Weapons

Weapons have two ratings: Damage/Range and Penetration. Damage is how much Stress is added, Pen compares to hardness, if its equal or greater the hardness is halved vs that attack (round down). When you hit with Spin (by 3+) you halve the target's armor, if your weapon Penetrates that level of armor you ignore it entirely.
