The weapons in The Wastes range from primitive, improvised melee weapons to state-of-the-art firearms. While the lower-tech weapons might seem a bit useless at first, your opinion might change when your shiny H&K G-11 runs out of that precious caseless ammo and you're facing a psycho with a sledgehammer...
All weapons do a random
amount of damage, within preset ranges. This prevents people
from calculating exactly how many shots it will take to kill
someone, because it simulates the erratic effects of combat.
A bullet could just graze the target's skull without killing
him, or a rifle round could go straight through the eyes or heart.
Random damage can also simulate the effects of underpowered or
poorly loaded ammunition.
