Weapon Damage types

By nicegirl13, in Dark Heresy Rules Questions

Hello everyone

I have been looking in the core rule book for the types of damage symbols means and cant seem to fint a list, the ones i am searching for is:

E

I

X

R

what do they exactly stand for?

and on page 130 and 131 there are 2 tables called:

Table 5-7: ranged Weapons and Table 5-7: ranged weapons (cont)

What does (cont) stand for? continue?

Edited by nicegirl13

E nergy (e.g. lasers, flamethrowers), I mpact (e.g. clubs, stub revolvers), Ex plosive (e.g. grenades, bolters), R ending (e.g. chainswords, claws)

If I remember correctly, the weapon properties should be explained at the beginning of the weapons/equipment chapter. They can have different effects, which you'll see when looking at the Critical Injury tables.

Table 5-7 cont on Page 131 means indeed that it is a cont inuation of Table 5-7 on page 130. They're meant to be read as one, but as they are on different pages, the "cont" has been added to clarify the connection.

what do they exactly stand for?

What Lynata said. Check p.127 & 201-209.

What does (cont) stand for? continue?

To be exact, it's a widely used abbreviation of 'continued'.

Thanks alot for the fast answers!
