This states:
ANALOG
This weapon does not use any advanced electronics, computer systems, or electrical power sources. It is immune to abilities that target technology. While this use of the word “analog” is not technically correct when referring to technology, use of the term in this way has become common.
Does that mean if a weapon does NOT have Analog then it IS SUBJECT to abilities that target tech?
Specifically, I noticed that the following seemingly non-tech weapons (weapons that don't require power) do not have the Analog flag (I am not including Unarmed here):
Flame Pistol/Rifle (seems similar to the Flamethrower heavy weapons, and require petrol not a battery, but I could be wrong)
Crossbolter (description mentions using mechanical power and does not require a battery)
All of the grenades
Shuirken
Net
Bow
While I'll admit that I haven't gone through all of the spells yet, or any other ability that targets technology, maybe it isn't a big enough deal (looking at Discharge, for example, even though a Net isn't Analog, it wouldn't do anything to it since it isn't powered). I just keep thinking about how this could be used (Antitech Field, similar to Antimagic Field, that renders any non-analog weapon useless, for example) in the future, so I'd like to make sure I understand.
Thanks!
Flame Pistol/Rifle - what ignites the petrol?
grenades - probably have some electronic parts, sensors, and detonator.
The others you mentioned are probably missing the Analog tag.
The Crossbolter and Bow grenade arrows probably aren't analog.
Flame Pistol/Rifle - what ignites the petrol?
The flamethrower heavy weapon is analog. It could be as simple as a spark from a lighter.
I realize that I could be overthinking it, but the fact that they don't require batteries is why I think they should be analog. Most weapons have batteries, mention being powered, or are analog. The ones I mentioned are the outliers.
I'd list them in the potential errors thread.

I could... I mainly wanted to make sure I understood how it worked rather than assuming it's an error. :)
Maybe there is less to the Analog flag than I expected.
