If you want to keep the list of available gun types to just four, I would recommend an auto pistol, a pump shotgun, a lever-action rifle, and a heavy automatic rifle or very light machine gun.

I'll suggest specific models if you tell me which books you have.
That’s intentional! All the firearms are summonable, so it doesn’t weight until you summon it. I wanted this one to reduce their movement, since it’s much more powerful than a pistol (to keep things balanced). I discussed with the players about all these setting options we could have, including the one you suggested, and they unanimously voted for a Cyberpunk one, so “summoning” is basically having a cuboid become a firearm (some weird science shenanigans). I guess that guides our options?

For equipment I have Ultra-Tech, Bio-Tech and Powers (I still want them to do cool stuff!), but High-Tech: Weapon Tables is just $4. I can get that any day of the week. So for this purpose, I essentially have High-Tech too.

Power-Ups 1: Imbuements has a wide range of weird things you can do with ranged attacks. You need to refit them slightly to make them powers of the weapon, rather than the wielder.

It could work for ideas, but adjusting the power being from the wielder to the weapon is not worth it. I intend on adding the advantages and limiting it with gadget limitations, it’s what is intended. I can have a Link between the summonable weapon and the power… just need help on specific weapons and cool powers they could have that fits the cyberpunkish world.
