes to spoon out the crew.


Vehicular Auto-Shotgun [VAS] - Rare
    -Shotgun, but gatling.

Vehicular Heavy-Shotgun [VHS] - Rare
    -Shotgun, but Large.

Vehicular Bunderbluss [VBB] - Very Rare
    - Mid step between current VS and Flechette Gun.

Blackpenny Car Rifle [BCR] - Super Rare
    - normal direct fire range (the car rifle of flechette)
    - flechette-like damage profile

Vehicular Lance [VL] - Common
    - A pointier hitbox for a Ram

Car Grenade-Spear - [CGS] - Very Rare
    - A mix between better for bulk 1shot rockets and a ram, acts like VL above after being fired.


Also throwing some Ped Weapons on here because related to can-opener/spoon and that ped thread be dead...

Combat Shotgun [CS] - Rare
    - Its a shotgun, that doesnt blow... 8 shots, higher power.

Deployable Mortar [DM] - Very Rare
      - Peds with Bali... the POWER (gotta make expensive and bulky)

Toy Tank Gun [TTG] - Super Rare
      - bulky direct fire 'hand cannon'

Belt-fed Auto-Shotgun [BAS] - Super Rare
    - 4 Blk, 2blk reload, 20shots, higher power.

(no idea if this was already suggested)
How about a grapple gun?
Lets say it has 3 shots, and is unable to be reloaded mid-fight
Takes up 50-75 bulk
If it hits theres a sort of pulling effect between you and the target for x amount of turns (explained later)
Every couple turns the grapple is "attached to the vehicle" it does 1 damage until armor on the said it attached to is 0'd out, or is "pulled out" by a ganger not manning a gun (excluding driver)
Is decently inaccurate (due to weight)
The "pulling grapple out of vehicle" mechanic is based on the ganger's strength and dexterity
The less armor there is (compared to original amount) the easier it is to pull the grapple out.
Multiple (max of 3) gangers can attempt to get it out.

how about a ramp shaped ram that you can catch air off of. If it hits you in the side, you got a good chance to turtle.

I'm waiting for the Medium Gatling Gun & the Medium Car Rifle, since I love the Medium Machine Gun so much.

what about a combination of the 2, high accuracy, penetration, 30 bulk recoilless rifle, that has a chance to cause rapidfire without RS spec (reduced damage from car rifle to offset the rapidfire and bulk additions)
