Boat Guns (R216B)

These large weapons require 5 CU of space and are installed only in a ship’s boat. A qualified starship gunner is needed to
fire them, and a boat pilot cannot also fire the guns. When purchased, boat guns are installed at that time if the boat is
present; otherwise a starship engineer can install them (R221B) in one day of RRR (R203C) devoted to the task.

A hit from boat guns may reduce an individual’s Endurance or disable him (R231), or inflict one hit on a vehicle (may be a
critical hit, see R230K).
