This module uses a spinning gyro to resist the natural wobbling that occurs when the weapon is wielded in human hands. It greatly stabilizes aim, especially under circumstances of violent jerking motion (such as firing while running, or firing an automatic weapon).
Requirements:
- Must be mounted on a projectile weapon
Effects:
- Grants +2 to hit
- Further reduces penalty to hit when using Autofire by 2. (Normal: you take -5 to hit, or -2 if weapon was braced).
- Removes any penalties to hit associated with your own movement (which don't technically exist, but should).
Special:
- The gyro uses the weapon's own power source, and has no effect on power consumption.
- However, if the weapon has no power source (i.e. a slugthrower), you must provide an Energy Cell to power the gyro.
