@Gabrieljusti

“Lead spitter” Machine gun(Heavy steamjack only)

Cost: 550

Type: ranged

Location: head

Ammo: 30

Effective range: 36’(6")

Maximum range: 180’

Attack modifier: -1

POW: 8

AoE:-

Description: this light open bolt mahine gun was made to be attached to a steamjacks head, where its mouth should be if were it a non distorted living being, it uses a weaker and more expensive than normal light rounds, that are caseless so there was no need for an extraction port.

Special rules: This weapon can only be fired once per round. However, when the weapon is fired, the steamjack can use Burst Fire. When the steamjack uses Burst Fire, it makes d3 attacks but expends six rounds of ammunition. These attacks must target a primary target and any number of secondary targets within 2˝ of the primary target. Ignore intervening characters when declaring secondary targets. A secondary target cannot be targeted by more attacks than the primary target.

Reloading the “Lead spitter” Machine gun outside of combat takes five minutes and can be accomplished by any character with the Mechanikal Engineering skill without a die roll.

The “Lead spitter” Machine gun fires light infantry rounds. It costs 4 gc for blasting powder, and bullets for five light rounds.

Mounting a “Lead spitter” Machine gun on a steamjack requires the proper tools, two hours of labor, and a successful INT + Mechanikal Engineering roll against a target number of 14. If the roll fails, it can be repeated after another hour of labor.

Paying to have a “Lead spitter” Machine gun outside of combat takes five minutes and can be accomplished by any character with the Mechanikal Engineering skill without a die roll.
