sparks to ignite the priming powder. This is the forerunner of the flintlock mechanism.
Wheellock: A method of firing a gun that uses a friction wheel to cause a
spark and provide ignition to the powder. This mechanism was developed after the
matchlock and preceded the snaphance.
Arsenal Card Layout
Each Arsenal Card follows a similar design. The front of the card features a
picture of the weapon, while the back of the card details the facts about the weapon.
Sa

Model: The weapon’s name, or how it was usually referred to by its users. Manufacturer: Either the maker of the weapon, or the country of origin of the
weapon.
DOM: Dates of Manufacture. The years (or approximate years) that production
started and ended for the weapon. The DOM is given as a range. If only one year is
given, then the weapon was only manufactured in one year. “Present” means the
weapon is still being manufactured.
Caliber: The primary or most common caliber is listed, though many weapons are
manufactured to fire different calibers. An image of a typical cartridge or bullet for the
gun is provided.
Muzzle Velocity: The minimum speed of the projectile, given in feet per second
(fps), as it leaves the barrel. Muzzle velocity can be increased by the quantity and
quality of the powder used to fire the projectile.
Max PBR: This is the maximum point blank range for the weapon given in yards.
The handguns featured in Arsenal Cards had their MPBR calculated using the online
calculator at shooterscalculator.com. All calculations used 0.8 in. as the sight height,
G1 as the drag function, a ballistic coefficient of 0.5, and a target size of 1 in. Altering
these variables in the calculation will alter the maximum point blank range for the
weapon. This value is provided to give players and GMs the opportunity to set a range
factor for the weapon. A weapon fired at a target within the MPBR would have no
penalty for range. At the GM’s discretion we recommend a cumulative -1 penalty to hit
for each additional range increment beyond the first.
Rounds: The number of bullets carried in the weapon or magazine. This number
does not include any rounds “in the chamber” for semi-automatic weapons, only those

carried in the magazine.
Action: The type of action used to fire the weapon, such as single-action or
double-action, level action, or blowback.
Type: This is the kind of weapon or firing mechanism, such as wheellock,
flintlock, revolver, or pistol. A silhouette of the weapon type is in the upper right
corner.
Weight: The weight of the weapon given in ounces.
Barrel Length: The length of the weapon’s barrel, in inches.
Power: The relative strength of the weapon. See the table below for a breakdown
of the power levels. Most game systems do not make a differentiation for the damage
dealt by different handguns. The table provides bonuses and penalties that can be
used in your game to adjust the damage of the weapon.

Recoil: This is the backward momentum of a gun when it is fired. The table
below shows the breakdown of recoil for weapons. Most game systems do not account
for recoil in a weapon. The table shows bonuses and penalties that can be used to
adjust a character’s to hit for a weapon when firing multiple rounds in the same
attack. Recoil is only applicable for weapons that carry 2 or more rounds.

penalties to hide the weapon on the person of a character.

Printing:
file
Arsenal Cards are designed to be printed on business cards. We recommend
a two-side printable business card such as Avery® product number 8877. (We
encourage you to print a sample page on plain paper first to make sure the artwork
will align with the business cards.) Alternatively you can print the cards on regular
card stock and cut the the cards out. Print the images of the weapons on the front of
the card, then turn the cards (or card stock) over and print the weapon information on
the back of the card.

The information and images for this book came from many sources. We tried to
make sure the information presented in Arsenal Cards is as accurate as possible.
In some cases specific information such as the gun’s weight, years of manufacture,
muzzle velocity, etc. had to be estimated. We made the best estimate we could based
on similar weapons.
Images of weapons were taken from open source material whenever possible.
