==Ranged Weapons==
Although often hard to get, these can put you at a huge advantage. Not just from being outside melee range, but also by shooting through windows and destroying walls. Guns rely on a stock of ammo, and those are hard to get, while energy guns use recharging units or just recharge by themselves.

==Ballistic==
==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.
Ballistic weapons remain the most popular and numerous variant of firearm in the 26th century. However, Nanotrasen's research in the field of energy weapons means ballistics are a rare sight on-station. As a result, these are often brought in from outside sources, be it Cargo, ruins, or the Syndicate.
 
===Automatic===
===Automatic===
Automatic weapon's ammunition are stored in magazines that can switched quickly with another once they're empty, some can be tactically reloaded by simply using another magazine on the weapon, switching the two without requiring to remove tthe previous magazine. Many of them possess a burst fire mode making them shoot multiple bullets per click. This allow automatic ballistic weaponry to shoot many bullets for prolonged periods of time.
An automatic weapon is defined by its ability to self-load upon each trigger pull, allowing users to continue firing rounds so long as the weapon's clip or magazine is loaded. As a result, they are the most capable weapons of continuous fire, especially when considering their fast, on-field reload times relative to energy weapons. Some automatics permit tactical reloads, which allow a user to instantly swap an in-hand magazine with the magazine currently in the weapon. In addition, automatics are likely to have a burst fire mode, which will discharge multiple shots per trigger pull. A fully empty automatic will require the user to rack the slide once a new magazine has been inserted before they are ready to fire. The slide can be racked by interacting with the firearm in hand, while magazine ejection requires the automatic to be clicked with an open hand. In order to insert a new one, have a magazine in hand, then click on the automatic.

Revolvers use an internal cylinder as a magazine. As a result, their ammo can be topped off at any point by using individual rounds or a speed loader. By using ALT+CLICK on a revolver, you can spin the cylinder, which will randomize the set position of the cylinder. Overall, they still remain popular due to their ease of use.

===Shotgun===
===Shotgun===
Shotguns all use the same 12g shells. Those shells are both robust and varied in effects, allowing shotguns to perform very well in many different situations.
Shotguns use a variety of 12 Gauge shells for their ammunition, which all discharge differing projectile spreads and projectile types. This permits them some of the greatest utility and versatility compared to other ballistic classes. They are also the most commonly found ballistic firearm on station. Shells are loaded into shotguns individually, automatically ejecting any spent shells they replace. You can still interact with a shotgun in hand to either unload the barrel(s), rack the pump, or rack the slide.

===Bolt Action===
===Bolt Action===
Bolt action weapons do not chamber a new round when firing, needing you to rack the bolt to eject the spent casing and then once again to load a new live round.
Bolt-action firearms are characterized by their bolt cycling mechanism. The bolt must be drawn back to permit access to the internal magazine for reloading, and it must also be cycled in order to eject a spent round to permit another bullet to be chambered. Because this process is clunky and time-costly relative to a self-loading firearm, bolt-actions are seen as antique, dated weapons.

===Bow===
===Bow===
Bows, despite being mostly outdated, are still used by people without easy access to other ranged weapons. Shooting a bow require the user to load an arrow manually then drawing the bow before being able to fire, this results in a noticeably slower firerate compared to regular guns. Arrows will generally drop on the ground after hitting their target letting them be reused, they can also embed in targets, requiringthe arrow to be removed to prevent additional damage.
Bows, despite being mostly outdated, are most often used in sporting activities. Regardless, individuals on station are able to craft them if they desire a ranged option. Shooting a bow require the user to load an arrow manually, then drawing the bow before it's able to fire. The individual loading and drawing of each arrow means their rate of fire is slow, but each arrow has a chance to embed in its target, which will cause bleeding and additional damage unless dealt with. If an arrow does not embed, it often falls on the ground in front of the hit target. Some arrows have a chance to break on impact, which will prevent embedment or retrieval.
