Master Weapons List

Concealability
If a weapon is not concealable or if you don't have the appropriate clothing you must display a card at all times with the weapon information on it. Someone with the Investigation ability who wins a Mental Challenge may notice when a charactor is carrying concealed weapons or items. Searching the carrier physically reveals hidden weapons automatically without a test in most cases.

Availability
Availability indicates how difficult a weapon can be to obtain without the appropriate legal means (permit). If a charactor attempts to obtain a weapon that is illegal or wants to obtain a weapon without a permit and without registering the weapon, they must have the appropriate level(s) of certain Influences. The Influence values listed indicate the level and type of influence required to procure the weapon through illicit channels
