Default Need help statting up a few modern firearms...

The Walther WA 2000 semi-automatic bullpup sniper rifle and McMillan Tac-50 bolt-action anti-materiel rifle aren't in GURPS Fourth Edition High-Tech, so I need some help coming up with the stats for them.

I tried making a start...

Walther WA 2000, .300 Winchester Magnum
Tech Level: 8
Damage: 8d+1 pi
Accuracy: 6+3
Range: 1,300/5,000
Weight: ?/?
Rate of Fire: 3
Shots: 6+1(3)
Strength: 11B†
Bulk: -5
Recoil: 3

McMillan Tac-50, .50 BMG
Tech Level: 8
Damage: 6dx2 pi+
Accuracy: 6+3
Range: 1,700/6,500
Weight: ?/?
Rate of Fire: 1
Shots: 5+1(3)
Strength: 13B†
Bulk: -7
Recoil: 3

Any and all help is appreciated. :-)

Those number are without a scope, which is an odd for a gun without irons. So in practice its about 1lb heavier.

When loaded with 7.5×55mm Swiss it looks to do about 7d+1 pi.

Can you take a gander at the other stats for both of them and see if they look alright?

I'm getting 8d-1 for damage. But it's all in the details I guess, nothing major really.

Damage and range will be the same as any other conventional firearm using the same caliber. This is why many firearms not in HT are not particular chalenges to stat up.

ACC will be the norm for sniper rifles if these things really are state of the art sniper rifles.

Your figure's probably right, I ripped mine from the FN BAR Magnum.

That was a problem for the WA 2000 because the only other firearm of that caliber was a FN BAR.

Yeah the Barrett M82 and Accuracy International Arctic Warfare have accuracy 6+3 so I'm going to go with that.

Does the Heckler & Koch MK23 qualify for Bulk -3? I've heard that, in real life, it's quite heavy for a tactical pistol.

It's in Tactical Shooting and yes, it does have Bulk -3.
