Subject: Shadowgear Catalog 2051
Hey guys! Here's a LONG list of Shadowrun items I've gathered from
hard to find places in soucebooks, adventures, etc., combined with some
non-cyber versions of usually cyber-only items, and a bunch of "You know, It'd
be really nice to have..." stuff. Most of this gear has been playtested, but
I STRONGLY recommend each group have a "trial run" to decide if an item is OK
to use or not. If one of these things upsets game balance, don't be afraid as
a GM to take it out. You may also wish to alter some items to make them fit
into your campaign better. Above all- enjoy this stuff!

Shadow Gear Catalog
Winter 2050/2051
(vers. 1.5)
Part 1- Weapons and accessories.
*The Uzi 3S.
The new Uzi 3S has all the same features as the standard Uzi 3, but
boasts an internal sound suppressor.
Concealability: 5 Ammunition: 24(c) Mode: SA/B Damage: 6M
Weight: 2.5 Availability: 10/36 hrs Cost: 900Y Index: 2
*Silencers/Sound Suppressors
A full line of noise dampening devices:
*The Slimline silencer
Smaller than your average silencer, the Slimline provides an
equal amount of silencing power without adding much to your gun's profile.
*The Mini
Smaller than the slimline, this silencer doesn't dampen the
sound much, but doesn't compromise your gun's concealability.
*Improved Silencer/Sound Suppressor
No larger than your average silencer/sound suppressor, these
devices are quieter.
*Shhhh 7000 Sound Suppressor
Extra quiet for those extra sensitive runs.
All silencers and sound supressors are available in 100% macroplast
versions at double cost.

*Bio-Injector
Dr. What from Harlequin had one and now you can too. A wrist mounted
device that inserts a laminated monofilament injector spike with a sensor
guided tip into a target in melee. Does 5L stun damage. If counterattack/combat
pool dice modified by 1/2 impact armor (because the injector spike is so smart,
strong, flexible and thin) do not prevent damage, the target is also injected
with a dose of drug. Holds 4 doses- can be same or different drugs.

*Needle Ammo
1.5mm explosive ammunition, needle rounds use impact armor. Any weapon
can be converted (at 10% of base cost) to use needle rounds. The weapon then
uses its normal damage code. However, needle rounds will not penetrate impact
armor of 3 or greater as the rigid plating in these types of armor stops them.
Needle rounds are useless against vehicles, except to scratch the paint.

unstable and will fully oxidize in 3 minutes. Speed is instantaneous.
*Agonadine-delta
Dr. What's favorite killing drug! As soon as the dose is injected,
the drug causes nerve pain (body 8 test to resist) adding +4 to the victim's
target #'s. At the end of the turn when the poison was injected, the target
must attempt to resist the poison. If it inflicts a deadly result, the pain
increases to extreme levels. The victim falls, screaming uncontrollably, and
dies in 10 minutes if not treated successfully. If the poison does less than
deadly damage, the pain diminishes to dull irritation. Injection only. 40Y/dose.

The Ultrasound Detector listens for the high frequency sounds emitted
by an ultrasound sight, emits a warning beep and triggers the distorter. The
distorter sends out the same frequency sound as the sight, interfering with
the sight. The sight is practically useless when the distorter is in effect.

dice equal to the system's rating against a target number of six at the first
exposure to the gas, and again at every additional second of exposure, adding
-1 to the target number for every additional second of exposure. However, some
gases are easier to detect than others. For example, the Neuro-Stun series is
particularly difficult to detect, and the detection system receives no modifiers
to detect these gases. Characters wearing, or in the proximity of, a gas
detector may make a Surprise Test to take appropriate action if they have a
delayed action available (or act on that combat phase) and are receiving their
initial exposure to the gas in the combat phase in which the gas detector
sounds the alarm.
