The small core of radioactive material in an atom gun is powerful enough to keep the weapon charged for tens of thousands of years, but the weapon becomes incredibly hot when fired, dealing 1d6 points of damage to the user and subsequently beginning a cool-down protocol, during which the weapon cannot be fired for 1 minute.

As with magic weapons, a technological weapon can be sold by PCs for half this value.

If an existing weapon proficiency allows the new weapons use, that weapon proficiency is listed in parentheses.

Note that Exotic Weapon Proficiency (heavy weaponry) works similarly to Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms) in that it allows access to a wide range of similar weapons.

The type of damage dealt by the weapon is listed after the damage value.

Most weapons list the damage dealt by Medium and Small versions of the weapon; weapons with only one damage entry deal the same amount of damage regardless of size.

Unless otherwise noted, all firearms in this chapter are treated as projectile weapons for the purpose of determining their maximum range.

A Small weapon weighs half as much; a Large weapon weighs twice as much.

This line starts from any corner of the wielders space and extends to the limit of the weapons range or until it strikes a barrier it cannot penetrate.

When using an automatic weapon to attack all creatures in a line, the wielder makes a separate attack roll against each creature in the line.

Each creature in the line can be attacked with only one shot from each burst.

Each attack roll takes a -2 penalty, and its damage cannot be modified by precision damage or damage-increasing feats such as Vital Strike.

Effects that grant concealment, such as fog or smoke, or the blur, invisibility, or mirror image spells, do not affect an automatic weapons line attack.

Roll to confirm each attack roll that threatens a critical hit separately.

When taking a full-attack action with an automatic weapon, the wielder can fire as many bursts in a round as he has attacks, provided he has enough charges to make all of the attacks.

However, the user can take a full-attack action to fire twice, as if using the Rapid Shot feat (including taking a -2 penalty on all attacks).

If the wielder has the Rapid Shot feat, she can use the additional shot from that as well, but the penalty for all shots fired in that round increases to -6.

These requirements generally consist of having a feat and access to a particular kind of manufacturing facility.

It is also the Knowledge (engineering) DC to correctly identify the weapon.

Generally this cost is equal to half the price of the weapon.

Damage types are abbreviated as follows: B (bludgeoning), C (cold), E (electricity), F (fire), P (piercing), and S (slashing).

Arc pistols gain a 2 circumstance bonus on attack rolls against targets that are metal or are wearing medium or heavy metal armor.

An atom guns range is relatively short, and the weapon can fire only scattering shots.

The beams of radiation created when the wielder fires an atom gun do not fill the cone in a homogeneous area, and she must still make a ranged touch attack to irradiate a target.

A creature struck by an atom gun attack suffers the effects of medium radiation.
