Small Arms Volume Two for B.C.: Before Collapse

A.C.: After Collapse is a tabletop role playing game (RPG) in a post-apocalyptic setting, published by Shadow Fusion (February 11, 2019).  Small Arms Volume II is intended to be a source book for this game system.  Small Arms Vol. II defines and describes high-tech caseless ballistic ammunition and the types of firearms that use them.

Real World Fact: "Caseless" firearms ammunition is expected to replace metal cartridge ammunition by the mid to late 21st Century.  For more specific information about cartridge guns and ammo as they appear in A.C.: After Collapse, see the source book Small Arms Volume I  .

During development and testing, a decision was made to seperate metal cartridge firearms from the more advanced caseless variants.  We recognized that some referees would prefer to play scenarios and campaigns without these more advanced weapons (i.e., to play "retro").

Unlike metal cartridge firearms, caseless guns and the powerful ammo they use must be fabricated (i.e., reproduced by computer controlled fabrication systems).  That distinction may be important to referees who like to allow crafting with some limits.  When players are allowed to create Characters who have Basic/Advanced Skills that would allow them to design and "make" (i.e., fabricate) caseless firearms, they would be able to radically change the game environment they live in.
