For ape weapons I would use the existing bullet pistol and rifle stats but make them -1 CS on accuracy due to crude workmanship.

The underground mutants are fairly easy to stat out.

Stat Chuck Heston's character Taylor with higher than normal astronaut stats to emulate the film.

Dr. Zira : That's not fair, we thought you were inferior .

Taylor: Now you know better.


YEAH BOOOYYY

Karma is once again a really appropriate statistic for this setting, not just in the pure life-death situations but for example Taylor's churlishness with other humans at the beginning costing him Karma so he escapes death - but not by much (rendered mute).
"Ape shall never kill Ape" is interesting as well because although Apes THINK killing humans isn't Bad Karma for them, we know different! smiling smiley

I think someone did, but not extensively, like one or two characters. That was long long ago.
