I was sitting around brainstorming some ideas for a hightech weapons
facility and thumbing through a few non-shadowrun RPG books for ideas.
Then something hit me. Under the rules for the vehical laser in FoF
there is NO mention of what it uses for a power source. I kinda want
some ideas for this because I want to put one on a vehical Im designing.

Also Im doing a writeup of a corp that has lots of rather advanced
weaponry including prototype man packed railguns, masers, and tesla
rifles.

As far as the railguns go I dont really need any help sence I have those
pretty much planned out. But Im acctualy a littel stumpd as to how to
work the maser and the lighting gun. As for the maser Im thinking of
something with the range and spread of a shotgun the frys cyberware and
electronics but doesnt do much damage to stuff with armor etc. As for
the tesla gun...well Im thingin second edition lighting bolt spell
coupled with ares mp laser stats for power usage. the only thing is the
range is gonna be hard to work out...after all it will depend on
atmospheric conditions...any ideas folks?

Also could someone privately e-mail me the stats for the railgun
mentioned in the Aztlazn sourcebook and a general description of it
9like is it MP or vehical mounted ammo cost etc) I can return that favor
as I have a few out of print kinda hard to find books. Anyway just
thought I woukld throw this one to the list.
