Quick notes

Firearm roles. Metro's handmade weapons differ in range, capacity and handling.
Pneumatic preparation. Pneumatic weapons depend on pressure as well as ammunition.
Mutants and humans demand different movement. Mutants often force immediate close defense, while armed humans can hold firing lanes.
Reload before entering the next space. Some handmade guns have awkward reload cycles.
