Interesting tidbit about ammo belt links

Ah yes, you mean ok for an Aussie but not a whinging Pomme

I am quite impressed by these weapons and was going to give my players a shock by encountering bad guys using them, no doubt they will start using them after this so....

I was going to try to get some stats (v1 rules) on it and the recoil I am now assuming wouldnt be a problem with someone trained to use and a decent stature.

If anyone has some v1 stats it would be appreciated.

And, ultimately, PCs end up facing Terminators T-101. Enjoy and R.I.P.

Maybe for a pussy, not for a real man. Heh heh.

I've read one author speculate that firing the KS-23 is a test of manhood for Spetsnaz troops ...

I've got V1 stats for the 8 gauge at home (currently out and about). Might have 10 gauge as well.

Ok - this KS-23 thing. I have checked out the stats for a standard 23mm vehicle mounted weapon in the v1 rules and realise these cant be applied to the KS-23 as they would just obliterate any body part they hit.

Would maybe reducing the damage to 2/3rds, range to 30 and ammo to 3 be a reasonable compromise as a crude set of stats for this weapon

Took me long enough but here's a doc I found a few years back with 1st ed stats of a handful of shotguns.

The 8 gauge is near the end.

Thanks, Legbreaker!

I can use this and/or adapt the transition of stats from the 12 gauge through 10 and 8 down for the KS-23.
