Firearms are primarily slug-throwers. Many weapons offer two versions, for standard loads or for caseless ammunition, though the latter is far more common in the 2070s. A weapon can fire either type of ammunition, but not both interchangeably. A digital ammunition counter and wireless capability are standard equipment for modern firearms.

Tasers deliver an electric charge that inflicts Electricity Damage to incapacitate a target. Tasers are resisted with half armor (round up). Use the Firearms skill when firing a taser.
=='''Hold-Outs'''==
Hold-out pistols are very concealable and are perfect for sneaking into a meet or wearing as a back-up piece. They don’t have much else going for them, being both weak and inaccurate. Hold-outs can’t take accessories.
*'''Fichetti Tiffani Needler''': Designed to appeal to social climbers and debutantes, the Tiffani Needler is available in a wide variety of colors and styles. It also has a special color-changing coating that can be manipulated via wireless signal. This is useful to make sure your gun matches with your shoes or your handbag.

*'''Walther Palm Pistol''': This is a classic double-barreled derringer in an over-under barrel combination. It packs a punch for its size, but on the downside it has one of the most diminutive “magazine” capacities on the market—just one bullet per barrel. Both barrels can be fired at once as a short burst.
*'''Defiance EX Shocker''': The EX Shocker fires up to 4 darts that trail wires of up to 20 meters long. It also features contacts that allow it to be used as stun weapon in melee.
=='''Light Pistols'''==

In addition to its integral silencer, the Ares Light Fire 75 includes a smartgun system.
*'''Beretta 201T''': This light sidearm is used by many security professionals. It is capable of burst fire. Since the 201T is classified as a light pistol without further limitations, it is quite popular with security agencies in countries where heavy pistols and machine pistols are hard to come by legally. Burst-firing the Beretta 201T requires a Complex Action. The weapon includes a detachable shoulder stock.

The Omni-6 includes an integral laser sight.
*'''Yamaha Pulsar''': The Pulsar fires capacitor darts at a target, eliminating the wires that trail from dart to weapon with other taser models.
=='''Heavy Pistols'''==
Heavy pistols are powerful sidearms that are a good compromise between concealability and firepower. Heavy pistols can take top- and barrel- mounted accessories.
*'''Ares Predator V''': The newest iteration of the most popular handgun in the world, especially with mercenaries and shadowrunners. Upgraded with improved ergonomics and handling features, the Ares Predator V includes a smartgun system. Some say that the Ares Predator V isn’t better than other guns in its class, but no one can argue that it has better brand recognition.
*'''Ares Viper Slivergun''': [[File:Shadowrun Ares Viper Slivergun.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Ares Viper Slivergun]]The Slivergun is a sleek weapon with burst fire capabilities and built-in sound suppression. It fires metal slivers that count as flechette ammunition (already factored in to the Damage Code).
*'''Browning Ultra-Power''': This venerable sidearm is the Ares Predator’s primary competition as the world’s toughest heavy pistol. It offers a built-in top-mounted laser sight and is slightly cheaper.
Use the Firearms skill when firing a hold-out pistol.
*'''Colt Government 2066''':[[File:Shadowrun Colt Manhunter Heavy Pistol.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Colt Manhunter]] This government-issue weapon, styled after the legendary Colt M1911a1, uses an electrically induced spark to detonate the bullet’s propellants. The removal of most moving parts from the firing mechanism gives this weapon a reputation for being exceptionally reliable.
*'''Raecor Sting''': This weapon’s “lemon-squeezer” design (the gun’s barrel protrudes from between the firer’s fingers and it’s fired by making a fist) and its polyresin composition (undetectable by MAD scanners) makes for a very stealthy weapon. It fires flechette ammunition only (already included in the weapon stats).
*'''Remington Roomsweeper''':[[File:Shadowrun Remington Roomsweeper Heavy Pistol.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Remington Roomsweeper]] This short-barreled “shotgun pistol” can be loaded with shot rounds rather than slugs, in which cases it uses heavy-pistol ranges but shotgun rules. The Damage Code listed is for slugs.
*'''Streetline Special''': This small, lightweight weapon is made of composite materials (MADs suffer a –1D+1 to detect it). It is a common weapon among those on society’s bottom rung.
*'''Ruger Super Warhawk''':[[File:Shadowrun Ruger Super Warhawk Heavy Pistol.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Ruger Super Warhawk]] Feeling lucky, punk? This heavy revolver looks as scary as the holes it tears through things. It cannot be equipped with a silencer.

Firearm enthusiasts will be the first to tell you that sport and hunting rifles are technically not sniper rifles, but they are similar enough in terms of game statistics to be included here rather than in their own section. Sniper rifles can take top, barrel-, and underbarrel-mounted accessories.
*'''Ares Desert Strike''': This combat-hardened sniper rifle is intended for long-range shooting in harsh environments. That means it was built without materials or technologies prone to failure. It comes equipped with a rigid stock with shock pad and a detachable imaging scope.
==='''Sniper Rifles'''===
*'''Cavalier Arms Crockett EBR''': Straddling the line between assault rifle and sniper rifle, the Crockett EBR features a burst fire mode.

It comes equipped with a rigid stock with shock pad and a detachable imaging scope.
Use the Firearms skill when firing precision sniper rifles. While sturdier than earlier models, sniper rifles in 2072 are still not designed for close-up combat. At the end of every Turn in which the rifle is used in a running firefight (as opposed to a sniping situation), roll a Dexterity Test. For every Dexterity Test failed, the weapon incurs a –1D modifier until it is recalibrated with a Repair (20, 1 Minute) Extended Test. The modifier is doubled if the weapon is used in combat as a melee weapon or to defend from a melee attack.
*'''Ranger Arms SM–5''': A legendary assassin’s weapon, this sniper rifle features a silencer, an imaging scope, and a rigid stock with shock pad. The SM–5 disassembles completely in order to fit into a standard briefcase; setting it up or breaking it down takes an Extended Firearms Repair Test (Difficulty 25). While deadly, the SM–5 is fragile. At the end of every Combat Turn in which the weapon is used in a running firefight, reduce its Accuracy by 1D+1 (to a minimum of -4D). If the weapon is used in combat as a melee weapon or to defend from a melee attack, reduce its Accuracy by 2D+2 (again to a minimum of -4D). Recalibrating the weapon (a one-hour job) returns its Accuracy to normal.
*'''Ranger Arms SM-4''': This rifle features a silencer, imaging scope, and a rigid stock with shock pad. The SM-4 disassembles completely in order to fit into a standard briefcase; assembling or disassembling it takes 3 Complex Actions.
*'''Remington 950''': This high-powered bolt-action hunting rifle features classic wooden furniture and a top-mounted imaging scope that have kept it popular with hunters for several decades. It cannot mount underbarrel accessories.
*'''Walther MA-2100''': The chosen sniper rifle of the Confederated American States Army, the MA-2100 is designed to military specifications. It is far more stable and hardy than other sniper rifles (dispensing with the Dexterity Test when used in Ranged Combat outside its sniping role, though not Melee Combat). However, the downside to this model is that it cannot be disassembled to fit into a briefcase. It comes with an internal smartgun system and a rigid stock with shock pad. [[File:Shadowrun Walther MA-2100.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Walther MA-2100]]
*'''Ruger 101''': This futuristic-looking gas-operated sporting rifle is the favorite weapon for many professional hunters and hobbyists. It features a built-in imaging scope and a rigid stock with shock pad.
The stats for these shotguns are for normal slug rounds. When firing shot, use the special rules for shotguns, choke settings, and flechette ammo. Shotguns can take top, barrel, and underbarrel accessories.
*'''Defiance T–250''': A common sight on the mean streets when things escalate beyond pistols and knives, this semi-automatic shotgun is available in either a normal- length or short-barreled version. It is gas operated, but also features a secondary pump action for situations where preventing jams is more important than quickly firing a second shot. The short-barreled version has the Concealability of +2D+2, the range of a heavy pistol, and a damage code of 6D.
*'''Enfield AS-7''': This military assault shotgun provides its user with massive firepower. As a close-quarters weapon and general combat gun, it is universally feared.

*'''Mossberg AM-CMDT''': This heavy automatic shotgun can fill a whole room with whirling pellets of shot in an instant, which makes it a terrifying weapon in house-to-house combat. It fires flechette ammuniton only (already included in the weapon stats).
*'''PJSS Model 55''': This is a weapon of classic style for a classic sport. Produced only in small numbers, it’s renowned among European hunters and trap shooters as a precise and prestigious weapon. The weapon’s rigid stock comes equipped with an integrated shock pad. Both barrels can be shot at once as a short burst.
*'''Remington 990''': The Remington includes an imaging scope and a rigid stock with shock pad. It can fire regular slug or flechette ammunition.
*'''Ares S-III Super Squirt''': This popular non-lethal weapon fires dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, a carrier that forces the skin to absorb chemicals) gel packs that can deliver a chemical substance over light pistol ranges. The attack itself causes no damage, but when the target is hit successfully, the DMSO delivers the substance directly into the target’s bloodstream.
*'''Ares S-III Super Squirt''': This popular non-lethal weapon fires dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, a carrier that forces the skin to absorb chemicals) gel packs that can deliver a chemical substance over light pistol ranges. The attack itself causes no damage, but when the target is hit successfully, the DMSO delivers the substance directly into the target’s bloodstream.
*'''Fichetti Pain Inducer''': This non-lethal weapon uses a microwave beam that excites the molecules of the target’s skin, inflicting intense pain (the target feels as if she were on fire). Treat this like a toxin attack with a Power of 5D+1. The target resists with Strength + half armor (round up). If the modified Power exceeds the target’s Willpower, the target must spend her next Action Phase doing whatever it takes to get away from the pain (usually this means running away). The attacker can continue to hold her beam on a target with a Complex Action unless the gamemaster deems the target has dodged away or found cover. If the target cannot flee, she is incapacitated with pain and suffers a dice pool modifier equal to the modified Power on all tests for as long as the beam is trained on her. The Pain Inducer has 10 charges; when attached to a power point, it reloads one charge per 10 seconds.
*'''Fichetti Pain Inducer''': For a non-lethal weapon, the Fichetti Pain Inducer is not very humane. It makes someone feel like they are in a microwave, roasting from the inside out. Treat this as a toxin attack with a Power of 5D+1 and a speed of Immediate. The target resists with Strength. If the modified Power exceeds the target’s limit, the target must spend his next Action Phase doing whatever it takes to run away from the pain. The attacker can continue to hold her beam on a target with a Complex Action unless the gamemaster deems the target has dodged away or found cover. If the target cannot get out of the beam, he is incapacitated with pain, suffering a dice pool modifier equal to the modified Power on all tests for as long as the beam is trained on him.<br />The Pain Inducer uses SMG ranges and can take top and underbarrel accessories. It has ten charges; when attached to a power point, it reloads one charge every ten seconds.

Machine guns come in three varieties—light, medium, and heavy—that determine their ranges. All, even the “light” ones, are in fact very heavy and large. A light machine gun is physically bigger and heavier than an assault rifle. MMGs and HMGs could be carried by someone with Strength of 5D+1+ and 6D+2 (respectively), but they work better as vehicle-mounted weapons. They suffer from double modifiers for uncompensated recoil. Machine guns can take top, barrel, and underbarrel accessories.
*'''Ingram Valiant''': This legendary light machine gun is popular with mercenary units the world over. It comes with a rigid stock with shock pad, a laser sight, and a barrel-mounted gas-vent 2 system.
==='''Machine Guns and Assault Cannons'''===
*'''Stoner-Ares M202''': This MMG packs a tremendous punch into a relatively lightweight framework made of extra-durable compounds. Due to its relatively small size, it’s a very popular secondary weapon for heavy military vehicles. Trolls with no concept of subtlety sometimes deck them out with accessories for use as personal weapons.
Use the Firearms skill when firing these weapons. They suffer from double Recoil modifiers.
*'''RPK HMG''': This heavy Russian machine gun is used by the militaries of several eastern European and Near East countries, primarily as a vehicle-mounted support weapon. Equipped with a detachable tripod, the RPK is usually fired from a prone, sitting, or kneeling position when not mounted on a vehicle.
*'''Ingram White Knight''': When you’re looking for a good bang for your buck, the White Knight is your kind of gun. It’s equipped with a detachable folding stock and an integral gas-vent system that provides 5 points of recoil compensation and cannot be further upgraded.
=='''Cannons & Launchers'''==
All suffer from double modifiers for uncompensated recoil. Both assault cannons and launchers can take top and underbarrel accessories. Naturally, assault cannons use assault cannon ammo, grenade launchers fire minigrenades, and missile launchers launch missiles or rockets.
*'''Ares Antioch–2''': The Antioch–2 features a classic grenade launcher design combined with an integral smartlink system. It is one of the more affordable grenade launchers on the market.
*'''Stoner-Ares M202''': This MMG packs a tremendous punch into a relatively light framework made of extra-durable compounds.

*'''Onotari Interceptor''': This Saeder-Krupp-developed military missile launcher is designed to fire rockets or guided missiles, of any type. It has two separate barrels and firing chambers, and can load up to two missiles at once, which need not be of the same type. Due to backblast issues, it is not capable of “giving ‘em both barrels.” It features an internal smartgun system.
*'''Panther XXL''': [[File:Shadowrun Panther Cannon.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Panther XXL]]This huge fragging gun is an assault cannon that uses ammunition similar to the primary weapon in many small tanks. It comes with a built-in smartgun system.
Firearms are primarily slug-throwers. Many weapons offer two versions, for standard loads or for caseless ammunition, though the latter is far more common in the 2070s. A weapon can fire either type of ammunition, but not both interchangeably. A digital ammunition counter and wireless capability are standard equipment for modern firearms.
Mode: A firearm’s firing mode indicates the rate of fire it is capable of. Some weapons have more than one mode available, so characters may switch between them. The firing modes are:
SS (single-shot)
SA (semi-automatic)
BF (burst fire)
FA (full auto)
Recoil Compensation (RC): This lists the amount of recoil compensation a firearm has to offer, reducing the modifiers from a weapon’s recoil.

Hold-out pistols are very concealable and are perfect for sneaking into a meet or wearing as a back-up piece. They don’t have much else going for them, being both weak and inaccurate. Hold-outs can’t take accessories.

Fichetti Tiffani Needler: Designed to appeal to social climbers and debutantes, the Tiffani Needler is available in a wide variety of colors and styles. It also has a special color-changing coating that can be manipulated via wireless signal. This is useful to make sure your gun matches with your shoes or your handbag.

Streetline Special
Walther Palm Pistol: This is a classic double-barreled derringer in an over-under barrel combination. It packs a punch for its size, but on the downside it has one of the most diminutive “magazine” capacities on the market—just one bullet per barrel. Both barrels can be fired at once as a short burst.
Light pistols are highly accurate and fairly concealable, occupying a comfortable middle ground between Hold-outs and Heavy Pistols. They’re extremely common on the streets. Light pistols can take top- and barrel-mounted accessories.

The Omni-6 includes an integral laser sight.
Heavy pistols are powerful sidearms that are a good compromise between concealability and firepower. Heavy pistols can take top- and barrel- mounted accessories.

Ares Predator V: The newest iteration of the most popular handgun in the world, especially with mercenaries and shadowrunners. Upgraded with improved ergonomics and handling features, the Ares Predator V includes a smartgun system.

Colt Government 2066:Colt Manhunter This government-issue weapon, styled after the legendary Colt M1911a1, uses an electrically induced spark to detonate the bullet’s propellants. The removal of most moving parts from the firing mechanism gives this weapon a reputation for being exceptionally reliable.

Ares Desert Strike: This combat-hardened sniper rifle is intended for long-range shooting in harsh environments. That means it was built without materials or technologies prone to failure. It comes equipped with a rigid stock with shock pad and a detachable imaging scope.
Cavalier Arms Crockett EBR: Straddling the line between assault rifle and sniper rifle, the Crockett EBR features a burst fire mode. While it lacks the magazine capacity of a true assault rifle, and lacks the precision of a true marksman’s weapon, it makes up for this in versatility, being able to switch fluidly between a sniping role and a combat role as easy as flipping a switch. It comes equipped with a rigid stock with shock pad and a detachable imaging scope.
Ranger Arms SM–5: A legendary assassin’s weapon, this sniper rifle features a silencer, an imaging scope, and a rigid stock with shock pad. The SM–5 disassembles completely in order to fit into a standard briefcase; setting it up or breaking it down takes an Extended Firearms Repair Test (Difficulty 25). While deadly, the SM–5 is fragile. At the end of every Combat Turn in which the weapon is used in a running firefight, reduce its Accuracy by 1D+1 (to a minimum of -4D). If the weapon is used in combat as a melee weapon or to defend from a melee attack, reduce its Accuracy by 2D+2 (again to a minimum of -4D). Recalibrating the weapon (a one-hour job) returns its Accuracy to normal.
Remington 950: This high-powered bolt-action hunting rifle features classic wooden furniture and a top-mounted imaging scope that have kept it popular with hunters for several decades. It cannot mount underbarrel accessories.
Ruger 101: This futuristic-looking gas-operated sporting rifle is the favorite weapon for many professional hunters and hobbyists. It features a built-in imaging scope and a rigid stock with shock pad.
The stats for these shotguns are for normal slug rounds. When firing shot, use the special rules for shotguns, choke settings, and flechette ammo. Shotguns can take top, barrel, and underbarrel accessories.

Defiance T–250: A common sight on the mean streets when things escalate beyond pistols and knives, this semi-automatic shotgun is available in either a normal- length or short-barreled version. It is gas operated, but also features a secondary pump action for situations where preventing jams is more important than quickly firing a second shot. The short-barreled version has the Concealability of +2D+2, the range of a heavy pistol, and a damage code of 6D.
Enfield AS-7: This military assault shotgun provides its user with massive firepower. As a close-quarters weapon and general combat gun, it is universally feared. It can either be loaded with ten-round ammo clips or a special twenty-four-round drum. The Enfield AS-7 comes equipped with a built-in, top-mounted laser sight.
PJSS Model 55: This is a weapon of classic style for a classic sport. Produced only in small numbers, it’s renowned among European hunters and trap shooters as a precise and prestigious weapon. The weapon’s rigid stock comes equipped with an integrated shock pad. Both barrels can be shot at once as a short burst.
Ares S-III Super Squirt: This popular non-lethal weapon fires dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, a carrier that forces the skin to absorb chemicals) gel packs that can deliver a chemical substance over light pistol ranges. The attack itself causes no damage, but when the target is hit successfully, the DMSO delivers the substance directly into the target’s bloodstream.
Fichetti Pain Inducer: For a non-lethal weapon, the Fichetti Pain Inducer is not very humane. It makes someone feel like they are in a microwave, roasting from the inside out. Treat this as a toxin attack with a Power of 5D+1 and a speed of Immediate. The target resists with Strength. If the modified Power exceeds the target’s limit, the target must spend his next Action Phase doing whatever it takes to run away from the pain. The attacker can continue to hold her beam on a target with a Complex Action unless the gamemaster deems the target has dodged away or found cover. If the target cannot get out of the beam, he is incapacitated with pain, suffering a dice pool modifier equal to the modified Power on all tests for as long as the beam is trained on him. The Pain Inducer uses SMG ranges and can take top and underbarrel accessories. It has ten charges; when attached to a power point, it reloads one charge every ten seconds.
Parashield Dart Pistol: The industry standard dart pistol, the Parashield dart pistol fires injection darts with narcoject or another payload. The Parashield dart pistol uses heavy pistol ranges.
Parashield Dart Rifle: The rifle version of the Parashield Dart Pistol, this rifle uses compressed air to fire injection darts. The Parashield rifle uses sporting rifle ranges.
Machine guns come in three varieties—light, medium, and heavy—that determine their ranges. All, even the “light” ones, are in fact very heavy and large. A light machine gun is physically bigger and heavier than an assault rifle. MMGs and HMGs could be carried by someone with Strength of 5D+1+ and 6D+2 (respectively), but they work better as vehicle-mounted weapons. They suffer from double modifiers for uncompensated recoil. Machine guns can take top, barrel, and underbarrel accessories.

Stoner-Ares M202: This MMG packs a tremendous punch into a relatively lightweight framework made of extra-durable compounds. Due to its relatively small size, it’s a very popular secondary weapon for heavy military vehicles. Trolls with no concept of subtlety sometimes deck them out with accessories for use as personal weapons.
RPK HMG: This heavy Russian machine gun is used by the militaries of several eastern European and Near East countries, primarily as a vehicle-mounted support weapon. Equipped with a detachable tripod, the RPK is usually fired from a prone, sitting, or kneeling position when not mounted on a vehicle.
All suffer from double modifiers for uncompensated recoil. Both assault cannons and launchers can take top and underbarrel accessories. Naturally, assault cannons use assault cannon ammo, grenade launchers fire minigrenades, and missile launchers launch missiles or rockets.

Ares Antioch–2: The Antioch–2 features a classic grenade launcher design combined with an integral smartlink system. It is one of the more affordable grenade launchers on the market.
ArmTech MGL–12: ArmTech MGL-12This bullpup-configuration grenade launcher is popular, since it can fire in semi-auto mode and carries substantially more minigrenades than its competitors.
Aztechnology Striker: The Striker is an extremely light disposable launcher—perfect when you want to deliver a punch and make a quick, unencumbered getaway.
Krime Cannon: Krime may be a small-time manufacturer, but their assault cannon, simply called the Cannon, is a cheap heavy weapon big on attitude and firepower. It comes standard with modification for trolls, and so is the first weapon in the Sixth World to be intended for larger customers.
Onotari Interceptor: This Saeder-Krupp-developed military missile launcher is designed to fire rockets or guided missiles, of any type. It has two separate barrels and firing chambers, and can load up to two missiles at once, which need not be of the same type. Due to backblast issues, it is not capable of “giving ‘em both barrels.” It features an internal smartgun system.
Panther XXL: Panther XXLThis huge fragging gun is an assault cannon that uses ammunition similar to the primary weapon in many small tanks. It comes with a built-in smartgun system.
