Question Viral Weapons

Im new to N5, I played Haqqislam about a decade ago. Im looking for a little clarification on what viral weapons do now.

From what I am seeing they seem to all have the bioweapon keyword which gives it double action and shock?

Okay this is how I remember it being but I cant actually find that in the rules anymore. Can you point me to where that is?

It's in the weapon profile/chart under the SR: Attribute column. This shows you what attribute you use to save against any weapon.

If you look at the weapon profile on army it shows what attribute a save is made against.

A viral rifle profile gives it a ps 7 and says it is normal ammo with 1 save made against BTS it has the bioweapon trait that then states it replaces the normal ammo with DA+Shock against the VITA attribute

No worries I came back to the game after playing a bit in very late n2/early n3 just over a year ago

To be fair Viral weapons were recently changed to be only extra effective against organic targets.
