Weapons

Mere possession of a weapon sets a wastelander apart from most of the pack. Having possession of a working firearm is even more, and having working ammo makes you the king.

Most weapons encountered in the wasteland are melee weapons, if the person is armed at all. Pre-collapse guns are fairly common, but often in a poor state of repair (Malf. 16 or lower) and have little to no ammo available. While producing black powder isn't difficult, producing chemical primers for cartridges is only possible with professional chemistry equipment owned by a small number of major communities, most prominently The Bullet Farm. Virtually all ammo that doesn't come from there is pre-collapse and of dubious preservation (decrease Malf. by 1 when using old ammo).

Because of the lack of quality ammunition (or any ammunition at all), pre-industrial firearms using flintlock or matchlock firing systems are more common, even just dipping a flame into a touchhole to detonate black powder behind a rock. The most common projectile weapons are simple muscle-powered ones, such as bows and crossbows, and air guns firing steel ball bearings, rocks, or harpoons.
