Gun Table

The bench where a gun is made. It is the Tool Table with one difference: it takes only guns, and it has a slot for a round. A gun is a modular item like a pick or a sword: parts of a material, each in a shape, and everything the gun does comes from them.

Crafted like the Tool Table's cousin: two Iron Plates over two Crafting Tables.

What it does

It has the Tool Table's three tabs and its hammer slot (every act costs the hand hammer a point):

  • Parts. Shape a part from stock. The list shows every gun part and its shapes: a receiver as a handgun, rifle, shotgun or machine gun; a barrel in a calibre class; a slide or bolt as an action; a sight as a reflex or a scope; and the fittings.
  • Assemble. Sixteen part slots, a Plan slot for the gun's blueprint (print one at the Blueprint Table) and a Round slot. The parts imply the gun; you never choose a type. The left column names the gun and what each slot filled.
  • Rework. A finished gun in the tool slot: swap a part, add a fitting, a sight, a second barrel, a coil winding or a grip wrap, or take it apart.

Machined parts (from the Drill Press, Lathe and so on) go in the slots just the same: see Gun Parts.

The spec sheet

Put a round in the Round slot and the left column adds the gun's spec sheet against that round: chamber charge against rating (red if over), speed, energy, report, kick, spread and cycle. The table changes nothing; it shows the interaction so you can see which side to change. If the round does not fit the bore it says so.
