 '''Weapon Size'''
-The vast majority of weapons will come in one of three sizes: small, medium, and large. Small weapons are of pocket/coat concealability, medium weapons have trench coat concealability, and large weapons are not concealable. Large weapons also require two hands to wield.

 '''Raw Explosives'''
 Creation of Raw Explosives is a Mentals(Craft (Weapon)) test at Difficulty 3. Raw Explosives have a Radius of 2 Steps, do 3 Bashing damage, Size Medium, and have the Unstable Tag. Explosives always go off at the end of a round. Defusing a bomb is Security challenge equal to one difficulty less than crafting the bomb. You may also make a detonator which is crafted with another Mentals(Craft(Weapon)) challenge at Difficulty 3 which gives the Explosive a set Mentals(Security) challenge at Difficulty 5 to defuse. Raw Explosives can be thrown but you must first throw a simple chop and if you lose, the Raw Explosives don't go off and are lost. There is no effect to making several explosives detonate over an area. Raw Explosives can be only be crafted with Influence (Underworld 2, Construction 2, Industry 2, or Emergency Services 2) and Resources 2.

 '''Grenades'''
 Grenades always explode in the Explosives tick of the ROUND AFTER they have been thrown, and at the very end of initiative. If you wish the Grenade to detonate on the same round in which its thrown, it is a Mentals(Athletics) vs. Difficulty 6. Failure in this challenge causes the grenade to explode in the your hand. If a target is in the radius of multiple Explosives, they only take the damage from the highest damaging one.

 '''Demolitions'''
 The typical building will be effectively demolished with 6 levels of area effect damage applied all at once. Its worth noting that buildings take half damage from all bashing. A Security check against difficulty 3 is required to perfectly shape a charge in such a way as to cause it to do full damage to such objects. Attacks designed to target enemies do not significantly harm structures.

-Grenades always go off exactly one combat round after they have been thrown, and at the end of initiative. If you wish the grenade to be targeted on the same round in which it goes off, it is a Mentals(Athletics) vs. Difficulty 6. Failure in this challenge causes the grenade to explode in the hand of the thrower. You only get the effect of one grenade per throw.
