ARASAKA "SUIGYU"

This enormous rifle truly more than most can handle. Designed for use with prototype powered armor and vehicle mounts, it is possible for a strong man to carry and fire, though any doing so are strongly encouraged to do so only from a prone position. The primary purpose of this weapon is anti-armor. [05]

TSUNAMI ARMS TYPE 62

A 40mm mini-missile launcher capable of being either man portable or easily mountable on vehicles and fired electrically. Special targeting sensors and heat dispersion vents make the weapon more accurate and safer to fire in crowded situations. [11]

CCMMC RPG-B16

A Chinese bazooka styled rocket launcher, featuring a weighted rear lug for better counter balance, which vastly improves aim and makes it easier to keep the weapon steady. The rocket itself is noteworthy due to the fact that all the weapons propellant is stored in the stem, which falls away activating 4 pop out fins on the explosive head which keep the rocket flying straight onto its target. [08]

ARASAKA "MAXIMUS"

Now here is a scary concept, a fully automatic machine gun that comes electro-thermally enhanced. It seems they have overcome the heat problem by utilizing a special refrigeration system on the barrel and action of the weapon. The cooling system kicks in as soon as the weapon begins firing and is controlled by an electrical switch in the trigger mechanism. Thinking ahead the cooling system was designed along with the ETE battery, so both power source and Freon charge must be recharged after every 1000 shots. [04]

TOWA GU-12

A Towa made micro-missile launcher firing the new 40mm size missiles. [12]

MILITECH "TYSON"

The latest in surface to air weapons, the Tyson fires a heat seeking fire and forget missile with state of the art tracking technology. The most remarkable thing about the weapon is that is also useful against ground targets, and for this purpose there is a switch on the weapon, allowing it to convert to a wire guided anti-tank weapon with enormous effectiveness. [01]

ARASAKA M-78

A dual purpose missile launcher from Arasaka. For anti-tank purposes the fired missile is wire guided to target, but for anti-aircraft purposes the weapon introduces an entirely new device. It’s called the VITA system, the missile itself has a small camera mounted to it, which transmits the video back to the weapon's eyepiece. The weapon controls the missile by remote though controls added to the weapons grips. The computer, receiver, and other electronics for this system are stored in a small box about the size of a gas can, and are jacked into the weapon prior to it being fired. [08]

MILITECH BAZ-12 "FOLDING RPG"

The Baz-12 was supposed designed to make it possible for vehicle crews to carry heavy firepower, without taking up too much space, as well as a more portable RPG for U.S. military personnel. However, the BAZ-12 folds up into such a small package that it can easily fit inside most large suitcases or duffel bags. Due to this the weapon has become extremely popular with black ops teams, and unfortunately, terrorists. [09]

ARASAKA "DEVASTATOR"

This weapon is impossible to fire without a gyrostabilizer mount and at least a body of 10, at least if you want to survive the experience. Any human attempting to fire this weapon without a gyro stabilization mount will take 1d6+2 points of bruise damage regardless of body type, any human with a bod of 10 or lower (15 without the powered gyro-stabilization mount) firing this weapon must also roll a ten sided die, on a 5 or lower his shoulder is shattered. Also without a stabilization mount, any human firing the weapon, regardless of BOD will be flung back wards 2D6 feet unless thoroughly braced.) [03]

COLT MG-678

A very nicely designed, easy to maintain machine gun from colt, the MG-678 accepts either a 30 round box magazine, a 100 round drum, or belted ammunition. [07]

MILITECH TOW-15

The largest man portable rocket launcher available, eliminate anything with this. It fires a very deadly and very large wire guided missile. [10]

TSUNAMI ARMS OZ06

A very simple MG, with a huge drum magazine. For less snag, and ease of carrying the shoulder stock unfolds. [14]

ROYAL ENFIELD CB-79

Easy to operate, incredibly effective. The CB-79 is one of Europe’s favorite anti-armor weapons. [16]

ROSTOVIC "GORBA"

A Russian bazooka, popular to Eastern Europe, African, Chinese, and South American militaries. [15]

CCMMC MGR

A Chinese military machinegun, the folding fore grip is a nice touch. Able to accept an 80 round magazine or belt fed ammunition. [06]
