Ballistic weapons remain the most popular and numerous variant of firearm in the 26th century, as their missiles are able to travel far faster than most energy-based projectiles. 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. | Ballistic weapons remain the most popular and numerous variant of firearm in the 26th century, as their missiles are able to travel far faster than most energy-based projectiles.

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 | 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 drop the weapon's loading mechanism once a new magazine has been inserted before they are ready to fire. The firearm can be racked by interacting with the firearm in hand (this cannot be done while your off-hand is full if the weapon cannot be dual-wielded), 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. | ||

|An uncommon shotgun, typically only used in emergencies by Security. Because of its high capacity, convenience in being able to be worn on security exosuits, and the fact that a handful spawn in the Armory roundstart, this tends to be the most common shotgun on-station. Can be sawn off with a circular saw (make sure it's not loaded). A sawn-off shotgun will fit in your backpack or on your belt, though it will lose some accuracy. | |An uncommon shotgun, typically only used in emergencies by Security.

|A tool, rather than a weapon. Each breaching slug deals 10 Brute damage but deals massive damage to doors and windows. One is enough to shatter a window, while three will breach an airlock. As they're normal-sized, they can conveniently be carried in your backpack when the situation demands it. This shotgun can only load breaching slugs, and breaching slugs can only be loaded into this weapon. | |A tool, rather than a weapon.
