Rules/Addendum

   Double-barreled weapons allow an extra, simultaneous attack with the same weapon (roll normally), but every attack during the round when a double-barreled weapon is employed is at a -2 penalty.
   Repeating weapons allow the use of such feats as Rapid Shot and Multishot, which grant extra attacks, albeit at a cumulative -2 penalty. Thus, a character with either feat may take an extra attack during the round, and all attacks are at a -2. A character with both feats may take two extra attacks during the round, but all attacks are therefore at a -4 for the remainder of the round.
  Laser swords, due to the weightlessness of their blades, require the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat to use without incurring a -4 penalty to attack.
  Firearms and energy weapons require the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Firearms or Energy Weapons) feat to use without incurring a -4 penalty on attack; the appropriate feat may be granted as an automatic proficiency by the GM, depending on the setting and availability of such weapons.
  Optical scopes may be added to rifles and heavy pistols for 50 UMUs, allowing the user to make a Wisdom check (DC 14) to add a +4 bonus to their roll that stacks with all other bonuses. More expensive versions are also available, featuring rangefinders, heat sensors, night vision, and target tracking.
