Can your favorite RPG system stat this?

At 50 pounds this is not a practical weapon, but it might be cool to see if your favorite rpg system has rules that would allow you to simulate it.

Most game systems can do this. Just call it "giant gun".

The real question is whether your favorite game system can simulate rescuing a primary school band from intergalactic terrorists and evil plants, for high TV ratings:

Corley, I made the mistake of forgetting why I had you in my twit filter and took you out of it just to see a reply you'd made.

I now remember why I put you in my twit filter and now return you to it posthaste.

Enjoy the trip.

I don't get it, you're mad that your question has a simple, straightforward answer that I helpfully gave?

Or are you a fan of Tasty Cookin', which was pre-empted for Ulala's Swingin' Report Show?

I like TWIT. Reminds me of Screen Savers. Good show.

It could, but frankly I doubt anyone ever would.

EABA 1 stats:


Middle atomic age.
size: 48 millihexes.
Weight loaded: 24.2 kg.
Ammo: 1.
Shoulder/bipod fired
Reduced range x2
Takes several actions to reload.
Damage: 7d+2 lethal.
Accuracy: 3
Ammo weight: .2kg/round
Armor 2d+0
Hits: 6
Minimum strength to fire without taking damage: 3d+2 if fired from a bipod/shoulder. (Most people have more like 2d+2 strength, so most people firing this even from a bipod mount would need a shoulderpad equal to 1d+0 armor to avoid taking damage even when using a bipod/shoulder. Even so many people would take some non lethal hits from firing this even from a bipod mount.)

Damage/range

7d+2 / 0-499m (Damage 1 point below 30mm cannon.)
6d+2 / 500-699m
5d+2 / 700-999m
4d+2 / 1000-1399m (Damage equal to a 30.06 rifle at close range)
3d+2 / 1400-1999m (Damage equal to a .30 carbine at close range)
2d+2 / 2000-2799m (Damage equal to a close range .357 magnum pistol.)
1d+2 / 2800-3999m
0d+2 / 4000-5599m
0d+0 / 5600m+

It's true that this weapon can hit with some lethal damage at just under 5600m or nearly 4 miles. Considering that a .338 magnum caliber rifle has scored several fatal shots at a distance of 2475 meters (1.54 miles), this is not unreasonable in reality. Also 0d+2 points damage even to the head are not too likely to be fatal, so one can say the weapon's maximum lethal range is 3999m (~2.3 miles)where a headshot can be lethal if it does 1d+2.
