I have lately had my first games of dirtside II and loved it, and am keen to play a hammers slammers force.
Obviously the slammers main weapon is the tri-barrel and 20cm powergun but the rules do not do powerguns justice.
The tri-barrel i was thinking of using as an APSW, the 20cm powergun would be close to a DFFG but two problems with this,
1. Powerguns have massive range, the DFFG has a short range (use HEL range bands)
2. The DFFG looses damage over range which powerguns do not.

Has anyone come up with their own powergun rules?

Jon Tuffley had some published in the SFSFW journal at one stage – sfsfw.org/a/30/slam.php is the article in question.

Jon and I are working (slowly) on a new set of rules.

I have a great interest in Slammers perspectives (for obvious reasons!)
