Stracher P-11M
One of the most powerful pistols ever, the P-11M packs a strong punch with its 11mm

The Stracher SS-7 is the only mass-produced air rifle currently in use as a hunting weapon
(although a variety of low-power air rifles are used for recreational target shooting). The
weapon is powered by compressed air from a central reservoir, which holds sufficient
pressure for 20 shots at high pressure and 30 more at low pressure. The weapon can be
recharged by hand, but only to the low pressure level.

Rockwell ‘Twelve Eighty-One Magnum’


Deservedly enjoying a reputation as the most powerful sporting rifle in known space, the 12-
81 can only be fired from a rest with the integral bipod extended, and even then the provision
of an in-stock shock absorber is necessary to avoid injury. The weapon was designed to
provide killing capability against the giant lizards of Wolf-424B-1, but has since enjoyed
wide use in the armed forces of several nations as a long-range sniper rifle. The French FTE-
10 Gauss rifle is in many ways a more modern version of the Rockwell 12-81 Magnum.

Traylor Model 40 ‘Super Trench Boom’


Newly issued to the USMC in 2303, the "STB" as it's affectionately known to Marines is a
devastating automatic shotgun now in general issue to all Marine units on the Kafer Frontier.
This weapon is a true killing machine, in the words of one Marine NCO, ‘this thing will tear
the f***ing faces off of those bugs!’ Needless to say, Traylor is finding it can't make
weapons fast enough to keep up with demand.

CASA-14
The new service weapon of the Mexican/Argentinean Armed Forces is a FAM-90 knockoff
with no real innovations and it is often questioned as to why FAM-90s were not purchased
instead. It is a good weapon, but is a considerable waste of funds.

StG-84 (Sturmgewehr 2284)


The StG-84 is an Austrovenian design based strongly on the Brazilian BF-1, though
incorporating improvements (most notably variable muzzle velocity) which were considered
groundbreaking back in 2284. Unfortunately, the design was relatively heavy, and quite
expensive in its time, and failed to find much of an international market. Note that the StG-84
is built around the same ammunition used by the BF-1 and magazines are interchangeable.

Brazil

Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1
The Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1 was the first mass-produced binary propellant rifle in use, but it
has now been replaced by more modern weapon designs. Even when in frontline service, the
Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1 binary propellant weapon's performance was always considered to be
disappointing.
The Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1 currently remains widely used only because it was originally
produced in extremely large numbers. While the Ramirez-Abruggo BF-1 was initially quite
expensive to produce, surplus models are now generally available for purchase at a fairly
inexpensive price.

has paid off and resulted in a superb weapon. It is currently issued only to frontline units due
to the large numbers of BF-1s in service.

Canada

CFARG C-28
The C-28 is a unique weapon developed by the Canadian Federal Armaments Research
Group and has started entering service in 2299. The weapon itself is similar to many caseless
ammunition weapons currently in service, its main difference being in the ammunition. Each
round is a 10mm solid fuel rocket slug with three tiny vents angled to impart a stabilizing
spin on the bullet (burn lasts six to seven metres). The weapon also incorporates an electronic
battlesight. The C-28 is known as the M-10 ARL in Amercian service.

weapon of its type and many an example can be found throughout human space in the hands
of militias, colonists and security forces.

The standard infantry weapon of first-line French infantry, the FAM-90 Gauss rifle fires
single shots at high velocity, giving good aimed fire accuracy, and fires bursts at a much
lower velocity, giving the rifle excellent controllability on automatic fire. The optic sights
incorporate a low-power laser range finder for aimed fire. An HR-17 30mm grenade launcher
is mounted below the barrel.

in private hands, as well as in the hands of many smaller armed forces and militias.
The Sturmgewehr-2277 was originally produced under license in Japan as the Type-79
assault rifle, and it remains in use as Japan's standard service weapon.

Rorttmann SK-19 (Sturm Karabiner 19)


Now the standard service weapon of the German Army, the SK-19 is clearly a progressive
development of the Traylor Arms M-2 Assault Rifle. The main improvements over the M-2
consist of the substitution of a reliable binary propellant system for fixed cartridges and the
inclusion of an integral 30mm grenade launcher in the stock below the barrel. The binary
propellant system includes a muzzle velocity governor keyed to the fire selector, patterned
after that on the French FAM-90. When on the burst setting, muzzle velocity is considerably
reduced giving an extremely controllable automatic weapon. The resulting combination of a
high rate of fire, ease of control, the shattering punch of the 9mm APHE round, and the
option of 30mm grenade fire makes the SK-19 the most devastating close-in assault weapon
in service anywhere.

Just recently being issued to the German Marine Corps (Deutsche Marine Korps), this is an

operations on Joi where German Marines sang its praises far and wide. It's compact, effective
and fires a devastating 5.5mm Gauss round, it's also more reliable than its French FAM-90
counterpart, which, of course, upsets the French.

Manchuria

Storm Gun Type-81


Shortly before the Central Asian War, there was a flurry of interest in man-carried heavy
calibre "storm guns," mostly brought on by Manchuria's adoption of the Type-81. The storm
gun was intended to provide light anti-vehicle and anti-bunker fire, and the exploding round
was expected to give a good area fire capability. In services, however, the weapon proved
disappointing so although it is still in service, no replacement is planned, and private interest
in this type of weapon has largely dried up. One problem with early versions involved the
exposed recoil cylinder of the telescoping shock absorbing shoulder stock. Sand and grit
27
contaminated the lubricants of the cylinder, fouling it to the point that Manchurian troops
(those not discarding the weapon altogether) were often forced to brace the shoulder stock
against a rock or tree when firing. After the Central Asian War, most Type-81s were fitted
with a flexible fabric stock cover to prevent this.

Wu-Beijing Type-49
The Wu-Beijing Type-49 Assault Rifle is unique among modern military arms, its uniqueness
stemming for a return to an older design which uses a trigger-magazine-barrel design layout
rather than the more efficient "bullpup" layout (a magazine-trigger-barrel design).
The Type-49 trigger-magazine-barrel design layout results in a longer rifle with no gain in
effective barrel length, a shortcoming the Type-95 dealt with by shortening the barrel to
carbine length and providing the weapon with a folding stock. With the stock folded, the
weapon is very handy, but aimed fire is effectively impossible.

Wu-Beijing Type-80
Manchuria’s first venture into the field of bullpup weaponry, the Type-80 is an upgrade of the
aging Type-49. Besides improved accuracy, it packs an integral 30mm GL. However, it was
deemed too costly and no need was seen for a Type-49 replacement. Therefore, the Type-80
was only adopted in small numbers.

Many, however, believe that it is simple conservatism on the part of the Manchurian
procurement department. But the weapon is tried true and simple, and most importantly,
cheap.

of hired mercenaries of the French Arm. In fact, this weapon became the trademark of men
who were for hire, and as such is an institution in and of itself.

The FTE-8 was the standard French sniper rifle of the Central Asian War period. It was
replaced by the FTE-10 before the War of German Reunification due to that weapon's greater
punch which made it capable of taking on light armoured vehicles. However the FTE-8 with
its bullpup layout is a less bulky and unwieldy weapon and remains popular with dedicated
snipers.

M-79 (Mitrailleuse 2279)


The M-79 is the weapon used in the majority of French vehicular and static support roles.
Since coming into general service in 2282 it has seen action in 4 wars and has been found to
be a robust and reliable system. Although moves are underway to replace it with the new
Gauss MM-79, French troops are reluctant to give up their M-79s for a weapon with
considerably less firepower just to keep up with the trend.
