Algol Hand Weapons

The Algol Project:
Algolian Hand Weapons for MZ

This is my attempt to update the Algolian Hand Weapons so they are ready for Mekton Zeta. Since the personal armor in Mekton Zeta is so much tougher than Mekton II, there is little reason to leave the Hand Weapons at Mekton II Level (they just aren't that tough).

I didn't bother updating generic stuff like Broadsword or Compound Bow (there is already Mekton Zeta equivalents). Note I used Mekton Zeta Plus along with rules in the Tactical Display to design these hand weapons. Weight is a little heavy, but to quote the tactical display "the weight is purely a special effect." Just change the weight back to what it weighed in Mekton II. All damage is in hits (not Kills).
