Alrighty, I've bee thinking about this for a few days now and thought I'd post it for feedback and advice on how to mechanically define it... In short it is what I've posted up there. I'll write a blurb as if it were in a book below, but some stuff isn't defined (like damage code) because I'm not too sure where to go with it. So without further ado:
The underbarrel shotgun attachment for pistols gives police and security forces increased versatility while decreasing the need for larger weapon systems, something critical in an urban warfare environment. The system runs off of a pistol's powered rail system and requires a smart-gun system on the pistol in order to operate. The weapon looks like an oblong rectangle, a little larger in both length and width than a 12 guage shotgun shell. To load the weapon, insert the round directly into the barrel until it clicks into place. To unload the weapon either use the smartgun system to eject the round or remove the weapon from the powered slide mount and press down on the round until a click is felt and the round is released. Users are strongly discouraged from using the manual method while the weapon is attached to the powered slide mount. To fire the weapon, simply use the smartgun system to fire the weapon. An electrical signal will then ignite the round's propellant. As the weapon features no ejection port for used shell casings, the weapon only accepts caseless ammunition. Unfortunately, since the barrel of the weapon is of inconsequential length, the weapon has ranges comparable to those of hold-out pistol, limiting it's usefulness to tight quarters and urban combat.
That's that I suppose....in short:
Requires:
- Smartgun equipped pistol
- Powered Rail System equipped pistol
- Caseless ammo
Range:
- Same as hold-out pistol
