Gun Mounts and Accessories

Corner-Shot (Scope and Stock accessory)
The Corner-Shot allows for a bendable rifle (or assault rifle, etc) with fiber-optics or electrical targeting systems so that the user can stand by a corner and aim at targets on the other side of the corner without revealing himself.

This provides a +1 to the TN modifier to fire, and requires a simple action to aim up the shot (meaning it takes 2 simple actions each round to fire), but allows the attacker full cover. While many companies and armies utilize corner-shot, the ability to quickly peek out and fire twice makes it not all-encompasing.

Remote Lock (trigger accessory)
Basically a safety switch that can be turned on or off remotely. While this has little practical use on the gun itself, it has been effective during training and safety classes to ensure no accidents happen. The operator uses a remote control (or even cyberware remotes) to enable or disable guns. This has proven effective in small security patrols where building maintenance can disable guns to prevent them from being stolen from security officers. While more specific models already exist, it might be helpful for shadowrunning teams when one PC has a very itchy trigger finger, to prevent him from going gun-wild.

More to Come
