Hi, I need some help making sure this thing is kosher.
     What I need are help from all of you to make sure it's components are "balanced". Is the price too high/low, the availability/legality or any other suggestions you might have. Since there are no creation rules for guns I will be basing this weapon on items in the books. I’ll note the one that I use at the top of the entry. Just the base stats will be used, not the accessories, and prices will be based off the base item, Unless the prices are just ridiculous then I will use my judgment. Here ya go.

     Yes. It's supposed to sound like a sales brochure.
I'm making up weapons to present to my GM. He decided that my stock portfolio has gained me a good sized interest in a small arms factory. So I'm preparing designs for them. I'll be posting the others soon and would like help there also. thank you all for your time.
     Also, none of this art is mine. I found it on the net and modified it when necessary, probably poorly, and is not meant for infringement.


The Shadow X (Heavy Pistol)
(Based on the Cavalier deputy from Arsenal pg. 23.)


Standard Upgrades/Accessories:  SmartLink, Ceramic components (3), Revolver Silencer

Damage        AP      Mode          RC            Ammo       Avail               Cost
   5P              -1           SA              -                7(CY)         16F                1500Y

The Shadow X is the Ultimate in Infiltration specialist’s sidearms.  Covert operatives or under cover officers will both benefit from the power they can sneak into even the most secure meeting with the Shadow X.
     Made completely from ballistic ceramics and polyresin this gun is invisible to M.A.D scanners. Additionally we offer hermetically sealed Vac-load rounds* to by pass any chem-sniffer sensors you might encounter. And when the time comes to use the Shadow X its integral silencer will negate 95% of any sound it makes, helping you evade detection and capture.
     The break action reload system makes reloading simple and fast. Especially with the speed loaders we offer, which come preloaded with our patented Vac-load shells.

(Sealed rounds double the cost of any ammo purchased for this gun. And come Prepackaged in a speed loader, +25Y for the loader. This gun may not have any additional internal modifications.)

That pistol is from the Contact RPG, a German RPG about aliens invading a future cyberpunk dystopia.

Nah, it's good for the revolver nuts out there.  A statement of "Standard Modifications" would be a good idea, like what you see in Arsenal and Gun Haven Heaven.

That would be the line right above the damage stat block...
Did it not come thru?

With its availability and the information given for it, why not just use the Urban Fighter? It pretty much does the same thing.

Holy crap...... I even looked at that one's fluff blurb for the sealed ammo thing. I never realized I just made that same gun....... Well with all the accessories all integrated it is cheaper than the Urban with the silencer.
Sigh. I 'll need to go over this one again then and see if I can change something. Thank you for spotting that.
