HEY SMARTGUNNER!!!

tired of your run of the mill SMARTGUN?
Try something new!

Smartgun 1.1
cheapest smartgun on the market, tn-1 only
version 1.3
current version TN-2
version 2.0
latest military software, TN-3, not debugged so carefull
(can crash under extended use, cause headaches, nausea etc in
user, rumours of nervous damage)

TRICKSHOT aiming software
this speeds the hand/eye co-ordination needed for hitting small
targets/small areas of targets.
(Aimed shot gets -1tn,so only +3)

SHOOT TO KILL
can be taken as premeditated murder in some courts.
The guns database is loaded with vital target areas on common
targets (ie peaple). The aim/kill is instinctive, giving +1
wound level on all shots (even on auto) The TN+4 modifier for
the aimed shot is only +3 with this software.

NON LETHAL ALTERNATIVE
Whenever the gun causes a deadly wound, it withholds D6/2 of
the firers successes, making the wound non-lethal.(hopefully)
Used by Some HIRE-cops and security


IN HEAD SMARTWARE.
can't carry the smartgun? pads give you away?
The INHEAD system uses the target/aquisition software and weapon
familiarisation programs from a smartgun, and loads it into a
dedicated Memory cache in head.
Using the gun makes your software 'Learn' the gun, to the point
where the skill is intuitive, and smartgun levels are possible.
Takes at least 1 hour and 5 full mags (more for auto's)
Rating 1 (TN-1) ess .2 cost 25,000
rating 2 (TN-2) ess .3 cost 50,000

ONLY GET THE TN MODIFIER FOR GUNS YOU'VE LEARNED

CHOPPER
the hard and the soft, thats the way
