High Standard M10A, 12-gauge (historical)

This is a bullpup shotgun using a tubular magazine. The buttstock swivels for bracing against the inside arm, allowing reasonably accurate one-handed fire (Rcl -4). There is also a flashlight mounted atop the weapon, focused such that the shot pattern hits the center of the beam (SS -1, Acc +1, not useable in bright light). Five round tube is 1 lb.

Simms AS-12/10 Assault Shotgun (original)

This is a fully automatic .410 gauge shotgun, styled like an AK-47. Though it lacks the damage of the Atchisson (see below), it handles better in automatic fire. Rifle-type sights are provided as well as a sling and bayonet lug. Other vision aids may be added. Shot is $10 per 50, and APDS slugs (4d dam, Acc 7, triple ranges) are $100 per 50. Preloaded clips normally alternate shotshells and slugs for maxiumum carnage.

Atchisson 12-gauge Automatic Shotgun (historical)

This weapon is fully automatic, firing from either a 10 round clip (2 lbs) or a 21 round drum (4 lbs). It is styled roughly like the M-16 and can mount various vision aids. A sling and bayonet lug is provided.

ArmsTech 12-gauge Slaymaster (original ?)

This odd double barrel shotgun appears as an over-under arrangement with a pair of 8 round clips feeding into the top and bottom of the receiver. Each barrel may be fired separately or together (using a double trigger). If fired together and ST is under 15, Rcl is -4 and the firer must make a DX roll to avoid being knocked down. A side-by-side arrangement was abandoned due to problems ejecting spent shells.

Alley Sweeper 4mm Flechette Gun (original)

This large and very leathal weapon resembles a drum-fed shotgun, but its shells contain tungsten darts rather than lead pellets, doing impaling damage. Each shell holds 8 darts; use automatic fire rules for the number of hits. APDS slugs, doing 10d(2) at triple range, are also available. Flechette and APDS ammo is 1 lb per 12 rounds.

Beretta M3P, 12-gauge (historical)

Like the SPAS-12, this shotgun may operate by semi-auto or pump action. Unlike the SPAS-12, the Beretta uses a box magazine.

E.M.1 and E.M.2 (historical)

These were .280-cal (7mm) bullpup assault rifles developed in Great Britain shortly after WWII. Both resembled the later 5.56mm L85, though the E.M.1 had a more rounded and 'futuristic' appearance than the E.M.2. They were abandoned after the political decision was made to use the 7.62mm NATO round.

StG 44 Assault Rifle, 7.92mm Kurtz (historical)

The grandaddy of all assault rifles, the StG 44 (earlier versions were known as the MP 42, MP 43 and StG 43) was a fully automatic German WWII rifle which fired cut down 7.92mm rifle rounds. The AK-47 is very similar to the StG 44, and the Russian 7.62mm short round is almost an exact copy of the German 7.92mm short.

FG 42 Automatic Rifle, 7.92x57mm (historical)

Another German WWII invention, the FG 42 was a very remarkable weapon produced in small numbers (~5000) for paratrooper use. Unlike the StG 44, it fires full sized 7.92mm rounds, using an unusual left-side clip feed. The gun comes with a folding bipod (of questionable reliability) and a spike-type bayonet which folds back under the barrel when not in use. Recoil is kept down through a heavy muzzle brake, a two-piece, straight-line shoulder stock with a heavy spring.

SKS Carbine, 7.62x39mm (historical)

The rifle, and not the AK-47, was the first to use the 7.62x39mm Russian round. The rifle uses a charger-loaded integral magazine, though some later versions have removeable clips. It comes with a integral bayonet (treat as a small knife) which folds back under the barrel whin not in use. Though termed a carbine, it was designed to be the tactical equivalent of the M-1/M-14 rifles.

Type 99 Long Rifle (historical)

This 7.7mm rifle was a standard weapon of the Japanese army during WWII. The Type 99 comes with a folding wire monopod for prone support and an unusual rear sight with folding arms to aid in firing at aircraft. An inferior model was introduced in 1943.

Type 38 (M1905) Rifle (historical)

This 6.5mm rifle dates back to the Russo-Japanese War, but was still widely used by Japan in WWII. Various derivatives were made, including the Type 44 carbine (8.9 lbs, a non-removable folding bayonet) and Type 97 (the sniper version with a telescopic sight).

M1 Carbine, .30-cal (historical)

Designed to replace the rifle, SMG and pistol in the Army, the carbine found more success as a civilian sporting rifle due to low weight and light recoil. The M1A1 was specifically designed for paratroopers, using a folding stock. The M2 introduced the 30-round banana clip (also useable on the M1) and had ROF 10* and Malf 16 when auto-fired. M1s are not difficult to convert to full auto, and weapons with worn parts sometimes accidentaly experience automatic fire. A sling and bayonet lug are standard, with folding stocks available.

H&K G-11, 4.7mm (historical)

This is the experimental German 4.7mm (at one time 4.93mm) caseless automatic rifle. The magazine is located above and parallel to the barrel, with fresh rounds chambered by being rotated 90 degrees. Two additional (spare) magazines may be stored on either side of it. There are three modes of fire: Semi-automatic, three-round burst (Rcl -1) or full auto (recoil is added every other burst).

M-131 Sub-Assault Rifle, 6x42mm (original)

The M-131 SAR is a 6mm caseless rifle cut down to the size of an MP-5 (basically, an M-16 without buttstock and only a half-length barrel). The M-131 uses several methods to keep recoil down, and fires from a 50 round four-column magazine ($30, 2 lbs).

The PAWS is a bullpup-style rifle about 2' long. Ammo is caseless and is $15 per magazine. The weapon comes with a sling and may be smart-linked, but cannot mount a bayonet or 40mm grenade launcher (10-30mm grenade launchers and standard rifle grenades may be used, however).

Boys .55 Anti-Tank Rifle (historical)

This hefty gun was developed in the early 1930's to combat the current breed of tanks (which were little changes since 1918), but quickly became obsolete. Still, a few were used sporadically during WWII, and some that are around today have been converted to .50-cal. The gun is fired from a rest (the folding legs are included in weight below), but is still dangerous to the firer. He must make a HT+4 roll each time the gun is fired or take 2d6 damage to the firing arm (or shoulder).
