[Ultra-Tech] Guns and ammo questions - Page 2

I’ll just get right into it.

a) Why does the TL 9 Assault Carbine have lower Acc then the TL 7 Assault Rifle? (Alternatively, why does the TL 9 Assault Carbine have more bulk than the TL 8 one?)

b) Are Shaped Charge and HEMP warheads really only double normal cost? Like, a 40mm Shaped Charge grenade costs $20? I ask because they seem really good, in particular outshining APHC when available.

c) What is so “Multi-Purpose” about HEMP warheads?

d) Are Shaped Charge and HEMP warheads the same except that HEMP can be used in smaller rounds and Shaped Charges get bonus damage at TL 10 instead of TL 11?

e) Is High Explosive damage intended to be follow-up while High Explosive Concussion damage is linked?

f) I remember some rule about follow-up explosive attacks hitting the vitals if their host attack penetrated the torso. But now I can’t seem to find it…

g) Is the Electrothermal-Chemical option (with its +50% damage) intended to be used at TL 10 to help small arms keep up with the ~50% increase in TL 10 armor’s DR over TL 9 armor?

Thank you for your time.
