*Shield Penetrator - These rounds cost 8 times as much as standard ammunition, but ignore energy-based shields. They're jacketed with a special EMF-dampening substance that temporarily creates pockets ...

so I don't think it should gain a +3D advantage against unarmored targets.
That's not quite what I said. My point was that the round should suffer the -1D penalty to Damage vs. Armor, but that is in ...

I felt the ffg stuff to be both hit and miss (from my perspective).

Things I did like;
Nice layout, design, art, information etc. Some sections could be better - but overall, well done.

Finally got around to finding out the unique trait for Slugthrowers. They're apparently pretty good jedi-slayers.

Also, if anyone can confirm if this is the case, are slugthrowers able to pierce en ...

This is where advanced manufacturing techniques would come into play, such as lining the cavity in some non-metal material that kept the mercury from amalgamating with the metal of the bullet.

Yea, ...

Well I already have Armor Piercing, but that could work as a sort of "poison" round, since Mercury is a highly toxic metal.
This exact method was used/described in Frederick Forsythe's Day ...

I have not checked, specifically, but have you checked the other d6 games, especially Adventure, to see if there's ammo rules in them?

I only really recall specific ammo types coming into play when ...

BLASTERS
My take on the different packs would be to have the differences be associated with the type / specific mix of Blaster Gas used to achieve different effects. That way you can use standard pow ...

Applying Dark Side points to characters who use them indiscriminately in public or non-Imperial spaces
