i think that the option to have a tread to collect custom made weapon could be helpful for all the players. by the way is possible to have the Arsenal file used to create the weapon used in the profile calculator? i'm tryng to figure PIAT traits but haven't found them, or how are realised the range bonus of the shotgun.

Not sure I follow what you mean I am afriad ... the weapon builder will let you 'build' weapons to your own version/view the points cost then added to the squad builder etc.
Remember all the weapons are based on a 'generic' version, differences between types or even models will appear in supplements or as fan based work etc.
A thread for wepaons would be a good idea indeed.

yes , in the builder there is the option for PIAT, but i haven't found where i can view the trait, range, etc. So for shotgun, you have bonus for short range, but i've not found how much this bonus cost and how i can apply to weapons i create. the Builder let you load a file named Arsenal. my request was, if possible, to be able to load the file you used to calculate the cost of the "generic" version mentioned in the book or in the figure profile creator to have a guide for variation i could create. please excuse me for my bad english and thanks for the fast and clear answer.

No worries your English is far better than my (any other language) - I can see your problem and will ask what we can do about it ... I suspect that it may be too difficult to put on the java script though without causing problems. For now for weapons with differing range values I would base it on the shotgun.
Will get back to you.

The PIAT should go from the builder, it was a tentative stat up. The definitive PIAT will be in the WW2 book. I'll ask Ray to remove it for the time being.
We avoided to put in every little rule that was used, for example shotguns have their own quirks, and that is used for shotguns. We didn't want the builder to become too complex with rules that are used only on one weapon. Anyway, it will grow. The logic in costing the shotgun is that the different modifiers cancel out.
The builders should suffice for the moment, but I'll create a thread for suggested modifiers and new rules. When we have enough, we will ask Ray to update the builder. He is doing this as volunteer work so no reason to torment him with a little change every other day :-) You can also fit in a temporary special rule by clicking on "edit special rules" (the only problem is that the builder will not save it for future uses).
