Unless explicitly indicated for a specific weapon, ranged weapons have the modification slots shown in the table to the right.
Accessories
Improved Range Finder[2]
This item does not exist because it is written poorly. There is not enough text provided to unambiguously determine how it interacts with other Environmental Modifiers[3].
Modified Weapons
Beretta 201T[4]
This weapon may make Burst Fire attacks, but may not be used for Long Bursts.
Cavalier Thunderstruck[5]
This weapon does not exist; the Ruger Thunderbolt is still Lone Star's premier heavy pistol. Part of the fluff was that the rounds are fired in such rapid succession that it sounds like a single rolling thunderclap, hence the name, and the tight groups provided greater penetration. The Thunderbolt uses the exact same stats as the Thunderstruck, with an AP of -3 and a prohibition against altering the barrel at all; the included Gas Vent (R:2) cannot be improved and other barrel accessories or modifications cannot be fitted.
Savalette Guardian[6]
Giving a weapon the BF fire mode and then saying it takes a Complex Action is no different than not having the BF mode at all — an SA weapon can fire a Semi-Automatic Burst[7] as a Complex Action anyway.
This weapon may make Burst Fire attacks, but may not be used for Long Bursts.
