Message: <blockquote data-quote="kronos182" data-source="post: 6985120" data-attributes="member: 6668634">Bolt PistolThe Bolt Pistol is the sidearm of the Space Marines, favoured by assault units used alongside melee weapons, or by officers. These weapons use the exact same ammunition as the bolt gun, and are essentially just smaller versions of the regular bolt guns. These weapons are well crafted, and sometimes found amongst non Space Marine units in elite units and as signs of status and power. The magazine is in front of the trigger guard, making them front heavy, but for the Space Marines this is not an issue due to their enhanced strength and larger size. The bolt pistol can use the sickle or straight box magazines, just like the bolt gun, making switching ammunition between the weapons quick and easy.Bolt Pistol (PL6 Personal Firearms Proficiency)Damage: 2d12+4 + 2d6Critical: 20Damage Type: balllistic +fireRange Increment: 60 ftRate of Fire: SSize: MediumWeight: 9 lbAmmo: 30 boxPurchase DC: 25 Mil (+3)Notes: Masterworked, +1 attack roll, Digital Ammo Counter, DNA Lock, Weapon Link, armour piercing (+1 attack against targets with armour, or natural armour +1 or greater. Against targets without armour suffers -1 damage).Medium sized creatures attempting to use the Bolt Pistol suffer a -1 to attack rolls due to the weapon being sized for the larger hands of the Space Marines. Anyone without exceptional strength, or a cybernetic arm, with strength rated at least 18, suffers -2 on any attacks after the first attack in a round, and suffers half the damage rolled in subdual damage on any attack made with the Bolt Pistol. So a normal person, with Strength 18 will suffer half damage in subdual damage each time he fires the weapon, and his second attack suffers -2 to attack roll. While a person with a cybernetic limb of Strength 18, doesn't suffer the subdual damage or the attack penalty to his second attack due to the shock absorbers and gyros in the arm to keep it steady. Ammunition: Box of 50 .75 Bolts rounds has a PDC 12.DNA Lock - A sensor in the handle reads the DNA of the user, if it does not match the assigned user, the weapon locks and will not fire. Changing the assigned user requires the user, or authorized mechanic, a Computer Use check DC 20 and the new assigned person. An attempt to forcibly change the assigned user, or disable the device requires a Computer Use check DC 27.Weapon Link - The weapon links to the HUD and Black Carapace of the Space marine, allowing the marine to 'sense' the weapon, know how many rounds are left, know if the barrel is too hot, if there is a jam and where, and use any attached scopes or other equipment without looking at it, useful for looking around corners. Using scopes without looking through the scope only provides half bonuses.</blockquote>
