Oh no!! You found one of 11 eternal riddles of SR...


I call it the "snowflake" gun, accept it as written and move on...  (meaning you can use both)

[Michael Chandra]

You couldn't in SR4, even though you could install both in guns with internal modifications. In SR5 there is no rule (yet?) forbidding the two being combined. With recoil now accumulating, the combination also isn't as overpowered as it was before.

Can you please point me at said rule in SRA? There may be rule that forbids the instalation of both modifications, well I dontr recall where I have seen that you cannot use those mods both if they are installed in the weapon (Like that ISX)

[Michael Chandra]

It wasn't in SR4a, which also did not forbid installing one when the other came as existing modification that thus did not take up the barrel mount. The restriction was in Arsenal, noting that weapons can be equipped with both a suppressor and a gas-vent, but if the gas-vent was on the suppressor did not give its benefits. Which is why it's possible the rule will get reintroduced with Run&Gun. However, given accumulating recoil, I'm not sure if they will.

[Sichr]

Well I went through Arsenal and still didnt find anything like that...

EDIT: Found that: p.152

[KarmaInferno]

I for one see the lack of restriction in SR5 as an oversight on the part of the writers rather than an intentional alteration of the way things were before.

Given how it wasn't in SR4 Core either, it could be anything, a mistake, deliberate temporarily or deliberate permanently.

True, that might be a reason for it.  I would have liked a more definite answer though to this.  Is there nobody else you could ask in regards to this that might know?

[Sichr]

Nope.

[Michael Chandra]

Anyone who knows will be under NDA regarding Run&Gun.

Alright, fair enough.  Now we return you to our regular programming of wild speculation.

I take it the RC on the Panther is another one?

Does anyone have a clue when Run and Gun will be? Or Run Faster for that matter?

[Michael Chandra]

Not the foggiest. However, given the random info here and there, I'm personally guessing that Run&Gun is quite far in the Editing process. Run Faster, on the other hand, I really suspect will be half a year if they make it the next priority, or more than a year if Rigger V gets the priority I personally think it should.

You want SR 6 to come out already?!?

[Michael Chandra]

Yeah. But in all seriousness, with Rigger V all I need to switch to SR5 is some way of dealing with a single green dwarf metavariant character.
