Re: CWC2.5 Errata for Junk Dropper
Except of course that the data from the table results in an inconsistency as 25lb + 5 shots at 25 lb gives a loaded weight of 150 lb not 125 lb. The data from the description is internally consistent with 25 lb plus ten shots at 10 lb giving the stated loaded weight of 125 lb.
The weight of a loaded magazine in both sources gives 115 lb where 15 lb plus 5 shots at 25 lb would be 140 lb. Again the 10 shots at 10 lb works out right. I have always used the 10 lb per shot figure, I haven't experienced a surfeit of junk droppers in designs, so I think that indicates that it isn't an overly generous. The output could be as little as 2 x 1/4" squares that might inflict a maximum of 3 points of damage as long as the victim doesn't have solids and is at most a 1/2" sqaure. Enough mines and spikes to make 1" a threat only weigh 5 lb. Ignore the man from SJG, trust the designer instead and use the 10 lb figure. If anyone questions it, tell them I said it was OK. I am not an employee of SJG, but I still support the product even though it is out of print (and can a print it yourself download every technically be out of print?). Who's with me? |

Re: CWC2.5 Errata for Junk Dropper
The UACFH gives 10 lbs/$0/10 shots in both the text and the tables. That's what I'd go with.
I occasionally use Junk Droppers, but filled with sand for icy roads and to counter collision packages.

Re: CWC2.5 Errata for Junk Dropper
And SJG wonders why no one takes their MIBs and editors seriously any more (if ever)....

Tracers are only for DF weapons -- so unless you want a Tracer-loaded Mine Flinger.... >;)
