If you have an old version of HU 2nd, the shotgun skill was missing I think. In HU it uses the
same Modern Combat bonues (page 75 in HU). I've for the most part have switch to the rules
found in RUE, BtS, and Dead Reign, but I've kept the burst rules on page 75-78 in HU). In
those same books W.P. Rifle has become the universal rifle skill (bolt action rifles and
automatic & semi-auto, military assaulty rifles). And yes you can subsitite assassin for martial
arts. If you want you could even use the Hand to Hand: Commando (from same games
mentioned above).

Would proficiency with a shotgun fit under one of the current W.P.'s or would it require a separate one?
Would proficiency with an assault (automatic) rifle fit under one of the current W.P.'s or would it require a separate one?
For the Espionage Program (Basic) skill package, would it be acceptable to substitute HtH Assassin for HtH Martial Arts if the character is of a selfish alignment?
Thanks for your input!
Most of the time WP Shotgun and WP rifle are lumped together under one skill.Certain books,however,contradict this.
Have you ever been thrown out of a Rifts game for being smarter than the Game Master?
