Heavy barrel

This page describes one of the permanent weapon tunings.

A heavier barrel eases the handling of a rifle while firing prone, since the rifle buckles less when firing bursts or shooting quickly.

Requirement:One of these rifles:

• Colt Rangemaster hunting rifle
  
• Garand M1
  
• Mauser K98k
  
• Gunrunner Callahan revolver rifle
  
• Winchester Model 73
  
• Winchester Model 86
  
• Winchester Model 95
  
• As well as any assault rifle

Requirements for the tuner:One does not need a special workshop to install the barrel. But the skills rifles and armorer must be at least 50 points.

To produce such a heavier barrel, one needs armorer at 80 points or higher and a Workshop class of class B1 (special workshop metal and wood) or better.

Time:
Installing: 2 minutes
Producing: 2 days

Average price:

500 $

Effect: The weapon is a now one pound heavier. It's easier to use prone, which gives the shooter +5 to every shot fired prone.
However, the gun is harder to use when kneeling or standing: -10 on every shot in those stances.
Furthermore the handicap for bursts is reduced by 5 points.

Special rule: This is easily combineable with the second pistol grip tuning.
