This book hurts so much to read. It could have been great. The potential is obvious.
The only conclusion I can come to is that it was written by someone who has never read Shadowrun 5th edition, but instead only heard about it from a friend describing it to them over the phone. Almost every single weapon will need a houserule to be usable, if only to define whether they are holdouts or heavy pistols, or sniper rifles or automatics, etc. Almost every single weapon with an accessory uses names of accessories that are almost, but not quite, the same as accessories that actually exist.
The PDF has no table of contents or index, and is informally split into 3 categories: weapons, weapon accessories, and vehicles. The problem there is that there are weapons in the accessories section, and there's a drone in the weapons section.
There are numerous other egregious errors that should have been caught by an editor.
Overall, this book is to other sourcebooks as Krime weapons are to other weapons: Low quality, cheaply made, and guaranteed to disappoint you.
