The Stouker Concussion Rifle
One of my favourite weapons, and one I hope shows up in dangerous covenants
Going to guess:
Damage 6, range:medium, crit 5. Cumbersome 3, blast, knockdown. hardpoints 2
Edited by That Blasted SamophlangeI'd give it two settings. One that acts like a carbine and one that has limited Ammo Blast 8.
I am not familiar with this weapon, but it sounds like it does stun damage when in blast mode and wound damage when in the other single shot mode, just from reading. Not only that but it seems limited in range (30m would really only leave it effective in short range). And a large weapon. It is almost like two weapons.
Stouker Cuncussion Rifle Skill: Ranged (Heavy), Dam 10, Crit: --, Range: Short, Encum: 6, HP: 3, Price: ?, Rarety: 8, Special: Blast 10, Disorient 2, Knockdown, Stun Damage, Wound Setting (No Blast, Disorient or Stun Damage qualities, Crit: 3).

Artifacts of different sources all trying to fit the gun to their specific needs and mechanics. The two settings were part of the video games so the player wouldn't blow himself up, and the idiotic short range and stun setting I have no idea,in the entire game series it never had either, and wookieepedia doesn't cite where those numbers came from.
Giving the weapon medium range and the blast quality would fit the bill fine (the blast activation option would cover the secondary mode). If you want the stun setting then again the normal stun setting rules would work, though I personally don't think stun is needed or appropriate.
Its a nifty weapon, but no sense killing yourself on special rules just to get it into the game.
