A source of damage may also have an armor penetration value tied to it. This means it is better (or worse, in the case of a negative AP) at ignoring the armor a target might have.

A mob that suffers lethal damage over its health will die. Non-humanoid mobs ignore stamina damage.

== Ranged Weapons ==

While ranged weapons can be difficult to obtain, they hold a few significant advantages. Namely, utilizing a ranged weapon means that you are out of melee range; it is safer, and you are afforded far more freedom in your positioning during combat. Ranged weapons also tend to be more debilitating than melee weapons, generally doing more damage quicker. Their main flaw lies in a limited stock of ammunition. Ballistics require bullets that match the caliber the firearm takes, as well as likely requiring a paired magazine for loading said bullets. Meanwhile, energy weapons typically run off an internal battery that can be conveniently reloaded at several rechargers around the station. Regardless, you will more likely than not have to address the matter of ammo when using a ranged weapon, one way or another.

==== Bolt Action ====

|Compensates its low firing rate by being extremely powerful. Can be sawed off to fit in backpacks, incurring a massive loss of accuracy. Its bullet travels slightly faster than most and is exceptionally at causing wounds over long distances. Requires two hands to fire.

It also supports a bayonet.

===== Arrows =====

Arrows travel slightly slower than most ballistic projectiles.  

===== Arrow Modifications =====

=== Energy ===

Energy weapons, while rarer than ballistics in most environments, are standard-issue on Nanotrasen stations due to their research. Instead of utilizing clips or magazines, energy weapons have an internal cell that they draw upon in order to spontaneously create a projectile. While this makes for a convenient weapon that does not demand the carrying of additional magazines, this forces most energy weaponry to utilize anchored [[File:Recharger.gif]]rechargers in order to replenish their cell. In addition, EMPs will completely drain an energy weapon's cell, save some exceptions.

===== Miscellaneous =====

These energy guns are difficult to categorize, as their effects are more varied. They can range from entirely non-lethal or massively destructive to organic tissue.
