Weapons

Hand-to-Hand and single shot weapons are unchanged from the standard rules.
Weapons capable of repeated shots add +1 Combat Factors [no change], as listed below.
Weapons capable of automatic fire add +2 [+1] Combat Factors, as listed below.

Because games frequently cover few minutes of game-time, most ammunition is considered as unlimited. Grenades are an obvious exception. Reloading of most weapons is assumed to be fairly rapid.
