Weapons and Armor from the HOE book that is anything other than leather, or cloth has a cost multiplication factor of 2.5.

Modern Ammo has a cost multiple of 3 unless made by Junker.  Junker ammo bought can be bought at standard cost but has a stability of 16.  Stability can be increased by 2 by multiplying cost (x2 18, x3 20).

Black Powder variants of the ammo can be bought at standard price (max AP 2) but give automatic weapons a stability of 20 - ROF/3 (so ROF 6 weapon has stability of 18). Modern weapons using black powder lose 5 from their range increment.

Smokeless Powder (using primitive gun cotton) can be purchased in large cities at with a 1.5 multiple.

People have begun manufacturing their own weapons that can use black powder cartridges.

2d6  Roll Malfunction
2-5 Major Malfunction
6-10 Minor Malfunction
11-12 Catastrophic Malfunction

Minor Malfunction:
Firearm jams.  Can be cleared by spending a single action.  If weapon is a rifle the shooter receivers a burn from the hot barrel instead and takes a light wound to the hand holding it.  Any further action with that hand is at -1 until it heals.

Major Malfunction:
Weapon jams badly.  Fixing weapon requires a Fair 5 tinkerin, trade: weapon smith, or shooting/knowledge roll and 1 full round. If a rifle target number increases to 7.

Catastrophe:
The last shot jams in the barrel and causes the weapon to explode.  Shooter takes 1d6 damage per unfired round to arm.  If rifle damage is increased to 2d6.  Unless rifle is fired from the hip roll 1d6 if 1 damage is taken to head.
