+=====Familiarities=====
+Note that you can start with 2 familiarities for each point used in the skills. If you have not specified the familiarities then you are assumed to be familiar with your starting weapons and closely related imperial weapons.
+Familiarity penalties for guns are a sum of:
+   * -1 for a substantial caliber difference (handgun cartridge, rifle cartridge, shotgun cartridge, heavy machine gun cartridge, any Magnum cartridge vs. an ordinary one, etc.). This penalty especially applies whenever there’s a damage differ- ence of 1d or more.
+   * -1 for ignition (flintlock, caplock, self-contained cartridge, etc.).
+   * -1 for action or operating mechanism (automatic, pump-action, lever-action, etc.). For this purpose, there’s no differ-ence between semiautomatic and full-automatic.
+   * -1 for grip or handling (normal stock vs. bullpup, pistol vs. revolver, etc.).
+   * -1 for sights (iron sights, scope, reflex sight, etc.).
+   * -1 for feed (internal magazine, detachable magazine, revolver cylinder, muzzle-loading, belt-feed, etc.). This doesn’t apply if someone else has loaded the gun for you!
+Familiarity penalties for beam weapons are a sum of:
+   * -1 for large size difference (at least 2 difference in bulk)
+   * -2 for beam weapon technology(laser vs blaster etc.)
+   * -1 for grip or handling (normal stock vs. bullpup, pistol vs. revolver, etc.).
+   * -1 for sights (iron sights, scope, reflex sight, etc.).
+   * -1 for feed
+Familiarity penalties for gunner and artillery:
+   * -2 for fire- control system (e.g., map coordinates when you’re used to satellite imagery)
+   * -2 for  mount (e.g., a naval turret when you’re used to emplaced guns)
+   * -2 for for an unfamiliar weapon of a known type (e.g., 155mm when you are used to 203mm);
+All familiarity penalties disappear after you have had eight
+hours of practice with it. An easy way to avoid
+familiarity penalties is the Cross-Trained perk.
+=====Skill and bonus limits=====
+Note that the maximum accuracy bonus you can achieve with scopes and other targeting aids and bonuses like aiming is equal to the accuracy of the weapon. Thus any weapon is limited to a maximum of accuracy*2 to hit bonus before penalties
+Due to the inherent accuracy limit of weapons the total accuracy+skill+bonuses of any weapon is limited to 2*accuracy+22 before penalties.
