Ammunition

Weapons with the Reload feature require ammunition. The following table lists common ammunition types across all TEC levels with their associated weapons, any applicable damage bonuses, a per-shot weight (rounded to the nearest 10g), and a per-shot value.

Damage bonuses for ammunition are applied once per attack, not per success margin.

Weapons listed here are general categories only. No attempt is made to differentiate various calibers, cartridge types, gauges, load weights, arrow length, or any other fine-grained distinctions between ammunition varieties that might impact their compatibility with specific weapons. That way lies madness.
