Weapons

Common weapons of the era.

Damage for melee weapons is added to Stun / Wound (if one number is listed, it's the same for each). For missile or piercing weapons, it is listed as Stun and Wound for Normal Hit / Special Hit / Exceptional Hit / Critical Hit.

Accuracy is what penalty you take to AWA or PRO to use the weapon if you are untrained for a ranged weapon. This is not applied if your character has a relevant professional skill in Archery, Firearms, Artillery, Siege Engineering, or the specific ranged weapon.

Rounds is how long a charge takes to explode.
