Ammo

This ammo is in reality, a static discharge tracer that is coated in ruby in the same manner as dikote. When fired the round temporally electrifies the ruby and produces laser radiation. The laser automatically penetrates armor. The rounds have the following damage codes.

These rounds channel their direction of travel upon striking bone. They have a tendency to ride bones around the body and come out at crazy angles. Increase the damage level by one per one success as opposed to every two successes.

Hyper Velocity (HV) ammo is a unique form of ammunition that can transform

a regular gun into a hand-held assault cannon. No one know where HV ammo is

made. Although it will occasionally turn up in the hands of elite strike

teams and the best shadowrunners, it is usually impossible to find. HV ammo

is made made of composite ceramics that are several times harder then

steel. The bullets have a razor sharp tip and are hard enough to punch

through hardened armor like butter. Although each round of hypervelocity

ammo is an engineering masterpiece, the most mysterious part of an HV

bullet it it's propellant. Instead of standard gunpowder, an HV bullet has

a small charge in back that is made up of a rock-solid explosive incased in

a plastic shell. When the bullet is fired the charge detonates and sends

the ceramic bullet shooting out of the gun at incredible speeds. The

effects of an HV bullet impact are spectacular. A single bullet can punch

through military body armor, crack the engine block of a car, or leave fist

sized craters in concrete walls. HV bullets are only available as heavy

Although no one knows where HV ammo comes from, no one who tries to find

out ever lives long. Anyone who attempts to trace where HV ammo comes from

is usually found shot dead; usually from a HV bullet. Obtaining HV ammo is

usually an adventure in it's self. The runners will usually never meet the

Fixer, and will often be asked to perform several shadowruns for the fixer

When HV ammo is fired it will increase the power for the weapon by 4, and

turn hardened armor into regular armor. Unfortunately, the explosive charge

that propels a HV bullet is extremely damaging to the inside of a gun.

Every time a HV bullet is fired role a D6 and add the number of HV bullets

that have ever been fired from the gun to the result. If the result equals 12 or

ammo, a fixer will usually ask for a large amount of money before trying

to track a clip down for a runner. Note that a separate test must be made

Thermite ammo is made of an aluminum case with a small magnesium capsule in

front of a large thermite (a powder that burns at extremely high

temperatures) charge in the back. The magnesium is incased in a thin shell

made of plastic, powered aluminum, and water. When the ammo hits it's

target the plastic shell is crushed, mixing the powered aluminum and water.

This causes the magnesium to ignite, which in turn ignites the thermite.

The thermite burns at extremely high temperatures, hot enough to melt

through armor and cause sever burns. When a target is hit by the thermite

ammo they must resist 8L per turn for each bullet that hits. There is also

a thermite shotgun round, which does 8M. Combat pool cannot be used to

resist the damage. Every 2 points of impact armor (round down) will buy the

target 1 turn before the thermite reaches their body. The thermite will

burn for D6 turns. It tends to destroy armor, and is very useful for

For example: Samurai Bob is hit by a three round burst of thermite ammo. He

must now role a D6 for each bullet. He roles a 2, 4, and 6. The first

bullet will burn for 2 turns, the second for 4 turns, and the last bullet

for 6 turns. Bob has an armor jacket, which has 3 points of impact armor.

It give him 1 turn before the thermite melts through his jacket. Bob tries

to get his jacket off, but is not fast enough. One the second turn he must

resist 8L damage 3 times. On the third turn the first bullet will burn out,

so he only resists 8L twice. By the fifth turn the second bullet will have

burnt out, so Bob only resists 8L once. On turn seven all the thermite will

Unfortunately, thermite ammo is not entirely stable. Use the rules for

explosive ammo to determine what happens when thermite is subjected to

extreme heat, shock, ect. Shotgun rounds are especially sensitive. If

thermite shotgun rounds are fired in a three round burst role a D6. On a

role of 6 the gun will misfire. If the shotgun rounds are fired on full

auto the gun will misfire on a role of 5 or 6. If thermite bullets misfire

they will all detonate, fusing the gun into a useless chunk of metal. The

person holding the gun must make a reaction test with a target number of 6

or take automatic burns to his hands. The burns make holding anything

extremely painful, and add + 4 to all target numbers involving griping

Example: After his burns heal. samurai Bob decides to get himself some

thermite ammo. He decides to buy it in shotgun form. While Bob is walking

down the street, he gets jumped by a ganger. Bob fires a shotgun round at

him. Bob hits and roles a 4 to see how long it will burn. Because the

ganger does not have any armor, he takes damage immediately. The ganger

Later that day, Bob is attacked by a Lonestar officer. Bob fires a three

round burst of thermite shells at the officer with his trusty Ares Combat

Shotgun. He hits, and roles a 5 for all three shells (lucky Bob). The cop

has 2 points of impact armor, so he has one turn before the thermite will

burn through. The officer will have to resist 8M three times every turn for

the next 4 turns. Bob roles a 6 on the D6. All the thermite in his shotgun

detonates. The Lonestar officer calls for a trauma team, and Bob drops his

shotgun as it turns red hot. His wired reflexes don't help him, and he

fails his test to drop the gun in time. Bob watches his shotgun melt into a

pile of slag, then goes off to buy some more thermite shells and get his

Cost: 2,000Ą per clip of 10, or 4000Ą per box of 10 shells

Tracker bullets are high-tech tracking devices that are fitted inside a

stainless steel shell so they can be fired from a heavy pistol. The bullet

will stick to anything from glass to skin. They are often used to track

cars or aircraft, but will also bury themselves in body armor. Some

corporate security guards will fire a tracker bullet into a runner's body

armor or getaway vehicle. This allows them to track the runner's location

from a helicopter, or follow them to retaliate against their Mr. Johnson.

Because tracking ammo travels at a much lower velocity and is much lighter

then a regular bullet, it can be blown off course by heavy winds or rain.

Apply a +2 target number modifier in these situations. Tracker bullets

cause 6L stun damage. If found, they can be easily removed.

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

Basically this looks like a bullet but is really just a bullet shaped shell

filled with explosives. When someone tries to shoot a DeathFire bullet it

will destroy the inside of the gun, making it impossible to use. If

DeathFire ammo is used in an automatic weapon like an assault rifle or

sub-machine gun the results are spectacular. If someone tries to fire a

three-round burst or more the gun will disintegrate in their hands and

probably take off a few fingers (it costs 7,500Ą to have a new finger
