Oct 22, 2015 I was throwing some ideas at the wall for Destiny using 5e D&D. After some thinking, I realized that you can map the existing martial ranged weapons to firearms like this: Pistol: Use shortbow stats. SMG: Use hand crossbow stats. Assault Rifle: Use heavy crossbow. Crossbows (and similar weapons) have been bad choices in most editions of D&D despite being rather iconic. This is a recurring theme in 5e, where the system itself seems to work very well in general but there's a few options that just don't quite work well.

Description
You draw a light crossbow back by pulling a lever. Loading a light crossbow is a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity.
Normally, operating a light crossbow requires two hands. However, you can shoot, but not load, a light crossbow with one hand at a –2 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a light crossbow with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons. This penalty is cumulative with the penalty for one-handed firing.
