All weapons listed in the BlackHammer Project and associated sites are listed with a caliber instead of a straight damage rating. This is because weapons firing the same munitions will generally do the same damage, and these damages can be found in various CyberPunk supplements. (I know this is a vast generalization, and that weapon muzzle velocities are modified by barrel length, bullet weight and powder charge, but I'm not willing to go into that much detail, and therefore these generalizations apply).
The primary reason the damages were not listed originally is because I don't use the same damages for certain munitions in my games as they list in the official products. Since this would cause a conflict when they were posted, I just posted the caliber of the munitions fired instead.
This has managed to cause a bunch of email to be sent my way regarding the damages of my weapons, so I've finally surrendered and am posting here a listing of ammunition calibers, their damages in both CYBERPUNK:2020 and in the BlackHammer Project as well as the cost of a box of 50 rounds of this ammo in the BlackHammer Project game. Boxes of 20 rounds can be purchased for half this list price. Any complaints about the following table can be kindly emailed to HellenWaite@hell.com
