Ammunition is used in a variety of firearms, melee weapons, and even a few unarmed weapons (like the Power Fist). They run the gamut from the humble rivet to the mighty Micro-Fusion Cell (MFC).

Ammo VariantsEdit

Some types of ammunition can support variants. Variants modify the base properties of the ammo. Ammo variants often cost more money than standard ammo.

• Hollow Point: +50% Damage, x3 Damage Threshhold on targets
• Armor Piercing: -25% Damage, +50% (of total damage) DT Pircing
• High Pressure: +25% Damage, +5% Critical Failure Chance
• Rat-shot: Non-leathal Damage, +50% Damage Threshold on target, -5 range
• Rocksalt: Non-leathal Damage, +50% Damage Threshold on target
• Slug: -25% Damage, +10 Range
• Flachette: -25% Damage, -5 DT on Target, -2 Range
• Dragon's Breath: Fire Damage, Maximum 3 Range

ReloadingEdit

Characters in Fallout can't fire bullets forever. When they run out, it's time to reload. The cost for reloading varies by the type of the reloading being done. Clearing means to release/remove the item. The magazines/shells/etc. drop to the ground after being cleared unless the character wants to catch it in his or her other hand (assuming it is not holding something else) as a free action. Loading means that the character places an item full of ammo into the receiver. It takes the same amount of time to pack two individual rounds into a gun that uses no clip (such as a pump shotgun or revolver) as it does to load a clip. Clearing or Loading can be done before or after a movement in a turn, but if they want to both Clear and Load in the same turn, the player must stay in place. The same goes for loading twice, or should they need to, clearing twice. (how ever they are still allowd their 1 Hex movement in all cases)

• Clear OR Load, then move once
• Move, then Clear OR Load
• Clear & Load, no movement
• Load twice or Clear twice, no movement
