GUNS
They say that Eskimos have a hundred words for "snow". That may or may not be true, but Runners have far more than a hundred words for guns. Whether its a Gallo Roaring Lion, a Fuchi-karawa Pulson Pistol, a  Zabijak Smrticia Ruka SSB, or some other specimen of a gunsmith's deadly art there is one thing for sure; guns are everywhere in the MetaCyber setting and most reasonable people have at least one in their possession.
GUN PRICES
In the MetaCyber campaign the cost of guns is determined via a simple formula as determined by the adjoining calculator.
WEAPON CREDIT COST
Active Points:
Real Cost:
Select Availability:
Credit Cost:*
Simply enter the total Active Points, Real Cost, and Availability level of the Weapon in the appropriate fields and the credit cost will be calculated automatically.
In addition to the cost of a weapon, a character needs sufficient access to acquire a weapon for their Resource Pools. *NOTE: These are ballpark figures; a large variety of circumstances will dictate the exact costs involved, but on average the prices will hover in a range of around +/-10% of the amount indicated by the above calculator.
Also note that the GM is always free to assign whatever cost they want to any item.
BASIC GUNLIST
As explained in the Dark Champions Supplement document and the Gadgets & Gear Supplement document, the weapon lists from Dark Champions, further extended by some more sci-fi oriented weapons from Gadgets & Gear, are used for the bulk of the weapons in a MetaCyber campaign.
A simple Manufacturer name change is all that is necessary to transplant the weapons.
To do so, simply find the manufacturer of a weapon in Dark Champions in the adjoining drop down list and the MetaCyber equivalent will be displayed.
FIREARM MANUFACTURER EQUIVALENCY
Select Real World Manufacturer:
MetaCyber Manufacturer
For those that don't have Dark Champions, while it is highly recommended that it be acquired for use with a MetaCyber campaign, the same gun lists are reprinted in the HERO System Equipment Guide.
MANUFACTURERS
This adjoining chart gives a manufacturer equivalency from real world to the MetaCyber setting for major brands. Simply proxy the MetaCyber company for the one given in the weapons charts starting on page 242 of Dark Champions. For added style a GM might also want to modify any obvious monikers.
AMMUNITION
An important feature of using the Dark Champions Weapons section is the extensive work that has been done for a broad variety of special ammunitions. However, it can be a bit of a pain to parse the ammo charts and apply them to various firearms. It is recommended that a GM or players using exotic forms of ammunition, which are used extensively in the MetaCyber setting, take the time to figure out how the ammo effects the cost of a weapon ahead of time to prevent the game slowing down whenever the subject comes up.
In particular Caseless, Flachette, and Penetrating Frangible ammo are popular among Runners
GADGETS & GEAR WEAPONS
The following list reprises the weapons from Gadgets & Gear that are assumed to be in play.
GADGET & GEAR WEAPONS

Designation
Simply pick the Gadget & Gear Weapon you want from the list; the MetaCyber designation and manufacturer of that weapon will be displayed.
METACYBER GUNS
The following list contains new weapons specific to the MetaCyber campaign; one or two per major manufacturer. These weapons represent archetypical weapons that their manufacturers are known for; Corelli excels at pistols, Zabijak make fantastic SMG's, Fuchi-karawa make "smart" gear, Gallo makes a lot of alternative tech guns, J&S focuses on solid and dependable firearms, and Norn-Tek makes a lot of military / high damage weapons.
FUCHI-KARAWA
Fuchi-karawa Viper Auto Tracker Pistol (5e)
Gear Lvl 0
Street, 12,400 creds
A popular gun among less skilled marksmen; the Viper's integral brainjack uplink assists aiming. People with any amount of actual skill generally sneer at those who need the assist, and people using them are the butt of many jokes.

Fuchi-Karawa Rattler Machine Pistol (5e)
Gear Lvl 1

A utilitarian, well built machine pistol with a respectable clip, good rate of fire, and low failure rate. However, it does kick a bit, isn't particularly accurate, and isn't suitable for more spindly shooters.
Fuchi-Karawa Rattler Machine Pistol: Killing Attack - Ranged 2d6 (vs. PD), 33 Charges (+1/4), Autofire (3 shots; +1/4) (45 Active Points); OAF (-1), STR Min 14 Cannot Add Damage (-1), Beam (-1/4), Real Weapon (-1/4)

Fuchi-karawa Silver Asp Automatic Pistol (5e)
Gear Lvl 0
Street, 3,700 creds
This sleek, lightweight, and compact pistol uses strip-jacketed frangible rounds allowing it to hit harder than its petite size would suggest. It's popular with those who don't want a bulky weapon, and those concerned with looks. Some manly men consider it to be a "girly" weapon.

CORELLI
Corelli Barracuda VA29 Variable Automatic Pistol (5e)
Gear Lvl 2
Military, 37,800 creds
This flexible pistol is very popular and has many proponents. Featuring both a single shot and three round burst mode, it packs a punch and is accurate. A silencer is also available and widely used by special ops types. Burst mode is not usable while the silencer is attached; it takes a Full phase action to attach or detach the silencer.

Corelli Mako Heavy Pistol (5e)
Gear Lvl 1
Enforcement, 12,600 creds
A heavy, solid pistol with distinctive angled and squared off aesthetics and a cowled rotary hammer / cocker mechanism. Some believe it to be the best heavy pistol in modern production. It packs a very serious punch and can penetrate unreinforced armor with ease. The design of the weapon is friendly to customization, and many independent gunsmiths turn out both cosmetically retooled and upgraded versions at a premium.
Corelli Mako Heavy Pistol: Killing Attack - Ranged 3d6-1 (vs. PD), AP (+1/2) (60 Active Points); STR Min 18+ Cannot Add Damage (-1 1/2), OAF (-1), Beam (-1/4), Real Weapon (-1/4), 12 Charges (-1/4)

GALLO
Gallo Avenging Eagle LRL5 Laser Sniper Rifle (5e)
Gear Lvl 3
Advanced Military, 183,690 creds
Sporting the most powerful weaponized laser currently available in a rifle form-factor, this expensive instrument of death is notable in that it has an integrated powerpack. When the trigger is pulled there is no kick and very little noise, but there is a slight delay to charge the laser making the weapon difficult to use. However it's almost certainly lethal, especially with a head or vitals shot though the visible laser is less than stealthy.
Gallo Avenging Eagle: Killing Attack - Ranged 6d6 (vs. ED), Increased Maximum Range (3,375"; +1/4), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (157 Active Points); STR Minimum 10 (STR Min.

Gallo Sparhawk Caseless Autopistol (5e)
Gear Lvl 0
Street, 4,550 creds
This cheap and lightweight weapon uses a stack of 7 caseless rounds held together by a zippered plastic frame in a top-loading clipless arrangement. As each round is fired the next round is pulled down and the emptied end of the frame exits from the bottom of the barrel. The barrel action does not move, there are no shells, and the kick is minimal (and straight back) which helps accuracy significantly. However the weapon has a major fail rate after 100 rounds or so.
  1. Good Range: +2 vs Range Modifier with Sparhawk Caseless Autopistol
  2. Accurate: +2 with Sparhawk Caseless Autopistol
  3. Gallo Sparhawk Caseless Autopistol: Killing Attack - Ranged 2d6 (vs. PD) (30 Active Points); OAF (-1), STR Minimum 5 (STR Min. Cannot Add/Subtract Damage; -3/4), 7 Charges (-1/2), Beam (-1/4), Real Weapon (-1/4) [7]
