From my experience, Shadowrun is a good place to start, if not gather inspiration for a custom system off. Sure, the mages stole all the friggin glory, but even chars which were completely tech and weapon heavy could do a thing or two with the rules.
're gunplay mechanics could have used a little tweaking IMO
i am somewhat familiar with Shadowrun, i'm decently familiar with the setting. the main problems, and the reason we use DW, is that DnD in general is... well... very fucking complicated. Dungeon World plays quite differently, and is far more approachable for new players, while vets might need to unlearn some things.
that and DW is 100% free to use and stuff. and i don't know if SR is the same.
