Utlra Tech Acronyms

For some reason they didn't include explanations of the abbreviations and acronyms for conventional and electrothermal guns in GURPS: Ultra Tech for 4e.

CL = caseless telescoped, C for caseless option, L for the light option both from page 164 of GURPS: High-Tech 4e which was published AFTER Ultra-Tech!  Missing is the T for telescoped option, which has not been detailed, just mentioned.  Also note, these options are the default state and the modifications and weight reductions have already been applied.

Because they have three different 10mm caseless rounds listed, they needed to differentiate them from each other without getting too detailed.  Remember this is supposed to be fairly generic.  If these were real rounds it'd be "10x20mm CLT, 10x30mm CLT and 10x45mm CLT" or some such.

CLP = Caseless Pistol, shorter than the normal 10mm CL.

CLR = Caseless Long Rifle, longer than the normal 10mm CL.

PC = Polymer Cased

PLB = Pre-Loaded Barrel; this is like a MetalStorm barrel.
