SInce in the game you no longer have the pay 20% to size a weapon, how does that work with pixies? Can I use a sniper rifle even though it is about 3 times my size? The rules seem  not to address this. And if i can how may guns can i carry?

as many until your GM hits you with a Rulesbook ( Softcover does IIRC STR +1 Stun /Hardcover STR Physical)
let Your Common Sense guide You
( I still want to play a Pixi Cowgirl that rides an Assaultcannon with Drone Spiderlegs. I need them 4A Mod Rules !)

naaa, a sniperrifle would be over the Top. Its enough, that she rides a walking Assault Cannon
and maybe uses two Dragonflies as ...Fling Horses with reins between them...

Avoid getting smacked with something by your GM and just drop the idea of "Pixie with a Gun".

And if you really want to continue with this line of thought, regardless to the skull trauma you will recieve, I suggest doing a search of the forums for Pixie + gun.....

Dunno where HeroLab got it from, but they limit Pixie weapons to tasers, hold-outs and melee weapons with a reach of 0.  I think that's going a bit too far, as there are plenty of exotic weapons that I think they could work with.

Anyway, just another opinion.

The problem is that it was something that CLEARLY needed an errata to deal with and we have no ETA on a Run Faster errata, hell I'm not even sure I've heard anything conclusively stating it's being worked on by anyone.

I think the races section of Run Faster probably needs 2x the space rather than just errata.

I usually point to this bit in Running Wild.

Quote from: Clockwork
I hear NeoNET has also made customized armor for their pixie employees and that SK has a line of armor designed for centaurs. But no one has yet figured out how to make usable armor for naga that doesn’t impede their movement … Ditto with guns for pixies; the little buggers are too small to use conventional firearms, and miniaturized guns don’t pack enough of a punch to do much damage.

The story with the Pixie that murdered someone for fucking with the Black Forest said he probably used a Submachine Gun even though the reports were that he used an Assault Cannon.
