A while back I offered, if there was intrest (there was), to post some

based arms maker/importer that has recently opened an outlet in Seattle.
I think these items may be of intrest. Comments are welcome/wanted.

knife and two complex actions to remove it. It is not
possible to shoot a gun or use any other weapon or tool
with the hand using the trench knife.

for the discriminating Sportsman, the Super Bison is a
ideal choice as a back-up weapon for the big game hunter
or fisherman. The Super Bison heavy pistol combines the
impact of a rifle with the carrying convenience of a
pistol.

hearing protection, when it is fired incures a +1 target
modifier for subsiquent shots. Effect lasts for two
turns. This pistol uses custom ammuintion.

into a rectangular box 26 x 8.5 x 3.5 cm. Deployable into
firing configuration in under 3 seconds, the FSMG can

Note: It takes 2 complex actions to assemble this LMG
from its case. (2 subsequent complex actions by one
person or 2 simultaneous complex actions by two
individuals. The 7 concealability only applies when it is
in its carrying case other wise it is a 3.


Springfield Industries M279: This doubled barrel mini-
grenade launcher was produced as a direct competitor to
the HK169. Collapsible stock, integral Smartgun and
grenade Links, and its quick second shot capability all
without an increase of concealability make this the
launcher of choice.

combat engineer can create a man-sized opening instantly.

was a bit noisy.]<<<<<
