= Types =
Weapons in Underrail are split into 4 categories according to the skill they use: ''guns'', ''throwing'', ''crossbows'' and ''melee''.
:'''''Guns''''' are further split into ''pistols'', ''SMGs'', ''assault rifles'' and ''sniper rifles''.
:'''''Throwing''''' weapons are further split into ''grenades'' and other throwing weapons.
:'''''Melee weapons''''' are further split into ''unarmed'', ''knives'', ''sledgehammers'' and other melee weapons.

[[Feats]] often enhance or work with only some types of weapons, ''e.g. [[Snipe]] requires a crossbow or sniper rifle, while [[Gunslinger]] only affects pistols (this includes chemical and energy pistols).''

Overview of some of the weapon types follows:

== Guns ==
=== Pistols ===
[[File:Pistol.png|right|link=]]
* Only firearm with no skill requirement (any character can be fairly efficient with it)
* AP cost varies greatly with caliber
* No moving penalty (can move and shoot without precision penalty)
* No melee penalty (enemies in melee range do not reduce your precision)
* Low-medium range

=== SMGs ===
[[File:smg.png|right|link=]]
* Single and burst fire
* No moving penalty
* No melee penalty
* Medium range
* Can be enhanced for increased burst precision (less likely to miss/hit other targets)
* Moderate skill requirement

=== Assault Rifles ===
[[File:AssaultRifle.png|right|link=]]
* Single and burst fire
* Slight moving penalty
* No melee penalty
* Medium-high range
* High damage output, especially with short range burst (most powerful close range firearm in hands of skilled character)
* High skill requirement
* Moderate strength requirement

=== Sniper Rifles ===
[[File:Sniper.png|right|link=]]
* Powerful single shot attack, great against armored targets
* High moving and melee penalties
* Highest range
* High skill requirement
* High damage output (especially from stealth)
* Low strength requirement
* High precision when firing without interference

=== Energy Pistols ===
[[File:LaserPistol.png|right|link=]]
* Lower damage potential than an average firearm of the same quality
* Low-medium range
* Increased precision
* Does energy damage which easily penetrates most armors
* Bad against energy shields
* Very expensive
* Uses energy rather than ammunition (charged from batteries)

== Crossbows ==
[[File:Crossbow.png|right|link=]]
* Versatile weapon
* Medium-high range
* Incurs 125% increased mechanical damage resistance (harder to penetrate armor)
* Slower projectiles allow easier energy shield penetration
* Can fire special bolts (poison, tranquilizing, incendiary, shock, etc)
* Cheap ammo

== Melee Weapons ==
=== Knives ===
[[File:Knife.png|right|link=]]
* Can be crafted out of any type of metal
* Can't have any extra enhancements, but there are several types of knives you can make with different mold
* Incurs 125% increased mechanical damage resistance (harder to penetrate armor)

=== Sledgehammers ===
[[File:Sledgehammer.png|right|link=]]
* High damage output (especially in hands of a strong character)
* High strength requirement
* Ignores mechanical damage threshold (damage can never be fully mitigated)
* 10% chance to stun target on hit
* Can be enhanced with special components for extra on hit effects

= Variations =
Most weapon types and models exist in a wide range of different variations which can be either [[crafting|crafted]] from components, purchased from traders, found, stolen or looted from dead enemies.

The most basic variable between two seemingly identical weapons is damage; in addition to that, there are different calibers of firearms, different molds for knives, many enhancements ranging from rifle scope to an electroshock generator on a sledgehammer.

For example, the hawker pistol alone has 8 different variations which include different calibers and ''weapon enhancements'' like a laser sight or an extended pistol magazine. Furthermore, the damage of all those variants depends on the quality of hawker-type pistol frame they're made of. The amount of different weapons is vastly larger than it might initially seem like.

= Durability =
Since version [[0.1.7.0]], most [[weapons]] and [[armor]] have durability. This means you must periodically use [[repair kit]]s to keep your gear in working order. Once a weapon's durability has been degraded enough, your UI will notify you that you have a [[Degraded Weapon]] or [[Heavily Degraded Weapon]] and the weapon will suffer from increasingly reduced precision until repaired. A weapon that has reached zero durability can still be used, but with almost no chance to hit. It can still be repaired back to normal.
