Club Weapon Question

[Irontom]

I assume that the damage for Club Weapon maneuver would be reduced for high powered firearms?

My assumption is that a buttstroke from an M-1 (2d6+1) doesn't do 7d6 of Normal damage...

Should I use the value for a regular club (4d6) instead?

Per the description in H5E, Club Weapon may not work with all weapons. It's meant primarily for muscle-powered melee killing weapons like swords and axes. Whether it works with other weapons is up to the GM.

I wouldn't allow the specific Club Weapon maneuver with a firearm. If someone wanted to hit a target in melee with a firearm, I'd just give them a small amount of bonus dice of normal damage (2d6-4d6, depending on size/weight of the firearm) for wielding a metal object. I wouldn't translate the killing damage of the firearm in any way.
