Ammo weight/capcity
Ammunitions weights for 10mm guns: 10mm CLP is listed as 0.014lbs which is 98 grains a modern day 10mm round has 155-200gr for the bullet alone. In addition to that there is some weight for the propellant.
A Weight Per Shot of between .025 and .03 allows for a medium {150 grain} or heavy {200 grain} bullet and believable propellant load.
7.5mm seems a bit too light also : 0.006lbs = 42 grains A Weight Per Shot of between 0.01lbs and 0.0125 is more realistic.

On page(s) p.136 The description for the Storm Chaingun mentions that it uses a 100 shot belt but can use the 30 shot magazine of the storm rifle. however, on p. 137, in the table the Storm Rifle uses a 12 shot magazine and the Storm Chaingun (on p.138) uses a 60 shot belt. One or the other is in error.

If like the other "mini" weapons, the decimal place got slipped, than weight should be 1/0.3, and shots go to 54(3). Ice Gun, 3mm ice 1/0.3 20(3) 12(3) Technically, a cup of water is 0.5, this adjusts shots to 0.3. Also note that ammo weight should b 0.8 to account for the 0.5 lbs of C cell. If you want a cup of water AND the C cell, make ammo weight 1. Needle Rifle, 3mmN 5/1 100(3) 180(3) 1 / (0.005 * 1.111) for a light box magazine Paint Carbine, 15mm 4/1 50+1(3i) 40+1(3i) 1 / (0.025 * 1) for a tube.

Note, may actually be 140 if the mini fac is in the magazine. Electromagnetic Gun Table Electromag Mortar, 64mm 50/10 4(5) 4(5) 10 / (2 * 1.2) for a light helical or light drum. Technically, ammo weight should be 15 lbs, to account for the 5 lbs of D cell. Gauss Minineedler, 3mm 0.1/0.03 25(3) 7(3) 0.03 / (0.004 * 1.111) for a light box magazine. Note, suspect slipped decimal place for both gun and ammo weight, increasing shots to 56(3), and weight to 1/0.3, accounting for 0.05 lbs of B cell (which alone is heavier than the 0.03 original weight!). Gauss Pistol, 4mm 2/0.5 40(3) 60(3) 0.5 - 0.1 / (0.006 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and 2 B cells (NOT a C cell!, so the Notes column has Errata too, is should be a [2] not a [3]) Gauss Machine Pistol, 4mm 3/0.5 40(3) 60(3) 0.5 - 0.1 / (0.006 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and 2 B cells. Gauss Needler, 3mm 1.5/0.5 100(3) 101(3) 0.5 - 0.05 / (0.004 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and 1 B cell (Notes column errata: should be a [1] not a [2]) Gauss PDW, 4mm 4.6/1 80(3) 75(3) 1 -0.5 / (0.006 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell Sniper Railgun, 7mm 20/1.4 30(3) 52(3) 1.4 / (0.024 * 1.111) for a light box magazine. Technically, ammo weight should be 6.4 to include the D cell. Gauss Needle Rifle, 3mm 6/1 100(3) 112(3) 1 - 0.5 / (0.004 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell. Gauss Rifle, 4mm 8.5/1.4 60(3) 135(3) 1.4 - 0.5 / (0.006 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell. Portable Railgun, 10mmG 20/1.5 25(3) 11(3) 1.5 - 0.5 / (0.08 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell. Wouldnt surprise me if this was meant to be powered by a D cell, like the sniper rifle. Weight is then 20/5.5, shots are then 17(3). Gauss CAW, 18.5mm 10/1.5 30(3) 24(3) 1.5 - 0.5 / (0.037 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell. Gauss Shotgun Pistol, 18.5mm 3/0.5 10(3) 12(3) 0.5 / (0.037 * 1.111) for a light box magazine. Technically ammo weight should be 1 lbs to include a C cell. EMGL, 40mmG 10/3 3(5) 6(5) 3 - 0.5 / (0.33 *1.2) for a plastic helical/drum and a C cell. Underbarrel EMGL, 25mmG 2/1 3(3) 5(3) 1 - 0.5 / (0.09 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell. Gauss LSW, 4mm 20/7 300(5) 902(5) 7 - 0.5 / (0.006 *1.2) for a plastic drum and a C Cell. OR set shots to 277(5) for a plastic drum and a D cell. Errata notes column, should be a [4] not a [3] if that is done. Also ROF should be 50, not 20, to match descriptions 3,000 rounds per minute. Auto EMGL, 40mmG 64/10 20(5) 15(5) 10 - 5 / (0.33 * 1) for a belt feed and a D cell. Railgun, 40mm 4,000/150p 200(5) 25(5) 150 / (6 * 1) for a belt and external power. Gauss HMG, 7mm 64/20 200(5) 520(5) 20 - 5 / (0.024* 1.2) for a plastic helical/drum and a D cell. Note: The description of the gun is either in error (there is no 4,000 round cassette) or the weight for the ammo needs to change: 155lbs for 4,000 rounds in a plastic drum and 8 D cells to power it. Gauss Minigun, 4mm 64/20 1000(5) 2083(5) 20 - 5 / (0.006 *1.2) for a plastic drum and a D cell. Note: Gun and ammo weight are probably copy/paste errors from the HMG, this one should be sent to Dave for double checking. Also ROF should be 166, not 100, to match the descriptive text saying it can fire 10,000 rounds per minute. Grav Guns Grav Minineedler 0.1/0.03 100(3) 27(3) 0.03 / (0.001 * 1.111) for a light box magazine, however, like the Gauss Minineedler, I suspect a decimal place was slipped for both gun and ammo weight, making shots 180(3) for a light box magazine and 2 B Cells. Grav Needler 1.5/0.5 500(3) 405(3) 0.5 - 0.05 / (0.001 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a B cell. The description pretty much has to be in error, as a C cell alone weighs 0.5lbs. Grav Needle Rifle 6/1 1000(3) 450(3) 1 - 0.5 / (0.001 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell. Sniper Grav Gun 10/1 1000(3) 450(3) 1 - 0.5 / (0.001 * 1.111) for a light box magazine and a C cell. If it really is supposed to be 2 C cells (which weigh 1 lbs by themselves) ammo weight needs to change to 1.5. Shots stay at 450(3). Heavy Grav Needler 20/4 4000(5) 3,600(5) 4 / (0.001 * 1.111) for a plastic drum. Ammo weight needs to change to 9 to add in the weight of a D cell. Gravitic Railgun 1000/10Fp 2000(5) 33(5) 10 / (0.3 * 1 ) for a belt and external power. Ammo weight for 2000 shots on a belt is 600lbs. Gyroc Launchers Gyroc Carbine, 15mm 4/1 10(3) 9(3) 1 / (0.1 * 1.111) for a light box magazine. Gyroc Launch Pistol, 15mm 2/0.7 6(3) 6(3) 1 / (0.1 * 1.111) for a light box magazine. Gyroc LSW, 15mm 12/3 30(5) 25(5) 3 - 0.05 / (0.1 *1.2) for a plastic helical drum and a B cell. Gyroc Pistol, 15mm 1/0.4 4(3i) 4(3i) 0.4 / 0.1 * 1 for revolver. Holdout Gyroc, 15mm 0.25/0.1 1(3i) 1(3i) 0.1 / 0.1 * 1 for breach loader. Underbarrel Gyroc, 15mm 1.5/0.7 6(3) 6(3)
The surveillance worm (p105)
It is listed as 2“ by .1” and 2 lbs. This is way too heavy for its intended purpose and nonsensically dense. Based on the Size Modifier rules, there are three possible resolutions:
- The worm is 2' by 0.1'. The notation meant feet, not inches. (A Nigel Tufnel typo…).
- The worm's dimensions are correct, but the weight should be 0.002 lbs (or neg.), not 2 lbs. This is consistent with the SM table.
- The worm's dimensions are correct, but the weight should be .01 lbs, not 2 lbs. This is consistent with the similarly-sized robobug later in the chapter.
