Mecha!/Schtick/Close Combat Weapons

Close Combat Weapons
If you install this schtick, you have a weapon that does Damage of +3. You must decide if the weapon is detachable or not and whether it is kinetic- or energy-based. You can also select if the Weapon should have any options:
 * Internal/External
 * Progression 2
 * Extra Damage: Add a level to the Damage of the weapon. Cost 1.
 * Burnout: Lower Progression by X (1-3). Weapon works 4-X sequences.
 * Shock Damage: Progression+1. The weapon is electrified or stuns on impact. Impairment is incurred at a ratio of 1 per 5 Effect Value. This impairment wears off at a ratio of 1 point per sequence. This is not cumulative.
 * Armor Crushing: Progression+1. Weapons with this option remove 1 level of hit location Armor per hit. This may be increased at a ratio of 1 level of armor/schtick level. If hit locations are not used, raise the Progression by 9.
 * Multi-Hit: This weapon divides its damage between several hit locations. Divide the final damage, after outcome, between X(any number) of hit locations. Determine first hit location normally, then count downwards on the hit location table. Multi-Hit Armor Crushing Close Combat Weapons pay the Armor Crushing Cost for each Multi-Hit location.
 * Heavy: Progression-1. The weapon is very heavy, and suffers from the same Strength rules as Weapon Systems.
 * Range: Progression+1. Weapon can be swung up to 3 melee hex out from the mecha.
 * Throwable: 1 schtick. Can be thrown Mecha Strength Melee Hexes with the Martial Arts skill. Heavy Weapons can't be thrown.
 * Weapon System Transformation: For 1 schtick, the weapon can transform into another Close Combat weapon, or into a Weapon System if wished. Base schtick, true damage add schticks and Shock effect schticks are the only ones carried over if transformed into a Weapon System. When one of the weapons is out of rounds, all are. Ammo is calculated fractionally between weapons of the same type. Extra schticks can be added to any of the forms, but only the highest schtick cost of the weapons is applied against the Construction Limit. You can lower transformation time as per normal Transformation rules.
