Weapon Keywords Effects

Many weapons do special things and when this is the case these effects get a keyword.
Here is a list of all standard weapon keyword effects and what they do:

Keyword	Effect
EMP	If this weapon hits in a place where their shields are destroyed, the mech loses its next turn.
Stagger	After this weapon hits a mech, that mech takes an extra 2 dmg per hit for the remainder of this player’s turn.
Blade	If this weapon hits a non-joint slot on a limb, you may instead choose to hit a joint slot.
Unstable	You may not fire this weapon and move in the same turn.
Overheat	A successful hit on the opponent increases their used heat capacity for their next turn by 10.
Overclock	You may choose prior to firing to make a PWR saving throw where you must roll above 10. If you succeed the weapon will do double damage, if you fail the weapon becomes damaged.
Explosive	After impact the projectile explodes, immediately breaking the component hit.
Leech	Fires large latching rounds that deal 2 damage each turn after the hit. Rounds can be removed for 10MP each.
Grab	If you successfully hit a mech's limb, you may prevent that mech from using attachments in that limb or from using its normal alotted movement on its next turn as long as you stay within 50ft of the mech.
