Shadowrun - Holstering a weapon

[ffanxii4ever]

Right, this probably seems like a bit of a stupid question, but here goes:

In Shadowrun 4th edition, what kind of action is it to holster a weapon? Just a simple action like drawing a weapon is? And I assume you can't "quick holster" if it is?

I ask because I am building a character with both ranged and melee combat in mind, with the firearms being used for long-range combat or when closing with the enemy, and then switching to melee weapons when the situation calls for it such as when I enter melee combat, or one of my fellow runners closes in and I don't want to risk hitting them.

I don't think the rules specify, but I agree I would call it simple with no "quick holster" option if the need came up in a game.

Well, as long as you use a weapon you actually can holster and not too big a melee weapon, you can simply keep both in your two hands.

Otherwise, yeah, simple action sounds right. No quick holstering for sure.

Single/simple Action to Holster or Free Action if you have quick draw. Free Action to drop for a New York Reload!
