There are no hard and fast rules for it. SURE, the skill for it is out
there, but how do you handle it? Then theres getting the parts, getting
a real cannon to make sure that the one you are making is compatible with
others... (or you'd have to make your own ammo too!)... there is a lot of
question involved... but I can see it as something that can work...
(Hmmm... perhaps FASA would come out with rules for making your own
cybertoys and guns? I wouldn't count on it though...)
