Smith & Wesson 686 Revolver
|
|
Weight: 2.6 lbs (1.1kg)
Price Range: C17000-19000
Damage Modifier: x13
|
Type: Antique Revolver
Range: Eff. - 165 feet (50m)
Max. - 6700 feet (2050m)
Magazine Capacity: 7-Shot Rotating Cylinder,
357 Magnum or 38 Special
|
First produced in the 1980s, the 686 revolver was among the most popular
revolver-type handguns made during the late 20th and early 21st century. The
durable stainless steel revolver enjoyed the distinction of having the
largest number produced of its kind.
As such, many surviving examples still exist. It is not unusual to find the
gun as a primary use service pistol in many third world nations, and the 686
is still common on the black market. Due to the worldwide prevalence of the
potent 357 Magnum and common 38 Special cartridges, both are still widely
manufactured abroad.

Colt 1911 Pistol
|
|
Weight: 2.4 pounds (1.0kg)
Price Range: C20000-27000
Damage Modifier: x15
|
Type: Antique Pistol
Range: Eff. - 165 feet (50m)
Max. - 6540 feet (2000m)
Magazine Capacity: 8-shot Clip, 45 ACP
|
Originally designated the Automatic Cartridge Pistol(ACP), Model of 1911 by
the United States Army of World War I, this old warhorse has seen more
action than just about any other gun in existence. M1911 variants continued
to be produced and improved upon (though the basic design remained the same)
until the mid 2030s due to several revivals of the extremely powerful 45 ACP
cartridge in both military and law-enforcement service.
So many 1911 pistols and variations were produced and used in so many
countries that nearly unused 1911s still exist, and servicable copies of
many vintages show no signs of dissapearing from circulation. 45 ACP
cartridges are also readily available in many countries, and circulate
freely on the black market in bulk.
Since being relegated to secondary markets, the 1911 has regained its old
reputation for jamming at inconvenient times, though this can often be
resolved with proper maintainance. The antiquated pistol is often prefered
to modern machine pistol designs due to its compact size.

M9 Pistol
|
|
Weight: 2.6 lbs (1.1kg)
Price Range: C16000-20000
Damage Modifier: x10
|
Type: Antique Pistol
Range: Eff. - 165 feet (50m)
Max. - 5900 feet (1800m)
Magazine Capacity: 10 or 15-Shot Clip,
9mm Parabellum
|
The M9 pistol is based on the civillian Beretta 92FS pistol which is now
exceedingly rare. The M9, however, is not. Adopted as the official service
pistol of the United States and early Americorp from the 1980s until the
late 2020s, this pistol was produced in the hundreds of thousands and widely
exported.
Exceedingly reliable, the M9 was faulted only for the disputed stopping
power of its 9mm cartridge. Though the round was used in numerous firearms,
anecdotal evidence of individuals being shot numerous times and continuing
to engage police and military personnel spoiled its complete acceptance in
America, eventually leading to the gun's review and dismissal from service.
Still, the weapon had many staunch supporters, and by all objective
standards the gun was an effective military sidearm.
While not as durable or as prevalent as the 1911, the M9 is still known as a
reliable firearm, and is far easier to conceal than a machine pistol.

Colt Anaconda Revolver
|
|
Weight: 2.6 lbs (1.1kg)
Price Range: C18000-21000
Damage Modifier: x13
|
Type: Antique Revolver
Range: Eff. - 165 feet (50m)
Max. - 6215 Feet (1900m)
Magazine Capacity: 6-Shot Cylinder,
44 Magnum
|
Another once-extremely-popular handgun, the 1960s-vintage Anaconda is still
around in its stainless steel version. At one time considered the world's
most powerful handgun, the Anaconda eventually lost out to the fearsome 50
AE round and the guns that chambered it. Even so, the 44 Magnum cartridge
remains a force to be reckoned with.
Though Americorp laws prohibit the ownership or sale of 44 Magnum
ammunition, the worldwide acceptance of the cartridge and revolvers such as
this sustains the supply for those who seek it out.
