The 'hotshot' heat-seeking round wasn't an additional round type, but an attachment fitted to the end of the barrel a little similar to rifle grenade in concept.The lawgiver was certainly the first thing that came to my mind for variable ammunition. Another viable option is to have a weapon which has a range of ammunition of the same calibre. In my sci-fi game the 'cartridge gun' was popular, a revolver and each chamber could be loaded with one of - armour piercing discarding sabot, shotshell, high explosive, tranq, grappling line, smoke. I think the idea was inspired by the snub pistol in original traveller.Cheers</blockquote>
