Firearm Retrofitting
To retrofit a weapon is to take it apart and rebuild it with new and different components to enhance or improve it in some way. There are many types of weapon retrofits available -- though some may require extensive research to pull off -- that can modify the very nature of a weapon in strange and useful ways.
Retrofitted weaponry still use the original statted weapons from the weapons appendix as their base. These modifications, once applied, are permanent. A weapon can only possess one retrofit at a time. These weapons are not considered unsoakable unless explicitly stated.
To add the retrofit,a Crafter must purchase the parts ("Price") and meet the DC to Make, based on percentages of the weapon's listed (i.e.: to place a "Galvanic Acceerator Cannon" retrofit on a weapon with a Price of 300000 and a DC of 3000, the user must pay 300,000c and meet DC 3000 to add the retrofit; a "High Power Retrofit" would cost 75,000 and the DC would be 750.)
