I was looking through my copy of the Compendium of Modern Firearms to see
if I could find some example of nasty guns.

Here's a fun one:

30mm ASP

ROF: 400 rpm
Effect: Blast and Fragmentation
Area of Effect: 5m radius, penetrate 7cm+ steel
Min Range: 150 m
Max Range: 4000m

It is about the size of an .50 cal MG, weighs 41kg empty and uses a
belt-feed system or an 80rd drum.

--------------------------------

90mm M67 Recoilless Rifle

ROF: Single Shot (breech loaded)
Effect: Heavy Steel Penetration, Secondary Blast and Fragmentation
Area of Effect: Penetrates 20cm+steel, 10m blast radius
Min Range: 20m
Max Range: 2100m

Shoulder held. Weighs 15kg empth, ~20 loaded.

----------------------------

Hows that for a pair of nasties. The book also has a capter on sniper
rifles, and many list an assessment of ~15cm @ 500m and acceptable ranges
of between 1200m and 2000m
