So I'm putting a post it note in my copy of house of chains!

Opinions?

Ripper guns are built almost more as a club than a gun and issued en mass to the ogryn of the imperial guard. Necromunda as a major factory must have innumerable amounts of these automatic shotguns not even a Goliath can use. Some particularly astute ogryn bosses have occasionally managed to "knock some off the back of a cargo 8".

Profiles:
Ranged: short 9" +2, long 18" +1
Strength 5, AP -1, damage 2, ammo 5+
Traits: Counting is hard, rapid fire 2, plentiful

Melee: long E, no accuracy, strength +1, AP +1, damage 2 just melee for traits

Counting is hard: always treated as rolling the single hit/ ammo check on one of the ammo dice (owning players choice).

Not known for their attention to detail, ogryn rarely focus on proper gun care and reloading. Rippers are fortunately designed for this. In the hands of an intrepid ogryn boss they rarely have a full clip even with plenty of ammo around and their rugged large scale construction.

I'm totally off the cuff thinking 120 credits.
