One of my players has taken a shine to playing trolls and has found himself frequently in the role of door-opener. We were joking about him needing a battering ram, and it hit me that I've never seen one statted up for any version of Shadowrun. (It's entirely possible I've missed it somewhere along the way.)
In any case, here's my first take at one.
"Master Key" Dynamic Entry Tool
When you absolutely, positively need that door open RIGHT NOW, put this into the hands of your burliest teammate and stand clear. Fashioned with slip-resistant foam grips, the handles swing on heavy-duty bearings, permitting the maximum force to be transmitted through the reinforced column to the impact head, resulting in a quick entry.
Exotic Melee Weapon (Battering Ram), Accuracy 7, DV STR+4, AP -4. When used versus Barriers, double the damage value. When used against a door, rather than creating a 1-meter hole in the barrier by doing damage equal to the structure rating, the battering ram forces the door open. When used against other types of barriers, normal rules apply. While not intended as a melee weapon, the Battering Ram may be used as one (use the Exotic Melee Weapon skill).
