Well, I have done some clarifying to the stuff below.

Fire when ready, Grizzly.

Generic Armor Piercing (GAP) - a Predecessor to APDS

These rounds made from neo-composites, i.e. Teflon-Mesh, and Kelvora
7, are very affective against conventional armors. The successor to
these rounds is the APDS (tm) Ammunition that has recently become so
very popular. Unlike APDS, GAP rounds can not penetrate the heavier
armors as well. APDS which uses a patented kinetic transfering
warhead, is still affected by the heavy armors, but not as much as the
GAP.
Effect: -2 to Ballistic

Armor Piercing Fletchette (APF)

These rounds are made in the fashion of GAP rounds but are sculpted to
tear and split the flesh like needles, not like bullets. The low
weight and high number of projectiles incorporated in these rounds
makes these rounds deadly to even heavily armored targets. The general
configuration of a standard APF round is 12 needle shaped projectiles
in a ring formation around a four central,larger projectiles. The
projectiles are shaped to spin without a barrel grouve. Thus less
dispersion over long ranges. These rounds are NOT for Shotguns.
Effect: +1 to Wound Level, Highest Rating of Ballistic OR Impact Armor
is used, not 2x Impact as with normal Fletchette.

Uranium Depleted (UD)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just a proposal from Quiktek and CrossFire. What do ya think.
Effect: +2 to Power, -2 to Ballistic, -1 to power for each range
category beyond the first, -25% to maximum range. An additional +2 to
power for knockdown determination.

Diamond Tipped (Dikote (tm)) (DTR)

These rare rounds are needle sharp projectiles that are designed in a
tapering cone form for use in some standard firearms. The projectile
is made of Telfon-Mesh, the point is filed to razor sharpness and the
whole projectile is coated with Dikote. After heat tempering and UV
treating, the projectile is packed in a specially designed casing. The
casing is packed with a special propellant mix that hearls the
projectile at speeds of twice to even three times that of conventional
high-powered sniping rifles. The only drawbacks are that the round
DOES have a metal case, and because of this the gun must be specially
modified.
Effect: Armor is ignored, -2 to Power.

Not all rounds are made for every caliber, check with your local GM
for availability and such.
