If you can put a flame thrower on your flame thrower, I don't see why you couldn't have a saw on your launcher. Rock n roll mother fraggers

Yeah, go for it.  And while you're at it, why not set up your grenade launcher to fire monofilament boom bolas?

Oooh, long range slice and dice! Love that idea, Namikaze!
Spooky, what do you do this pass? Shoot him with my thunderstruck gauss rifle. (Rolls)  8 hits. Does that blow his head off?

If you're in a game in which this seems like a good idea and the GM says no, you have the wrong GM.

Takes me back a few years to the M401.

The M400 was a heavy machine gun with a belt fed cruise missile launcher slung underneath.

M401 was for trolls only right?

Agreed. This looks like a 'training wheels' edition, that you can use to introduce someone to the setting, and then shift over to something like 5E or 4E. Like how D&D 5E is best used as training wheels for D&D 3.X.

Turned in Toxshaman for ¥1 million/4 once.

They now offer the M401A with Picatinny Rails right away from the factory...

This seems familiar. One of my fellow runners wanted to mount one on a drone (as an underbarrel weapon. It might have been an Ares Alpha with grenade launcher).

We looked it up, for a weapon without a grenade launcher I think, and it's listed as a valid underbarrel weapon, so yes. I'd still apply the highest of the two concealability modifiers, by the way, and I imagine a GM may decide a Roto-Drone has to roll maneuver tests when using it due to the shifted balance.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!
