"So there I was, back in my days with 'Raku, facing four members of the famed
BloodyGrizlyGuts Go-Gang. But I wasn't worried. I Quick Drew my two Ingram
Smartguns with Integral MTC/Thomas SmartLink smartgun link and as I saw the
twin crosshairs come up in my Timex/Zeist PolyChrome Cybervision I
kicked in my Fuchi/Chroma Encephalon-2 and had a split view - one from each
gun. Now, these weren't just Ingram Smartguns. They were Ingram Smartguns
with Ares Improved MaxiVent Gas Vent-3's and Ares NeverMove Gyro-2's. I
rattled off a quick 3 round burst into each guard, and because of my gear I
suffered no penalties - which means that I slipped away from four very *quiet*
corpses..."

I must say that I quite enjoyed your advertisement here. One thing
caught my eye though. The "Ares NeverMove Gyro-2's." Unless they put in a
new type of recoil comp for weapons in SR2, Gyro mounts are harness worn
weapon accessories. BUT, this little advertisement gives my brainards an
idea: small individual gyro stabilizers mounted on the gun instead of gyro
harnesses that the guns mount onto. They would only have a rating in the
area of 1-4 and would add even more weight, size, and noise to a gun, but
you could get even more recoil comp on a gun then before.
General Ideas:
Mount: Under
Concealment Modifier == -2
Effect: -1 per level to recoil
Weight: .5 per level (Can get kinda heavy, eh?)
Cost: 300Y per level
Special rules: Takes 1 action to activate (get gyro to speed)
Makes some noise (T# 6+ to detect in quiet)
Can be combined w/ all other forms of recoil comp
What do you guys think?
PS: I want to thank those of you kind enough to reply to my test message.
I kinda feel real dumb sending a whole mess of messages that were to go
the list but instead went to Barnhart's account (Which has been down for
how long?). I have been current with the list since shortly after it was
created. I just haven't been sending it to the right place. Now you know
why I feel retarded from time to time... Hey, I'm a Street Sam and an
engineer, not a decker!
