First off, I'm guessing these are all batteries based on descriptions and capacities, but they're not listed in the weapon stats.
Since these aren't from a hardcover, I don't expect we'll see a faq or errata on them, but here's a simple question anyways:
What kind of ammunition do the following weapons use, if any?
The weapons from 'Flight of the Sleepers':
Binding Blaster (Orb & Globe)
Recombinator Ray
Reality Rifle
The living weapons from 'The Cradle Infestation':
Frost Maw (Roar, Growl, & Snarl-class)
Moon Splinter (Gibbous, Crescent, Full, & New)
The moon splinter weapons look like a hot mess. While the description mentions using a battery, it also says they shoot ice - which is only reflected in two of the weapons. The other two do electric damage and have suspiciously identical stats.
Anyone seen a different answer or have another opinion?
Gray weapon stats are on pg 45 of Flight of the Sleepers.
I don't have The Cradle Infestation, but look in the backmatter article for their equipment.
Yes, most of the stats are there, but under "capacity" these weapons all list a number and nothing else. So something is probably missing. Either a type (like charges, rounds, petrol, etc.), a note about the weapons recharging each day, or a note about them being disposable after using up their charges.
I think it's safe to assume that it's not a coincidence that all of these capacities match up with battery charge sizes.

Agreed. Don't forget that the ice weapons in the core book also use batteries. The intro text says they just process the chemicals themselves, so you don't need to stock ice and laser and plasma separately.
