Most modifiable weapons by type

  Updated:  Included State of the Art 2073, giving a new best in the LMG category.

  Todays post is about the most modifiable weapons in the game.  To use this information, you need the Arsenal supplement.

  The rules don't specifically state that you can remove standard modifications, but they do say you can remove modifications.  Assuming your game master allows it, this means that some weapons have more slots than others for the purpose of modification.

  The slots listed include the 6 default modifications slots that every weapon has.

  Since not everyone has every source book, I am including options from different books.

  Game masters should increase the (nuyen) cost of these weapons if they become grossly more popular than other weapons (supply and demand).  Additionally, it might be prudent to institute a house rule that standard modifications recover less slots, for example half.

  The Ultimax 150 and Jianshi QBZ-14 are listed with "+" slots because Gun Heaven doesn't specify what rating the powered slide mounts on these weapons are.  I estimated a rating 3 (taking 4 slots) since this is average, and sufficient for mounting an under barrel weapon (the most common scenario for a powered slide).
