Advanced Star Frontiers Weapons Charts Star Frontiers Expanded Weapons Charts Advanced Star Frontiers Weapons Charts The Alpha Dawn game provides a succinct, easy to reference set of charts for many of the standard weapons found in the Star Frontiers universe. This document is not intended to replace that convenient system but rather to supplement it. What follows is a compilation of various weapons that were published in Alpha Dawn(AD) , the Zebulon’s Guide (Zeb) plus the Star Frontiersman (SFM) and Frontier Explorer (FE) magazines with a few of my own weapons thrown in. A few weapons, such as the ancient lasers, were developed by Chris Donovan and posted on the Star Frontiers Wiki site. The Zebulon weapons listed here have been converted to the Alpha Dawn system. Although the original Zebulon rules offered a chart of universal weapons’ ranges, it was incompatible with AD weapons. For example, the point blank and extreme ranges were eliminated in Zebs. Plus, there were several Zeb weapons, such as the helmet rafflurs, that even violated these universal ranges. Although I tried to note the origin of some of the weapons, when it came to the P.G.S. (projectile, gyrojet, sprayer) section, I found it more convenient to list the ammo costs in the same chart so there was no room for this other information. When it came to fan-created weapons from the magazines, I did alter some of the prices where I saw fit. Also, I provided a weight category for items such as powerclips, P.G.S. clips and grenades that previously had no weight in response to discussions on the starfrontiers.us website.

Some gunsmiths have been known to tinker with its settings so it can use up to 6 SEUs per shot, but it will have an automatic failure rate on a roll of 99-100. 9 The Ke-6000 Heavy Laser is unavailable until approximately 75 FY.

Their power packs are so primitive that they cannot be recharged with modern connections but a technician can attempt to jury rig an adapter. Make a Repair Machinery check at -25%. A failure means that the power pack no longer works. Likewise, repairs to the weapon are made at a -25% modifier and a failure means the weapon no longer functions. 11 This is a Ke-1500 laser pistol manufactured by “SD,” a Yazarian-owned firm on Pale (Truane’s Star). 12 This weapon is illegal on most Frontier planets. It is made on the Outer Reach (Dramune) and has only two power settings, 1 and 5. Characters have a 25% chance to palm or hide a Tizzle Laser during a casual search. 13 The advanced power beltpack and backpack are house rules. These units are made of extra light materials. 14 The energy bracer comes from an article by Bill Logan is Star Frontiersman magazine, Issue 19m pg. 41.

The book you hold in your hands contains a myriad of optional rules that can be used to expand the scope of the Star Frontiers Game. Everything in this book is optional and Administrators are encouraged to read everything over and then pick and choose what if anything he wishes to incorporate into his Campaign.

This series of firearms featured a rocket projectile instead of a traditional cartridge. Starting off Ernie covered the background and gave a short history of Arthur Biehl, who teamed with Robert Mainhardt to form MB Associates, or MBA, in order to develop Biehl's armor-piercing rocket rounds. Robert Mainhardt had worked with small portable research nuclear reactors. They developed some small rockets for the Vietnam War called Finjets, which were 3mm in diameter or roughly just over half the diameter of a .22 round. This led to the Lancejet rocket, a larger .25 caliber finless rocket with an explosive head which was to be used for mine clearing. In 1962 they developed the underwater Lancejet speargun. MBA provided examples for the underwater combat scenes in the James Bond movie, “ You Only Live Twice ”. The first pistol cartridge was a 13mm diameter rocket over one inch long moving at 1200 FPS with no recoil.

The Argentines produce four models: the Militar is the standard military variant, and conforms most closely to the original HP-35; the M-90 is a modified version of the Militar, with a lengthened slide stop, reshaped manual safety, anatomical grips, and a plastic projection above the magazine well at the front to help with the grip. The "Detective," as it sounds, is a compact version of the M-90 for concealed work. The M-95 has two new safeties, a firing pin safety and an ambidextrous thumb safety. It also has adjustable front and rear sights. Twilight 2000 Story: Some of these pistols were still being used as late as 2025; however, the M-95 was never built.
