Weapons

Handguns

Armstrom M-1132 12mm Caseless Machine Pistol : The M-1132 Mp was designed for lower-tech private security forces. It is a 12mm caseless selective-fire weapon that utilizes an electronic ignition. It is easily concealed, being only 31cm in length. It mounts a low capacity magazine that can be emptied in one second. The M-1132 has three rates of fire. A slight pressure on the trigger brings a single shot. Increased pressure triggers a three-round burst ( RoF 3 ), and fully depressing the trigger brings full-automatic fire ( RoF 15 ). Effective range: 75m

Charter Arms Pit Bull: This is a small 9mm pistol from the late 20th century. Used primarily for undercover law enforcement, and as a backup weapon. Range: 160m.

Colt 1911-A1: This weapon design has been around for centuries with very few changes in style or mechanism. For decades, it was the official sidearm in the U.S. military, until it was phased out in favor of a 9mm ( for the better armor penetration ). The weapon remained popular with civilians, and is still popular with those who prefer more stopping power than a 9mm. Range: 160m.

Colt 2011-A1: This weapon was designed in 2011 as a successor to the venerable 1911. While it lacked the damage of the 1911, it had a higher stopping power than a 9mm, but it penetrated armor just as well, and it had an extended ammunition capacity. Range: 310m.

Colt Ram Python: This weapon was actually designed by Marrson Optics ( the producers of the popular Night Stalker ). This is a large, four-shot revolver. It can penetrate heavy armor normally. Barrel length ranges 6-24 cm, and it gains a +1% accuracy for every two cm of length for 45 cr. Requires a Strength of 75 to fire two-handed ( -1% accuracy per two points below ), and a Strength of 95 to fire one-handed . Range: 350m

HK P-9: This is an excellent 9mm pistol from Heckler and Koch. Range: 160m.

HK VP-70: This is one of the more interesting weapons from Heckler and Koch. It is a fine 9mm pistol, but when the shoulder stock is attached, it turns into a lead-spewing machine of death. Actually, it just gains the ability to fire three-round bursts (ROF: 3 ). Accuracy in three-round burst mode is -10% normal. Range: 151m.

Manurhin MR-73: This is a fine piece of weaponry. Range: 200m.

Ruger Redhawk: This is a high-quality .44 magnum revolver from Ruger. Range: 230m.

SW M-66: This is a good quality high-powered revolver from Smith and Wesson. Range: 215m.

Wildey: This is one of the most powerful handguns ever produced in the 20th century. It fires .475 magnum rounds ( actually modified elephant rounds ). Range: 325m.

Projectiles

Armstrom Model 10 X-10 Crossbow: The X-10 crossbow was designed for silent work ( especially for elite Special Forces ). It is made of lightweight plastics, ceramics and Flex Steel. It uses a small battery to power the mechanical cocking action. The X-10 mounts a six-round magazine, and can accept any kind of specialized crossbow bolt. The X-10 can also mount any kind of enhanced optical system designed for rifles. The X-10 has a very high damage yield for it's class of weapon due to it's unusually high draw weight of 300 kg ( 660 .lbs ). Effective range: 200m

Rifles

Browning BAR: This is a very old design of one of the first automatic rifles. It is not the most reliable of designs, but it is not the poorest either. Range: 751m.

Dragunov SVD: This was the standard sniping rifle of the Soviet Empire for many years. In addition to being very accurate, it is one of the most durable and rugged weapons ever designed. Range: 800m

SIG-Sauer SSG-2000: This is a fair quality bolt-action sniping rifle from SIG. Range: 780m.

SSG-69: Range: 800m.

Steyr Anti-Material Rifle ( AMR ): This is one of the most powerful rifles designed in the 20th century. It fires 5mm flechette rounds encased in a 15mm sabot. It has excellent armor penetration capabilities. It affects heavy armor normally. The weapon id nearly 2m in length, and has an integral bipod. Range: 1600m.

Steyr M-30 Anti-Material Rifle: The Steyr M-30 was designed early in the 21st century. It is virtually identical to the AMR, but has a much higher weight due to the automatic firing mechanism and heavier recoils system. Effective range: 2000m

X-Ray Lasers

X-Ray lasers are a Tech Level 8 invention. Both the technology and materials to produce them have recently become feasible. These weapons fire coherent beams of x-rays. They are extremely useful against both body armor and Flux Shields. Against body armor, the weapons reduce the effective threshold by six points ( -6 ). They reduce armor integrity by one point, and inflict double damage to absorption polymers. Reflective, laser-resistant armor provides no benefit against x-ray lasers.

Against Flux Shields, there is a damage x2% chance that the beam will penetrate the shield outright. Otherwise, it inflicts one0half damage to the shield.

X-Ray lasers are powered by non-rechargeable backpacks that have an encumbrance of 20, and cost 10% of the weapon's cost.

There are currently three models of x-ray laser on the market.

Piercer: This model is produced by the Metalwerks Corporation. It is one hell of a weapon, combining range, damage, and shot capacity into one neat package. It is well worth the price. Range: 1500m, Encumbrance: 10.

ICU: Is there anything the Balshrom Corporation doesn't have their hands in? The ICU is another excellent weapon from the company that knows weapons. The damage yield is a little low for this class, but the range is exceptional. Range: 2000m, Encumbrance: 12.

Xapper: This comes from the Marrson Electronics. It hits hard in the short range, but it is prone to pack explosion ( subsequent to malfunction, roll 1D100. If a 81 or higher results, treat it as a double-powered Suicide Bomb, plus anyone within 20m must roll an SMR versus Radiation or suffer 2D4 damage with a 25% chance to contract cancer within 6 months ). Range: 175m, Encumbrance: 16.
