Ballistic weapons are ranged weapons that primarily use ballistic ammo, such as 7.77mm or .45 Caliber. Although the unique pistol pistol Radburn deals multiple types of damage, it uses 7.77mm ammo and will count as a ballistic weapon. An exception to this would be weapons in the Heavy Weapons category that fire the explosive 40mm XPL ammo such as the Negotiator or the Ashta Tamer.
