Hellgun ammo?

By Turpin, in Dark Heresy

yeah, I desided to start using a Hellgun, The Inquisitor's Handbook says that they have a powerpack w/ a back-pack and belt feeder, but i have no idea where to find the cost of the power packs. Is it just Las clips? or am I just oblivious. Please tell me which book/ page # if you would be oh so kind.

I think the popular interpretation is all las guns use standard clips or backpack capacitors in special cases. The clip size is just how many shots that gun gets out of a standard clip. Prices are in the core book.

Oh alright, thank you.

Not quite, to quote Inquisitor's Handbook p. 172 on the subject of Hellpistols and Hellguns:

Hellguns are far more energy-hungry than standard las weapons and fed from power capacitor backpack units. They may use standard las weapon charge packs, but consume four charges per shot

But I've been unable to find a cost for the backpack units as well. Beacause they use four charges per shot with a standard charge pack, maybe just make the backpack unit four times as expensive as the apropriate charge pack?

Backpack capacitor are in the gear section, think same chapter. No weight is given for them though.

I was talking about a general rule, hellguns being specific about it. Use amount in text if using a clip and amount from table if using capacitor.

Strange, I can't find them in the gear section... of any chapter. If you're serious, then I must have some sort of blind spot here... I'm going just slightly insane here trying to find it...

There is no such rules of a Back-pack capacitator.

My bad, weapons upgrade not gear. IH 179, I'm using reprint if it matters.

Hmm, not in my book, all i see is Bipods and Tripods. Maybe you could be so kinda and post the cost and rules for them?

Cost 50/full clip

I assume you have the old softcover, how many pages it have?

253 numbered pages in mine, how many am I missing out on?

I have 255, including the weapons index.

Introduction starts on p5.

253 weapon index included... ok, good, insanity subsiding, thanks.

There doesn't happen to be a list or something describing the additions in those 2 pages somewhere, would there?

Not that I can tell, but the Introduction is 2 pages and goes over old details for weapon. Definitions for various parts of the weapon tables (Pen, RoF,etc...).

Well that seems to be the same then, oh well, it's probably nothing critical, thanks for the info.

Good idea. Never compared much from the IH part of the errata with the book, thanks again =)
