• Added concealability ratings to all weapons in the Gear Catalog.
• Added assault cannon shells, flechette ammunition, non-lethal ammunition, and tracer/incendiary ammunition to the Gear Catalog; edited the effects of armor-piercing ammunition on vehicles to simply use the Armor-Piercing system Perk.

• Moved Physical Adept information out of its original location in the Magic rules and into its own section here.
• Added rules for low-light, optical, passive thermal, active thermal, and ultrasound sights to the Gear Catalog.

• Removed the damage reduction on the HK227S (after rereading what DP9 did with the silencer in the Heavy Gear Equipment Catalog) and clarified what type of sight sniper rifles are assumed to have (both these changes were in the Gear Catalog).
• Fixed some wording on various sections in the Magic rules.
• Added silencers/sound suppressors to the Gear Catalog.

• Significant changes have been made to the formatting of the weapons entries in the Gear Catalog for simplicity's sake.
• I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had missed a table of example weapons in the SilCORE hardback (I think that this appendix must have been added between the softcover and hardcover versions of that book, and I just missed it when I read through it). As a result, I went through the weapons listed in the Gear Catalog and adjusted many of them to be closer in line to the examples given in that table. However, there are still some significant differences, in places where I disagreed with the choices made by DP9 for the SilCORE stats of weapons or where the Shadowrun description of those weapons made them significantly different from what was given in the table of examples.

• Added the Vigorous Assault Cannon, SovArms LAW, and IWS Multi-Launcher to the Gear Catalog.
