DIRECT-FIRE WEAPONS

Note: Hi-Ex shell penetration is not affected by range.
* HEAT Penetration is not affected by range ; Composite Armor halves penetration.

Extra Ammunition
Unless stated otherwise, extra rounds (#Shots = 1) cost 5% of the weapon's cost. Extra magazines (#Shots = more than 1) cost 10% of the weapon's cost, per hundred rounds or part thereof (Even launched grenades. The price listed in the description is for retail, small-lot amounts and doesn't take the practice of massive military buying into account). That's right, the gatling guns hold more than their cost in ammunition. Ammo takes up spaces as follows :
- MGs, 40 mm AGL, rail guns = 1/4 space per magazine.
- Miniguns, autocannons, 37 mm = 1/2 space per magazine.
- Gatling guns, 75 mm = 1 space per magazine.
- 90 mm, 105 mm = 1/2 space per shot.
- 120 mm, 140 mm = 1 space per shot.
