			Now that hand weapons are in place, we'll continue with ranged weapons.

	Ranged weapons introduce four new variable ratings that need to be tracked, as well as a handful of special attributes that are either present or not. The variable ratings corresponding to the following characteristics: rate of fire, number of shots, number of actions to reload, and ammunition type. They can be managed via new fields that we'll add to the "WeapRange" component, which is defined in the file "equipment.~~pri~~". They should look similar to the field definitions provided below.		Ranged weapons in Savage Worlds introduce four new variable ratings that need to be tracked, as well as a handful of special attributes that are either present or not. The variable ratings corresponding to the following characteristics: rate of fire, number of shots, number of actions to reload, and ammunition type. They can be managed via new fields that we'll add to the "WeapRange" component, which is defined in the file "equipment.str". They should look similar to the field definitions provided below.

	We also need to add the new fields and ~~attribute~~ to the special notes shown for weapons on the Armory tab. This can be done via the Eval script within the "WeapRange" component that performs this function. The exception is the ammunition type, which doesn't belong here and can be accessed via the description text if the user wants to reference that info. The code parallels what we've already done for hand weapons, which results in a revised script that ~~look~~ like the following.
