How To Be Succinct

Modular weapons are a pain to express clearly in GURPS.

A flat top AR has no rear sight.

What's the Acc of a rifle without a rear sight?

I have decided that it's 0.

A rear sight also adds weight to the rifle, so I've shown it without the weight of a rear sight and a note on the weapons table, "Acc 0 without rear sight or optic. No iron sights while an optic is mounted."

Then I listed the detachable carry handle on the table, and a common, issue, optic.

Clear and succinct.

It's important, I've found to be so because you need to waterboard most players before they read the descriptions.
