STR Min for weapons

[flynn]

I have a couple of questions about the weapon tables in the main rule book.

 

Are the modifiers under "Notes" already taken into account for the STR Min of a weapon? For example, the M16A1 has a STR Min of 12 and has AF5 listed in its Notes. So is the STR Min for the M16 on autofire a 12 or do you add 5 because of the autofire and get a 17?

 

Also are submachine guns and assault rifles considered to be one-handed? Just wondering since rifles and shotguns are list as being two-handed and asault rifles and submachine guns do not have a hands requirement listed.

1. The STR Mins do not take the modifiers into account.

 

2. See the "Errata" page.
