ACME Weapons: Weaponsmith services
----------------------------------

       ACME Weapons maintains a full-time weaponsmith to provide the public
  with various conversions, modifications, and upgrades to existing weapons.
  The range of our services are outlined below:


ACCURIZE (10% or 20%)

       Accurizing a weapon is simply the process of improving a weapon's
  accuracy. We are capable of improving accuracy by 10% or 20%, depending
  on your requirements.

       Your accuracy will be improved whenever you use the accurized weapon,
  and only when you use the accurized weapon. For example, if you had an
  "accurized neutron rifle" and a standard "neutron sabre", then your
  accuracy when you shoot the neutron rifle would be 10% greater, but your
  accuracy while using the neutron savre would remain unchanged.

       Accurizing can be performed only once. If a weapon is accurized to
  10%, it cannot then be re-accurized to 20%.

       Accurizing can be performed on both long range and short range
  weapons.


INTENSIFY (10% or 20%)

       Intensification is the process of improving the damage that a weapon
  inflicts. We are capable of improving this damage by 10% or 20%, depending
  on your requirements.

       As with accurizing, intensifying is in effect whenever you use the
  intensified weapon, and only when you use that weapon.

       Intensifying can be performed only once to a weapon. A weapon cannot
  be re-intensified to a greater level.

       Intensifying can be performed on both long range and short range
  weapons.


UNI-AMMO CONVERSION

       Uni-Ammo conversion is a special service we offer for energy weapons.
  You have probably experienced frustrating situations when you lacked the
  required type of ammunition for a weapon, but had a surplus of another
  incompatible type on hand.

       Uni-Ammo will fix this problem. With a Uni-Ammo conversion package
  installed, your energy weapon will be able to use any type of energy
  ammunition that you may have, automatically.

       The Uni-Ammo conversion works only with ENERGY WEAPONS and ENERGY
  AMMO. For example, see the below tables:

       COMPATIBLE WITH                 INCOMPATIBLE WITH

       Electroblade                    Knife
       Electrosword                    Dagger
       Electrolance                    Sword
       Neutron Sabre                   Razorlance
       All Phasers                     Crossbow
       Comp Blaster                    Clip Pistol
       Grav Blast                      Uzi SMG
       Plasma Blast
       Neutron Rifle

       Power Pack                      Crossbow bolts
       Power Belt                      9mm ammo
       Grav Pack
       Plasma Pack
       Neutron Pack

       The above tables are not an exhaustive list; There are many other
  weapons and ammo that the Uni-Ammo conversion may be used with. Please see
  our weaponsmith for more information.

       NOTE: A weapon with a more advanced ammunition type may require
  more charges from a more primitive weapon type. For example, a Uni-Ammo
  Neutron Blaster would require the following ammunition for one shot:

       Power Pack or Power Belt: 5 units
       Grav Pack...............: 3 units
       Plasma Pack.............: 2 units
       WidowPack...............: 2 units
       Neutron Pack............: 1 unit

       Ammunition packs with fewer than the required number of units are
  thus unusable (i.e. in the above example, a Power Pack/4 or a Grav Pack/2
  would be useless)

       Using the CSTATS ROM with the "/uniammo" switch will display the
  ammunition requirements for any weapons with Uni-Ammo conversions.

       Uni-Ammo conversions may be performed on both long range and short
  range weapons.


THREE ROUND BURST CONVERSION

       Our three round burst conversion allows your long range weapon to
  fire three shots in rapid succession. By firing three shots instead of one,
  your potential for damage is much greater.

       Due to weapon vibration, the accuracy of your weapon will degrade
  as each of the three shots is fired:

       First shot...: 100% Accuracy
       Second shot..: 80%  Accuracy
       Third shot...: 60%  Accuracy

       Even with the reduced accuracy on the second and third shots, the
  shots are still capable of doing full damage if they hit.

       Conversions may only be performed on Energy Weapons such as the
  phasers, comp blaster, gravblast, etc. Conversions may not be performed
  on conventional weapons such as crossbows, clip pistols, uzis, etc.

       Three round burst conversions may only be performed on long range
  weapons.


USE OF THE CSTATS ROM

       The GS-224 Laptop (available from Sacre Base) can be equipped with
  a very useful program entitled "CSTATS". CSTATS will display a weapons
  profile for your short and long range weapons. This profile will display
  any Accurize or Intensify operations that have been performed, Uni-Ammo
  conversions, 3 round burst conversions, etc.

       The CSTATS ROM may also be used to display ammo requirements for
  Uni-Ammo weapons by using the "CSTATS /UNIAMMO" switch.

       Please see your Laptop's HELP command for more information on using
  CSTATS.
