GURPS: FALLOUT - Fallout GURPS - Free

Melee Weapons and Firearms
Weapon malfunctions in the wastes: In the wastes, weapons are often old and have been exposed to dust and other severe conditions. These weapons
are more supposed to suffer a malfunction. So, Malf. value will usually be one or two points below the usual Malf. of the weapon.
Thus Malf. will be usually 15 for TL 5 and 16 for TL6+.
These weapons cost the listed price.
Weapons with Malf. 14 at TL5 and 15 at TL 6+ will usually cost half the listed price (well, if you find an honest merchant). However, new weapons (never
used or just built) have the same Malf. than described in GURPS 4ed p279. They cost twice the price listed on the Fallout Weapons tables.

Spring Sword: This sword is made out of a large truck leaf-spring,
straightened with hammer and anvil, sharpened at the edges, sword is
otherwise durable (and somewhat flexible) but does not hold its edge as
well as a 'real' quality sword. For breaking purposes, treat as Fine weapon,
but for
damage, treat as only Good quality weapon.
Rolls to Build: Scrounging +2, Armoury/TL7(Hand Weapons) +4
Tools: Hammer, anvil and sharpening wheel.
Limited Production: 5 hours
Steel Mace: Lethal melee weapon, this mace has been made out of a
steel tube and choice bits of tool steel pieces for flanges. It is very durable
and not too difficult to make with the right tools. Weapon is effectively of
Very Fine quality.
Rolls to Build: Scrounging -2, Armoury/TL7(Hand Weapons) +0
Tools: Portable Armoury Toolkit
Limited Production: 5 hours
Super-Sledgehammer: This ultra-tech melee weapon is manufactured by
the Brotherhood of Steel. It uses a kinetic energy storage device to
increase the impact of blows, and the all metal construction makes it an
extremely durable weapon of effectively super-fine quality.
Super-Sledgehammer is powerful enough to cause some impact damage
even if targets body armor stops the blow - In the case of a blow stopped
by DR, divide super-sledges damage by target locations hit points and
round up - The resulting number is hit points of 'impact' damage suffered
by the target location (for the purposes of impact damage, head counts as
having only half of the total hit points).
Against non-rigid armors, super-sledge also causes blunt-trauma damage
in addition to the impact damage.
Durability: DR 70, HP 10
Cattle Prod: Since this weapon is designed to knock a cow unconscious,
imagine what it can do to a human. The cattle prod looks a little like an
overgrown tuning fork, except that an arc of electricity passes between the
prongs on the end whenever the user presses the button.
Super Cattle Prod: An upgraded cattle prod. Any biological critter hit with
this tool has a 75% chance of being knocked unconscious. The Super
Cattle Prod requires two hands to use.
Ripper: Bastard offspring of a shortsword and an electric chainsaw, the
Ripper cuts through meat and bone like a hot knife through butter. Powered
by a single small enery cell, the weapon has an operating endurance of
about 25 minutes before needing a recharge/replacement cell.
The Chain consists of linked superalloy teeth, which are a lot tougher than
steel and thus the chain does not break as easily as that of an ordinary
chainsaw - the weapon is effectively of very fine quality.
Durability: DR 30, HP 6
Survival Knife: A large knife with built-in survival accessories. Allows for
survival rolls at no penalty and includes compass, small saw, fishing lines
with hooks and a small whetstone on the scabbard for sharpening the
knife. Fine quality combat blade is at +1 to damage.
