Gunsmithing
So last post I... err built firearms for Classic Traveller -reinventing the wheel so to speak. There's more... never fear.
Generally speaking, bullets do 3D of damage and have no penetration modifier by themselves. This is modified by the frame of the weapon. Medium longarms are also called assault rifles. Heavy longarms are battle rifles (or shotguns).
A shot shell modifies the range and penetration modifiers as follows:
|
C |
S |
M |
L |
V.L. |
Shot Shell Mods |
0 |
0 |
+3 |
-5 |
No |
Shot shells have Penetration -1 and do one additional die of damage. A shotgun would look like this
Large Shotgun: 0/0/+3/-5/No/4D/Slug/Shot Shells, Pen -1

The snub pistol is truly atrocious at anything beyond spitting distance. We chalk it up to the ammo in part.
