As it stands the 4th ed take on it seems to be a weird metal storm tech multi-barrel rocket launcher or maybe some kind of grenade launcher (It's counted as a LAW but it also has a half damage range.... Ultra-Tech... we need to have a talk heh). In GURPS: Ogre it's treated as an grenade launcher that uses compressed air to fire the rounds. This version only holds 8 rounds and given that 8 rounds weigh 8lbs (it doesn't really state if they are in a magazine or a clip or if you need to load each one individually) This version is firing a round much heftier then 15 or even 40mm. To make them be worth a damn, a TL 9 15mm HEAT round should do 8d+1 (5) cr in + linked 1d cr ex. Getting hit by 30 of those would kinda suck heh.

Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
A survey of TL8 HEAT/HEDP rounds:
40x46mm: 7d(10) + 6d [2d] 25x59mm: 4d(10) + 3d [2d-1] 20x28mm: 4d(10) + 1d 12 ga/18.5mm: 1d(10) +1d (HT103) Also, HT’s ammunition chapter lists 20mm minimum for HEAT and HEDP. UT HEAT starts at 25mm with 15 dice of (10) and 40mm heat with 24d(10). Huh. For both of those, that’s very close to 3.5 times TL8 damage. Let’s call that a pattern! I’d say TL9 15mm HEAT might deal 4d(10). Another solution is to just say that the splat gun is actually 25mm caliber and rework WPS from there. It’s really a low velocity dispenser for special payloads, so it would benefit from the larger caliber. |

Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
While there's not a lot of GURPS content on YouTube, there a few channels that are dedicated to our favorite system. In this post I cover a few, help these guys grow and we might just sate the almighty algorithm enough to maybe get the word out to more people!

But yeah, 15mm is an odd size for this weapon and in fact the 3rd edition version was 25mm if I remember correctly.

The physics of the shaped charge is what limits the smaller rounds. The penetrating power of the copper jet is proportional to the diameter of the cone of explosives. This is why the RPG-7 has its distinctive overcaliber warhead: to get a larger diameter for a more powerful effect.

Caliber isn't everything, density and malleability of the liner, advanced "tricks" like wave forming, and stand off distance also effect the penetrating power. Since they are such simple rounds they lack the advanced features and fusing that lets them go off at just the right distance from the target to maximize effect. So yeah, a 15mm HEAT round is always going to do less damage then a 20mm one assuming the same level of tech but change some of these assumptions and the distance between them can change drastically.

Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
Holy crap, is that a new GURB post?! Why yes, yes it is!
In this post I cover how to kill your players with explosions, even if they're behind thick armor, while also giving you way to save them from your wrath..... for a price of course.

Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
A post I started like 2 years ago, forgot about till Enraged Eggplant made a youtube video about it and finally finished is here!
Welp, it's time to strike another weapon that wasn't covered in the Blaster and Laser Deign System off the list. In this post I cover the often neglected Microwave Weapons. Poorly equiped civilians and rombas will never be a threat again!

Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
Spoiler Warning: I love me some Cyberpunk and the works of Masamune Shirow played a big part in this.
In today's post I look over the main firearm used used by the crack forces of Security Section 9.... no not the one that looks like the FAMAS (!) but the one that started it all: The Seburo C-25A.

Re: GURB- The Generic Unoriginal Roleplaying Blog
In this post I boldly go to a topic I never covered before: Ultra-Tech melee!
Click the link to check out my try at updating the rules for vibroblades to something a little more fleshed out.
