Hey guys! Here's a LONG list of Shadowrun items I've gathered from hard to find places in soucebooks, adventures, etc., combined with some non-cyber versions of usually cyber-only items, and a bunch of "You know, It'd be really nice to have..." stuff. Most of this gear has been playtested, but I STRONGLY recommend each group have a "trial run" to decide if an item is OK to use or not. If one of these things upsets game balance, don't be afraid as a GM to take it out. You may also wish to alter some items to make them fit into your campaign better. Above all- enjoy this stuff! "Look at all this stuff to BUY!"- Autumn Twilight, power shopper. Shadow Gear Catalog Winter 2050/2051 (vers. 1.5)Part 1 Weapons and accessories.The Uzi 3S.The new Uzi 3S has all the same features as the standard Uzi 3, but boasts an internal sound suppressor. Concealability: 5 Ammunition: 24(c) Mode: SA/B Damage: 6M Weight: 2.5 Availability: 10/36 hrs Cost: 900Y Index: 2Silencers/Sound SuppressorsA full line of noise dampening devices:The Slimline silencerSmaller than your average silencer, the Slimline provides an equal amount of silencing power without adding much to your gun's profile.The MiniSmaller than the slimline, this silencer doesn't dampen the sound much, but doesn't compromise your gun's concealability.Improved Silencer/Sound SuppressorNo larger than your average silencer/sound suppressor, these devices are quieter.Shhhh 7000 Sound SuppressorExtra quiet for those extra sensitive runs. All silencers and sound supressors are available in 100% macroplast versions at double cost.
Bio-InjectorDr. What from Harlequin had one and now you can too. A wrist mounted device that inserts a laminated monofilament injector spike with a sensor guided tip into a target in melee. Does 5L stun damage. If counterattack/combat pool dice modified by 1/2 impact armor (because the injector spike is so smart, strong, flexible and thin) do not prevent damage, the target is also injected with a dose of drug. Holds 4 doses- can be same or different drugs. Concealability: 8 Reach: 0 Ammunition: 4(b) Damage: 5L+drug Weight: .5 Availability: 10/96 hrs. Cost : 15,000Y Index: 1Speed LoadersAvailable for most guns. Concealability: 8 Weight: .5 Availability: 2/24 hrs.

Great for night runs- illuminate target for coordinated attacks. Concealability: 8 Damage: as weapon Weight: .5 Availability: 4/24 hrs. Cost: 30Y Index: 1 (statistics are for 10 rounds)Needle Ammo1.5mm explosive ammunition, needle rounds use impact armor. Any weapon can be converted (at 10% of base cost) to use needle rounds. The weapon then uses its normal damage code. However, needle rounds will not penetrate impact armor of 3 or greater as the rigid plating in these types of armor stops them. Needle rounds are useless against vehicles, except to scratch the paint. Concealability: 8 Damage: as weapon Weight: .5 Availability: 4/36 hrs Cost: 40Y Index: 1 (statistics are for 10 rounds)Powell Knife PistolA light pistol disguised as a knife.

Just kidding. Perfect for getting by chemsniffers. Use with macroplast guns for a virtually undetectable combination. Most gun & ammo types available. All slugs are densiplast. Sorry, no APDS.
Cane SwordDon't go out undefended- or in bad taste. Cane swords are a traditional way to arm yourself inconspicuously. A variety of styles to chose from. Cane knives also available.
Melee WeaponsFlailA 50cm haft with a 30cm cable at one end. A 500g densiplast mace head is mounted on the end of the cable.LanceTwo meters long and five centimeters thick with a blunt "point", a lance can be used as a staff or like an old time knight's lance (at up to 560kph!!!)MaceA 70cm high impact plastic shaft with a 750g densiplast headball (occasionally spiked).TetsuboTwo meters long, tapering from about 8cm thick at the head to 3cm at the butt. Set with metal or densiplast bosses and a 750g striking head.WhipA two meter bullwhip of reinforced polycarb filament, breaking strain of about 1,500kg. Two types of attack are possible; the normal lash and the wrap around attack. If the attacker scores more successes than the defender, the whip is then wrapped about the defender, and a strength check is in order to determine who gets pulled to who.
Smoke & Gas GrenadesA popular item- available in motion arrest, 5 phase, 10 phase and 20 phase delays. Smoke/Gas dispersion takes place at 3m radius the first second, 2 more meters the second, and the final meter the third second. Note the cloud deforms to fill the space that encloses it. Mini grenades fill their 4m radius cloud instantly. Smoke & thermal smoke, Neurostun IX, Niref D, Mace XII and Green Ring 4 available. (Yes, nerve gas grenades. Any character stupid enough to use one deserves what they get.) Colorless and odorless gasses have visual and olfactory tracer particles included in the grenade.
Mace XIIA long standing favorite of city dwellers. Adds +4 to all tests for 20 minutes/body or willpower (whichever is higher) test sucesses vs. a target number of four. Speed is instantanious. Uses taser ranges. 10 uses/container. Concealability: 8 Damage: special Weight : .1 Availability: 2/24 hrs Cost: 20Y Index: .75Green Ring 4Same effect as Green Ring 3 in the NA Guide to Real Life, but persists for only 10 minutes.Niref DA nervous system stimulator, Niref D forces anyone inhaling it to pass a body test (target 12) or add 8 to all their target numbers. This effect lasts or 30 seconds after the victim stops inhaling the gas. Niref D is highly unstable and will fully oxidize in 3 minutes. Speed is instantaneous.Agonadine-deltaDr. What's favorite killing drug! As soon as the dose is injected, the drug causes nerve pain (body 8 test to resist) adding +4 to the victim's target #'s. At the end of the turn when the poison was injected, the target must attempt to resist the poison. If it inflicts a deadly result, the pain increases to extreme levels. The victim falls, screaming uncontrollably, and dies in 10 minutes if not treated successfully. If the poison does less than deadly damage, the pain diminishes to dull irritation. Injection only. 40Y/dose.Part 2 ElectronicsRadio JammerBlocks all radio communication on selected band or on all bands designated for two-way short range communication.

However, some gases are easier to detect than others. For example, the Neuro-Stun series is particularly difficult to detect, and the detection system receives no modifiers to detect these gases. Characters wearing, or in the proximity of, a gas detector may make a Surprise Test to take appropriate action if they have a delayed action available (or act on that combat phase) and are receiving their initial exposure to the gas in the combat phase in which the gas detector sounds the alarm.
