Note: This lists only shells that can be acquired by normal means.

*[[File:Buckshot_shell.png|32px]]'''Buckshot:''' Shoots 6 pellets dealing 11 brute damage each. Extremely lethal at close range.

**[[File:Dragon_shell.png|32px]] '''Dragonsbreath Shell:''' Like the incendiary slug, but shoots a spread of 4 burning pellets. Deals less direct damage.

**[[File:Ion_shell.png|32px]] '''Ion Scatter Shell:''' Shoots a spread of 4 ion bolts, each of which ions a 3x3 area.

|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.

|200 Pulse

|Deathsquad

| 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.

|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.

To be good at combat, you must be able to survive an encounter with anything; Nuclear Operatives, Wizards, Assistants and such. While some may say that the best defense is a robust offense (which can be true in some cases), knowing how to protect yourself is a vital skill needed to be [[robust]].

Having the ability to stun at a moment's notice will protect you from getting robusted quite often (as long as you don't get stunned first).

===Three kinds of stuns===

|Weaken + Stun<br>Duration 10 + 15 duration silence

|Works on cyborgs. Blocked by null rod.

!Eye protection

|[[Cargo]] and [[Engineering]] for welding helmets, [[Security]] for sunglasses.

|Doesn't do anything with the stun itself; rather, it protects you from flashing

A few items, when used, can completely block damage.

!{{anchor|Riot Shield}}[[Riot Shield]]

|[[Armory]]

|Riot shields have 75 health, and will eventually shatter if hit by enough.

|-

|[[Mining]]

|Gives quite good protection from melee attacks and explosions. Can be upgraded with goliath hide plates to a maximum of 60 melee defense. Essentially becoming a spaceworthy riot suit. The helmet must be upgraded independently of the suit.

|See [[Space_suit|here]] for information on the different styles.

|-

|Gives slightly increased protection against all damage sources.

|melee = 45 <br>bullet = 30 <br>laser = 30 <br>energy = 10 <br>bomb = 25 <br>bio = 100 <br>rad = 50

|-

![[File:Wizardsuit.png|64px]]

|[[Armory]]

|Gives excellent protection against Laser and Energy attacks and can even deflect them.

|-

![[File:Bulletproofvest.png|64px]]

|Protects moderately against melee and lasers, which are common things to be harmed by.

|melee = 30 <br>bullet = 30 <br>laser = 30 <br>energy = 10 <br>bomb = 25

|-

![[File:Durathreadvest.png|64px]]

|[[Toxins Lab]], [[Armory]]

|Protects you from bombs. Even if a bomb manages to kill you, your body will not be gibbed and you can be cloned.

|A suit designed for safety when handling explosives.

|-

|Offers very robust protection from all damage sources, with zero slowdown.

| melee = 65 <br>bullet = 50 <br>laser = 50 <br>energy = 50 <br>bomb = 50 <br>bio = 100 <br>rad = 100 <br>fire = 80 <br>acid = 80

![[File:Secjumpsuit.png|64px]]

|[[Security Office]]

|A security officer's jumpsuit provides a small amount of melee protection. All security-division jumpsuits have the same benefit, whether it be an officer's, the detective's, or the HoS's. Lawyers do not, however.

|The kicker? It goes in your jumpsuit slot, and when worn underneath armor will stack their defenses additively.

|[[HoS]]

| melee = 40 <br>bullet = 30 <br>laser = 25 <br>energy = 10 <br>bomb = 25 <br>bio = 10

|Powerful and stylish, also for showing who is in charge around here. The dermal armor in the HoS's locker offers the same protection as this.
