Critical:  On a critical hit, the target is knocked prone.Special:  Shotguns do +2 damage if fired at 2 squares or closer.  At long range, they only deliver half damage.  Sniper:  These weapons contain advanced targeting systems for long-range fire.  Power (Daily):  Free action.  If you hit, add +5 to attack for the purposes of Marksman Talent.Special:  Sniper weapons list two bonuses for proficiency.  You only receive the full proficiency bonus if you use a move action to aim.  The full proficiency bonus ends if you move or are moved.  The effect does not expire otherwise.  Self Propelled Projectile (SPP):  SPP weapons are small rockets fired from pistols or rifles that continue to accelerate after an initial air compression push fires them from the shell.  Although more expensive, they proved useful for engagements when range mattered.  The ammunition for SPP weapons are known as sabot rounds as the shell ejected breaks apart and the contained self-propelled projectile ignites, breaking from its seal.  All SPP weapons can fire underwater, though their range is half.  They have definitive advantages, such as explosive warheads and guidance systems.      Power (Daily):  Free action.  Before firing, you may decide to re-roll a miss or gain a +5 to your attack roll.Oh yeah...there are more...</blockquote>
