Zip Guns & Ammo Cards

The zip gun says it functions as a weapon- does this mean I can use ammo cards with a zip gun? I assume it's also treated as an equipment card...

This card represents an equipment card and doesn't count as a combat card while in play. This equipment is a Weapon: Gun. Ammo cards cannot be used with this gun. It does 1R damage each strike, with an optional maneuver each combat. Bearer takes 1 damage during strike resolution when this gun is used, but only once each combat. This card is kept as normal equipment and not discarded after combat. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Basically, is the zip gun a good way for a free manuver each combat?

Moot. If you use the maneuver, that means you strike with the gun. [6.4.3] [ quoted text not captured ]

So if you use the maneuver from the zip gun, you have already chosen to strike with the zip gun. Archibald Zimonyi Malkavian Prince of Gothenburg
