Weapon tuning
Possibilities for the tuning of firearms
Fundamentally: It is distinguished between permanent tunings and such, that can be altered at any time. The permanent ones, for example sawing off a barrel to shorten it or the fine adjustment of a trigger done by a good gun smith, are, once done, permanently part of the weapon.
Those that can be altered at any time, are tunings like special sights or scopes. Once mounted, they can be dismounted at any time. It might be advisable to leave the original stats written, too, on the combat sheet.
When there are two numbers divided by a slash at expense, the first number is the price for the materials themselves, the second number is the price one would pay an experienced gun smith to fabricate and mount that tuning.
