There's also miscellaneous shit, if you have the adept Missile Mastery power.  It's a base Accuracy of 3 for random junk, so Enhanced Accuracy would be of assistance. 
Would you want to go into a place where the resident had a drum-fed shotgun and can see in the dark?

A Qi Focus is tied to an adept power when it's made. Whenever you activate it, you get access to the power. So, for example, if I take a Force 4 Qi Focus (Improved Ability: Pistols), when I activate it, it is like having the Improved Ability: Pistols power at rank 2.

Do you really have to ask this question in this way?  Couldn't you have left out the bile and swearing?

A bit harsh in the terms there, revolver.

They let you have adept powers over and above what you're granted at character creation? You just pay Karma and Nuyen for it instead of getting it for free. Or for 5 a pop with a mystic adept, I suppose.

Of course using foci comes with other problems, like addiction and what happens to it it some guy with a knife cuts it up while you're using it.
