This is a table of purpose-made ranged weaponry available in the game. The list may not perfectly represent the current state of the game, as the weapons may be rebalanced but the page may not be updated to reflect this for some time.

Sidearms (Ballistic)

Ballistic weapons remain a popular weapon in the 26th century, typically however Nanotrasen prefer the usage of Energy weapons over Ballistic weapons, so don't expect to see many ballistic weapons on station.

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Desert Eagle	File:Ammo 50.png .50	7 Rounds	60 Brute	Summon guns, can spawn in the secure contraband locker on metastation.	Nanotrasen	Comes in three tasteful variants. Normal, gold and camo gold. Hope for the gold gun. 7 Rounds of pure mlg; spare ammo available nowhere.

	Revolver	.357	7 Rounds	60 Brute	Syndicate Uplink and summon guns	Syndicate	Security (or generally anyone) will be quick to scream 'TRAITOR!' if they see you with one. You can get more ammo from hacked autolathes. Serve with a side of grenade to finish your foe off for good.
	Revolver	File:Ammo 38.png .38	6 Rounds	15 Brute + Knockdown	Detective's locker or summon guns.	Security	Knocks down targets, causing some minor damage. Can be modified to fire .357, but may break with the modification.
File:Stetchkin.png	Stetchkin Pistol	File:Ammo 9mm.png 10mm	8 rounds	30 Brute	Syndicate Uplink.	Syndicate	The nuke op's weapon last resort; spend telecrystals on something better. Small enough to fit in pockets. One of the few guns that takes the universal silencer.
	Russian Revolver	.357	1 round. Can load up to 6.	60 Brute 300 Brute when used on self	MetaStation	Old Russia	A Russian made revolver. Uses .357 ammo. It has a single slot in its chamber for a bullet. A gun to play Russian Roulette! You can spin the chamber to randomize the position of the bullet. True men aim for the head.

Sidearms (Energy)

Energy weapons are among the most common kind of weapon you'll find on a Nanotrasen space station. Reliable but has issues with ammo.

Energy Based

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
	Taser	Energy	5 Electrodes	Stun target	Armory, taser crates and summon guns.	Security	If you're trying to kill someone, stun, then beat the living daylights out of them.
	Energy Crossbow	Energy (Self-Charging)	Infinite Bolts (needs to cooldown after shooting)	10 Toxin + Stun	Syndicate Uplink.	Syndicate	The syndicate's energy crossbow, small, silent and deadly. It's worth noting that the stun is shorter than the standard taser gun.

File:Combatshotgun.png	Combat Shotgun	File:Blank shell.png 12 Gauge Shells	8 Shells	Depends on shell	Ordered in Cargo and from Summon guns.	Nanotrasen	The highest ammo capacity of any shotgun. Best of all, you don't need to manually eject shells after shooting.

Longarm (Energy)

Laser Based

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
File:Laser gun.png	Laser Gun	Energy	10 Lasers	20 Burn	Armory, weapons crates and summon guns.	Security	No real reason to use this over the energy gun as it is lethal ONLY.
File:Laser Cannon.png	Laser Cannon	Energy	10 Lasers	40 Burn	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	Must be researched first. This is the Laser Gun's bigger brother, fear him, he will fuck you over.
	Energy Gun	Energy	10 Lasers, 20 Disable	20 Burn Stun	Armory, Energy Weapons Crate or Summon guns.	Security	A versatile energy weapon. Best thing is to disable a target and then either handcuff (for arresting) or spam the other remaining shots at them on kill mode (for murder).
File:Advegun.png	Advanced Energy Gun	Energy	10 (recharges over time)	20 Burn/Stun target	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	Using advanced wizardry SCIENCE, a mini nuclear generator has been fitted into this gun to provide unlimited shots! Researched from R&D. Cannot be used in recharging units. Unreliable models may emit radiation, take caution.
File:Antique laser.png	Antique Laser Gun	Energy	12 (recharges over time)	20 Burn	Captain's Quarters.	Nanotrasen	The prized weapon of the Captain, and the target of many enemy horses. Similar to the laser gun except it's recharged all by itself. They just don't make guns like they used to.
File:Multiphase gun stun.gif	X-01 Multiphase Energy Gun	Energy	5 Stun, 10 Laser, 20 Disable	20 Burn	Head of Security.	Nanotrasen	The first attempt by Nanotrasen to remake the Captain's Antique Laser. Has more firing modes on offer but lacks the ability to recharge.
File:Ionrifle.png	Ion Rifle	Energy	10 Ion Pulses	20 Brute to silicon mobs Up to 90 damage to mechs 3x3 EMP	Armory and on the Nuclear Operative shuttle.	Security	Large and unwieldy, great for dealing with mechs. Cyborgs are weak to it: flashing cyborgs totally immobilizes them and it leaves you free to robust them to your heart's content.
File:Retrolaser.png	Retro Laser	Energy	12 Lasers	20 Burn	White Ship.	Unknown	Found on the white ship, this old beast is like the laser gun; anyone with a spaaaaaace suit and a little know-how can reach it.
File:Tempgun.png	Temperature Gun	Energy	40 Freeze/heat Beams	Heats/Cools target dependent upon the setting.	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	Another researched gun, if you can make this (more importantly, open that damn lockbox), chances are you can construct something better (read: laser cannon). Generally useless, except perhaps for killing slimes if you really don't want to get close.
File:Xraygun.png	X-Ray Gun	Energy	20 Lasers	15 Burn + 30 Irradiate	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	This beams from this gun will pass through everything but a wall. While it does do less burn damage, the radiation it inflicts causes toxin damage and can make someone mutate. Great for shooting up crowded hallways. Kills blobs dead. Current range of the gun is 15 tiles and drops further with every obstacle passed by the beam.

Pulse Based

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
File:Pulserifle.png	Pulse Rifle	Energy	200 Pulse	50 Burn	Deathsquad	Nanotrasen	The most powerful energy weapon in existence. Bruteforces energy weapon's ammo problems by having a very large power source. Its pulse setting is capable of doing massive damage to a target as well as destroying cover and walls.
File:Pulsecarbine.png	Pulse Carbine	Energy	10 Pulse, 20 Laser, 10 Stun	50 Burn	Emergency Response Team	Nanotrasen	A scaled down version of the Pulse Rifle, holds significantly less power than the Pulse Rifle but is capable of being placed inside bags. Issued to Elite Emergency Response Team Security personal.

Misc Weapons

Icon	Item	Ammo	Capacity	Damage & Effects	How to Acquire	Faction Usage	Notes
File:Chem sprayer.png	Chem Sprayer	Chemicals	600 units total 150 units of Spore Toxin (Causes blindness) 150 units of Cryptobiolin 150 units of Unstable Mutagen 150 units of Chloral Hydrate	Confusion, blindness, dizziness, knockout, and random mutations with the standard reagents.	Ordered via syndicate uplink, costs 10 telecrystals, only available to Nuclear Agents.	Syndicate	Think of it as a spray bottle. Except each spray is three tiles wide and can travel the entire screen. Generally kept away from players due to the potential of the lubepocalypse.
File:Flamethrower.png	Flamethrower	File:Plasma tank.png Gas of your choice	Depends on tank pressure	Depends on the gas	Made by yourself or with a hacked Autolathe	Civilian	You are a firestarter! Allows for creative gas mixes if you know your atmos. An area denial tool, generally useful for making small areas uninhabitable for people, not so useful when trying to kill someone, as it's easy to run away.
	Syringe Gun	File:Syringe.png Syringes	1 Syringe	6 Brute + 15u chemicals	Medbay Storage.	Civilian	In fact, this is very robust. Think of it as a ranged hypospray.
File:Rapidsyringegun.png	Rapid Syringe Gun	File:Syringe.png Syringes	6 Syringes	6 Brute + 15u chemicals	R&D Lab once researched first.	Nanotrasen	See the syringe gun, but take into account it holds six syringes. Can be made through researching them, and only costs metal and glass to make. This gun gives you the power to fuck over six people at once!

Admin Only Weapons

These weapons are currently restricted to admin spawn only, some may also appear in 'summon gun' events during a Wizard round however.

Admin	Delivers an explosion with every shot, plus you can afford to be less accurate with it, as the explosion hits 3x3, so it's great against groups.
