Special circumstances and situations call for special types of munitions. All throughout the Local Spur there are many various types of rounds available for ballistic weaponry. Some require specialized access, others may have an increased cost. But they are out there. Multiply the Base Cost and Weight by 3x for Rifle ammunition, and by 5x for Heavy ammunition.

Special: Attacks that beat Fortitude and Reflex Defense on the attack roll reduce the movement speed of the target by 3. If the attack roll beats Fortitude Defense by 10 or more, the target is frozen and can only take a standard or move action each round. The frozen effect lasts for two rounds.
- Drill rounds: Specially shaped and pressed with a machined spiral shape and flared heads, Drill rounds are designed to punch through softer construction and obstacles.
