Individual Weapon Loads
Individual team members are allocated a basic weapon load. This consists of a primary weapon, a sidearm, ammunition and magazines for both, and an assortment of grenades or explosives.
The
sidearm is almost always a Browning HP-35 or H&K VP-70.
The
primary weapon is typically a Stoner M22 Rifle, but team roles may call for other options. MARS Team members may select from the following heavy weapons instead: Any Light Machine Gun, M9A1-7 Flamethrower, Armbrust 300 Recoiless Rifle, or M47 Dragon.
The explosives are 10 pieces from any hand grenade, M72A2 LAW, or HAFLA-35L (which comes in a set of 3). Typically with a target weight of 20kg in total.
The most common loadout is: (19.94 kg total) 1 Stoner M22 (M23/M16/M4) w/12 mags, 1 HP-35 w/3 mags, 4 M67 Grenades, 4 M34 WP Grenades, 2 M72A2 LAWs.
Most field teams will have a
Marksman who will carry a M21 Sniper Weapon System as their primary weapon.
One member per team will be issued a HK69A1 w/36 rds 40mm as an additional weapon for most teams. Almost all
Grenadiers use the loadout: 12 M433 HEDP, 8 M651 CS gas, 6 Stunbag, 4 M576E2 multiple projectile, 3 star shells (one each red, white & green), 3 white illumination parachute flares.
Team
Medics have a special load. They carry a sidearm, 2 AN-M8, HC smoke grenades, 1 surgical kit (11 kg), 1 large medkit (5 kg), and 1 universal antibody/antidote system (1 kg). Typically they have an assistant who carries a sidearm, primary weapon, 4 M67 grenades, and 1 drug kit (13.5 kg). Some weight may be shifted to assistants as needed. Any sort of field surgery requires an assistant with a drug kit.
Short Blades
While Morrow Project members may find melee weapons more useful in the apocalypse than expected, the Morrow Project only trains members in the KCB-70 knife / bayonet.

Grenade Launcher
These are multi-purpose weapons firing 40mm grenades. With the high-explosive rounds the launchers act as small mortars, as flare guns when used with white parachute flares or star clusters, and as non-lethal weapons if used with gas or stunbag rounds. Some of the launchers are mounted on rifles, carried in holsters, or mounted on vehicles. With the multiple projectile buckshot rounds the launchers act as large shotguns firing 20 #4 buckshot for each round fired.

Heavy Weapons
Light Machine Guns
These are large, heavy weapons capable of only full-automatic fire. They are belt-fed, that is the ammunition is held in flexible metal belts that break up into separate links after being used. They often have a built in bipod for shooting from the ground or can be mounted on a tripod. These weapons are capable of long-range fire but are light enough to be hand-held and fired like a rifle from either the hip or shoulder. They fire rifle caliber ammunition and are normally fired in 6 round bursts.

Heavy Machine guns
A very large weapon, the ammunition for some being in the small cannon class. These weapons are always mounted either in a vehicle or on a tripod, and require a crew of three to six men to carry the weapon and its ammunition. Capable of being fi red either semi or full automatic, these guns can be utilized as a long range sniping system. When used on full automatic they are normally fi red in 10 round bursts.

Missile Launchers
These are recoilless weapons of several types. They range from small, hand-held, single shot launchers to large, mounted missile systems. Their complexity varies from simple tubes or guide rails to complex launching systems with integral sighting and tracking. All missile launchers have a danger area behind them. This is caused by the “back blast” of the rocket’s exhaust as it is launched. Some of the largest launchers can only be used on vehicles while some of the medium variety can be carried and operated by a crew.
Damage for missiles is split between direct damage to target and targets in the burst (if a target is both, roll the dice together).

Flamethrowers
Come in several types, the most common being a backpack of tanks with a hose leading to a hand held gun. A flamethrower is psychologically devastating as the flame is terrifying to watch. It may either be fired with the fuel ignited or the fuel can be sprayed over a target, allowed to soak in, then lit. Used in this manner it is a very effective threat because the flames will consume all the oxygen around the target unless it is specially sealed.
Flame weapons ignore armor, gain no benefits from a raise and targets hit check if they are catch fire.

Explosives
Mines
Mines are explosives planted beneath shallow dirt that detonate in the listed blast template when a person (for anti-personnel mines) or vehicle (for anti-tank mines) passes over them. Planting mines is usually a Dramatic Task.
Type | Damage | Blast | Total Wt |
---|
M25, Antipersonnel | 2d4 | One target | .1kg |
* Notes: An action to plant. Targets feet or tires. If creature or vehicle is Shaken by attack, must roll on Injury table. |
M16A1, Bounding Antipersonnel | 3d6 | SBT | 3.6kg |
* Notes: Only full overhead cover offers an Armor bonus against the M16A1. Simply being prone offers no protection. |
M18A1 Claymore | 3d6 | Special | 1.6kg |
* Notes: Claymores fire a spray of deadly steel balls in a 60° frontal arc. * Everyone within 12m (24 yards) is automatically hit. * Roll a die for all other targets up to 50m; (100 yards). Those who get an odd result are also hit. |
M19 Anti-Tank | 4d6 | MBT | 12.6kg |
* Notes: Heavy Weapon. AP 5 vs. 1/2 the vehicle’s Armor value (round up). |
Demolitions
These can be used for a variety of purposes: felling trees, uprooting stumps, mining and tunneling as well as combat purposes. Most need another explosive to set them off e.g. a detonator or primercord. More primitive explosives like black powder or nitroglycerine are responsive to flame and shocks like being hit by a bullet - or even vigorously shaken (in the case of nitro).
Each team is issued a basic demolition kit, weights 57.5kg (no explosives). Arming Demolitions takes a Dramatic Action.
Type | Range | Damage | Blast | Total Wt |
---|
M112 C-4 Demolition Block | - | 2d6 | SBT | .6kg |
* Notes: Damage listed is for one demolition block. Exponentially more blocks increases damage by +1d6 or size of blast by one step. * Can be reshaped with Electronics (Explosives). | |
M183 Satchel Charge | 2/4/8 | 5d6 | SBT | 10.5kg |
* Notes: A bag of M112 blocks and priming assemblies. Can be thrown with Athletics. | |
