Smart Weapons

Smart Systems:

(I found this as I was scouring the Wayback Machine for Stargrunt material.)

Smart systems integrated into squad support weapons are rare on the modern infantry battlefield. Although few armies use smart weapons routinely, there is growing evidence that smart weapons are much more effective than their predecessor 'dumb' SAWs.

Smart systems may be of any quality: Basic (D8); Enhanced (D10) or Superior (D12).

Targeting With A Smart Weapon:

Smart weapons may fire both in support of squad fire and as separate actions. Smart weapons fire over the same range as small arms fire. For example, a regular marine could fire a smart weapon 40 inches, while a green soldier could only manage 30 inches. This range is not modified by cover.

Note that a smart weapon can be used as EITHER a smart weapon OR a dumb weapon.. The player announces before the weapon is fired which mode he is using for targeting. If firing as a 'dumb' weapon use FP and Quality as normal.

A smart weapon mounted on a tripod can be used as a sentry gun, which is constantly on Overwatch. Note that the weapon is still limited to firing only once per activation.

For purposes of taking fire, a mounted smart weapon has an Armor Value of 2; inflicting a MINOR result disables the weapon, while a MAJOR result destroys it.
