Kido Guns:
Every member of the Gotei West is given a Kido gun of a type of their choice. Over time, this becomes their 'sidearm', and is modified and tweaked to suit their purposes. Often, west members modify their own weapons, or have a technician modify it for them.
Each gun is ranked based on the following:
Power (rank)
D Rank: Lowest needed to fire the kido
C Rank: 10th seat
B Rank: 4th seat
A Rank: Lieutenant level
S Rank: Captain or Kido corps leiutenant level
X rank: Captain of the kido Corps level
Capacity (kido max): This is the highest kido allowed
D Rank: up to 10
C Rank: up to 30
B Rank: Up to 40
A Rank: Up to 60
S Rank: Up to 90
X rank: Any Kido
Precision: How well in line does the kido stay within the accuracy. Remember, unlike real guns, the range is based on the kido bullet, not the gun itself. In addition, this doesnt mean YOU are accurate out to the accuracy. Only that the gun is CAPABLE of firing say, a byakurai bolt, to where its pointed at, within this range before it starts to go off target.
D Rank: Shaky gun, imprecise, especially with consecutive shots.
C Rank: Accurate within 10 meters
B Rank: Accurate within 50 Meters
A Rank: Accurate within 100 meters
S Rank: Accurate within 300 meters

D Rank: One shot/3 seconds
C Rank: one shot per 2 seconds
B Rank: One shot/second
A Rank: 2 shots/s
S Rank: 5 shots/s
X rank: Miniguns. Flee (up to 10 shots a second max, before kido just starts smashing into itself and bad shit goes down.
Magazine Capacity: How many 'rounds' can you hold? (this is an approximate, not an exact per rank)
D Rank: 1-4 rounds
C Rank: 6-10 rounds
B Rank: 10-15 rounds
A Rank: 15-20 rounds
S Rank: 20-30 rounds
X rank: Belt fed. (kido magazines larger than 30 rounds are too large for normal use, even for weaker rounds)

D Rank: 5-4 seconds
C Rank: 4-3 seconds
B Rank: 3-2 seconds
A Rank: 2-1 second
S Rank: 1 second
X rank: Under 1 second.(.57s max)
There are six main types of weapons. Pistol, shotgun, submachine gun, rifle, machine gun, magnum/high calibur pistol. When you get your first gun, it is of the lowest quality in this. As you get used to it, and modify it, these can rank up in certain areas.
How to read the types: Read the description, then look at the stats. Stats are presented as [x/y] with x being the starting, y being the maximum. Note: No X stats are mentioned here. These are generally unique weapons, and cost a tremndous amount to make.
Types:
Pistol: magnums to handguns, these are precise, short range, firearms. They tend to have small clips, and vary in their damage depending on how fast they fire, and that clip size. These are easily modified, and are very versitile, due to their size. This is the perfered fiream for most people, due to their small size, allowing the wielder to use their katana as well.
