Following is an index of all the weapons that can be used to equipped during vehicle customization.

Vehicle Weapons

There are some discrepancies in the scripts regarding the notes and the in game. The :Projectile Spread for missiles is not clear, as the notes indicate spread is only applicable to machine guns at the moment.

Name: Name of the weapon and description of the weapon

Size: Number of slots the weapon takes
Cost: Cost per weapon
Research: Research tree required to unlock.
Damage: Damage per hit, damage caused by bio effects are listed after
Speed: Speed of the projectile, only affects cannons and missiles, although it is used for the tracer effects from machine guns. Used with the "Speed To Damage Modifier" value on armor.
Gravity: effect that gravity has on the shot. Lower values result in less effect and a longer, flatter arc. Only affects cannons.
Heat: Heat added per shot fired
Weight: weight of the weapon
Cycle Time: time between shots
Clip Size: ammo loaded per reloads
Total Ammo Clips: max ammo clips carried (0 is the same as not using clips)
Reload Time: time to load one clip, if Total Ammo Clips is '0', time to reload one unit of ammo
Projectile Spread: Accuracy. Notes in the script fire indicate this value only affects machine guns, however in game behavior seems to suggest that this also affects missiles.
Heat To Target: Heat added to target per hit

Dumb Missile/Homing Missile/Guided Missile: type of missile

Missile Range: max range in HL2 units that the player can lock onto a target with a homing missile, or range from vehicle being fired from when a guided missile stops following the player's crosshairs

Lock On Time: time it takes for a homing missile to lock onto the target under the player crosshairs

Lock On Radius: this is an approximation that determines how close a target must be to your crosshair (screen position) before it can begin locking onto (ie a bigger number means that the crosshair doesn't need to be directly over or as close to the target) it defines a box around the crosshair, and a target must be within this box to be homed on and its Size decreases with range

Lock Range Modifier: modifies lock on time based on range (as range increases, lock on time increases based on the modifier: (modifier * range to target + lock on time = total lock on time)

Countermeasure Effectiveness: Not yet implemented but included in info. A percentage (1 = 100%) which determines how likely the missile will lock onto a flare or chaff rather than the actual target when flares or chaff is in between it and its target. When a flare or chaff is detected in front of the missile, a number between 0.000 and 1.000 is generated. If the number is less than the effectiveness number, the missile will target the flare/chaff.

Turning Ability: determines how effective the missile can turn to home in on its target or guide itself to the crosshair for a guided missile: 1.0 means the missile can turn instantly towards its target, 0.0 and the missile doesn't turn at all
