Can anybody point me to the official ruling on this?
High-Tech p.198 under Clubs:
Rifle Butt (TL4). Striking end-on with the butt of a shoulder arm uses
the Staff skill and inflicts thr+2 crushing. Holding the gun by the
barrel and swinging it like a baseball bat requires the Two-Handed
Axe/Mace skill, does sw+3 crushing, and is only advisable with TL4-5
single-shot muskets and rifles (which are built for it) the GM may
require a HT roll to avoid breakage for other firearms. In general,
TL4-6 long arms have Reach 1, 2*, while TL7-8 models are Reach 1.
Sidearms use Pistol Whipping (p. 93).
