There are days that you don't have your handguns around and you have to fight your way out of various situations, or you just want a good gladiatorial combat, just like Rome of old. Well, for you, we have the following items specially available!
Shields are effectively treated as gun-shields in that each one has a chance of being able to absorb the damage that is directed against the target. Roll a d6 to see if this is the case if the target is hit. Use the Save column on the chart below for the numbers required for the shield to be hit, and if it is the shield takes the damage. When it is destroyed the owner takes the damage.
Obviously while a shield is being used, only one handed weapons may be used.

Weapon prices should be considered a minimum. For replica weapons in the 2049 world, prices paid could easily be up to ten times as much, or more!
Good quality weapons cost 100% of the basic price (and upwards), and give either a +1 to hit, or +1 damage. A weapon which gives both costs at least 300% of the price. No other modifiers are allowed.

Light armour is a collection of thick cloth or light leather types.
Medium armour includes rigid leathers, scale and chainmail.
Heavy armour includes the various plate mails.
Suit armour is the catch all for the heavy plate full suited armour types.
As with weapons, replica armours can cost much more than the listed price.
This has two values listed on the armour table. The first value is the amount of damage that the armour can absorb, as normal armour. However this is just for hand to hand weapons and archaic ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows. The second value is the damage absorbed from a modern ranged weapon, such as a pistol or shotgun. This value is subtracted from the damage of the weapon, and counts against the damage that the armour can absorb. Any remaining damage inflicted by the weapon is applied directly against the wearer. This is because while these armour types were great for soaking up damage from swords and close combat weapons, against most piercing modern bullet firing weapons, they lose a lot of effectiveness, the penetrating power of the bullet being a lot more than the armour can deal with.
