So I've been shuffling through the Run&Gun book, but nowhere can I find  if they updated the old weapons for the modification rules. Specifically, the AK-98 with the underbarrel grenade launcher from vanilla. By Run&Gun rules it's "underbarrel" slot is still open. Or am I missing something (Apart from the obvious A-Sensible-GM-Will-Houserule argument)?

If I'm not missing something, I'm gonna have a lot of fun with my Assault Rifle with an underbarrel grenade launcher AND an underbarrel flamethrower. :D

Yeah it's not clear but if you think your GM will slap it down (which he should) then don't even try it!

As far as I can tell, the only item in the game with two under barrel items is the HK XM30.  By default, this bad boy has the under barrel shotgun and under barrel grenade launcher.  At first I assumed that these were interchangeable accessories, but when I looked at the picture of the gun, it in fact does have two under barrel weapons and independent triggers.

I'd let common sense rule.  A foregrip under your underbarrel grenade launcher?  Fine.  A flamethrower?  No so much.

And the side-mounted gauss cannon.

Smart runners keep the gauss ammo in their hold-out.

What exactly are the stats on the Under-barrel Grenade Launcher accessory?

Based off existing under barrel launchers, I'm assuming it's a 6 clip, accuracy 4, SS weapon, but not all match that.

While we are at it, what is the accuracy of the under barrel bola launcher?

I'm just using the same stats from the Alpha's underbarrel.  I was really hoping we'd get the underbarrel modification from Arsenal so I could tack on a MGL-12 for semi-auto fun.  Alas.

That HK is looking better and better.  10 rounds for the shotgun, 6 rounds for the grenade launcher.  I was expecting 2 rounds for the shotgun and 1 for the grenade launcher.

I really wish they would have included an under barrel shotgun as a separate accessory.  Alas, it wasn't to be.

Hmm - I was under the impression that, as the gun was modular, what you were getting were two modules that you could swap in, not that the weapon had both of them on at the same time

I cant even see a second trigger, let alone 2 more triggers, nor can I see a second under barrel - This is the picture on page 37 right?

The first trigger is sitting out in the middle of the finger area. The second trigger is to the right, right up against the grip.

And while I don't see a third trigger, I do see what looks like a third barrel. It's possible the trigger for the underbarrel accessories operates both and you have to switch between them.
