Mini-Cannon: To-hit 7, $1,000, 170 lbs, 1 space, 3 DP, 10 shots, 1D6 damage, burst effect. CPS $20, WPS 3. Loaded cost $1,200, loaded weight 200 lbs.
    The Mini-Cannon is a 15 mm rifle designed to give the capabilities of burst effect and armor removal without having to resort to the extra expense and weight of explosive ammunition for a MG. HEAT and APFSDS rounds are available. However, due to the weapon's small bore size, no HESH ammo is available for it.


MUNITIONS

High-Velocity Ammunition (HIVELOC): 2x CPS, WPS: normal. For LMGs, MGs, HMGs, LVMGs, VMGs, HVMGs, ACs, MACs, VCs, SHACs, and all types of tank guns.
    High-velocity ammunition does 1.5x damage to all armor types. It will not remove metal armor DP, regardless of how many 6's are rolled.

Tungsten Shot: CPS 5, WPS 1. For vehicular shotguns only.
    This ammunition is loaded with superhard shot made of tungsten alloy instead of lead. A vehicular shotgun loaded with this ammunition does 3 hits of damage to the target. Tungsten shot may be mixed with any other type of VSG ammunition. It may be used in a regular shotgun.

Slug Loads: CPS 10, WPS 1. For vehicular shotguns only.
    A VSG with Slug loads does 1d6-2 damage to the target (full to vehicles). Slug loads do 1D6 to pedestrians, and may be mixed with any other type of VGS ammo. They may be used in a regular shotgun.

Grease Ammunition: 1.5x CPS, normal weight. For OGs and all types of rockets & rocket launchers.
    Grease ammunition has the same effects as paint and a duration of 5 turns. No-paint windows don't work against it. Additionally, any laser (except x-ray) whose optics are coated by the grease will not work for 3 turns.

Flame-Cloud Ammunition: CPS 150, WPS 7.5. For OGs only.
    This type of ammunition produces a 1" x 1" counter that works just like a regular flame cloud.

Foam Ammunition: CPS 5, WPS 5. For OGs only.
    Foam Ammunition produces a 1" x 1" counter that lasts for 60 seconds or until it is used to put out a fire. It will extinguish flaming oil on a D6 roll of 1-5 (HT flaming oil will be put out on a roll of 1-4). Vehicular fires will be extinguished on a 1-5 if the vehicle is hit directly (1-3 if the vehicle drives through the cloud of foam). The 1" x 1" foam counter is as slippery as oil, so any vehicle driving through it has a +D2 to any maneuver or hazard taken on it.


ACCESSORIES

Fog Nitrous Oxide: $1,000, 25 lbs, 1/3 space, 1 DP.
    Opening one of these tanks is a firing action. Using FNO raises acceleration by 15 mph and top speed by 65%. The effects last for 3 turns. A weapon timer may be used to trigger multiple tanks in succession.

Reinforced Camper: +$1,000 to base cost, +250 lbs to base weight.
    A reinforced camper may use a 4-space turret or cupola. It has 16 body spaces and 6 cargo space due to the space taken up by its reinforced structure.

Extended-Cab Pickup (XCPO): +$200 body cost, +100 lbs to body weight.
    This modification may be made to pickups and campers. It takes 2 spaces from the cargo area and adds them to the body (allowing a bigger engine or more weapons to be carried). Armor cost and maximum load are not affected.
