How to use this bookThis book is a supplement to the Ops and Tactics RPG system, expanding the armor and firearm selection of the base Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook. This book is to used as a reference book, expanding the selection of firearms in the game, beyond the core rulebook, as well as a learning tool, to better understand each category of firearm, their intended uses, and tactics to use and develop on.

For GMs, this book can be used when building campaigns, to provide a more real-world feeling to the NPCs, providing them with believable weaponry, as well as fitting tactics.

Building a CampaignWhen building a campaign, your first question should always be “What kind of Campaign am I making?”. This question is asked, to determine how important, if at all, will firearms be in your campaign. Should multiple gunsin different calibers make an appearance, or is everyone wielding 9x19mm? If the campaign is going to be action packed, then the details and intricacies should be fitting. The campaign should focus less on the simple interactions with the NPCs, and more on the action and fights. Likewise, if the campaign is heavily focused on drama, then the roleplay aspect of this should be focused on rather than the accessories to their primary sidearms. Be sure to ask your players what kind of game they wish to participate in, and use their answers to design around that type of campaign. If you do decide to run a game that is heavy on firearms, then this book will be a valuable asset. You can look up various firearms and manufacturers, and your players can decide and choose the firearms they wish to possess and use. Even if you do not choose to run a campaign that is heavy on firearms, this book is still useful to you. When firearms do appear, you can use the listings to select the right fitting firearm, as well as use the manufacturers notes to flush out the campaign more.

This book focuses on military and tactical weapons. Coverage in this area is as comprehensive as possible. It includes all major types in service today, as well as a few cutting-edge designs that are just emerging, as well as an array of sporting weapons. This book also talks about weapons of past wars, including various examples from the past two World Wars, the Korean War, and the American Civil War.

The weapons are classified into categories, separated by chapter:

Preamble: Manufactures and History. This preface talks about some of the various manufacturers in the book, and what firearms they are famous, or infamous, for creating, as well as a bit of history of the company.

Chapter One: Handguns. This chapter includes both pistols and revolvers, of various types and sizes, and is splitby their classifications. All pistols are compact, easily portable weapons. They are useful for a broad range of applications, including target shooting, hunting, personal protection, and police service. Pistols are generally small, which makes them the easiest firearms to conceal however, they lack the hitting power of rifles or shotguns and, as such, are of limited military use, generally being reserved for officers, or as primary weapons for those who do not normally carry a rifle.

Chapter Two: Personal Defense Weapons. This Chapter includes everything from the smaller Machine Pistol, to the larger Sub-machine guns. These weapons generally pack more of a punch than their smaller pistol counterparts, by having a larger magazine than a standard sidearm handgun, as well as by adding the ability of automatic fire of some type, or by firing a larger, heavier round. These weapons are generally reserved for those that wish to have more firepower than a handgun, but don't quite need the noise and size of a full fledged rifle, or even a short barrel carbine. PDWs are popular with Counter-terrorist members, SWAT, and Tank crewmen forthis use.

3

Chapter Three: Rifles. This chapter covers from the long-barreled, high-powered Anti-material weapons to the shortened, close range carbine rifle. Generally suited for everything from patrol work, to house clearing, to long range engagement, these weapons span both civilian, and military applications. They're popular with armies all over the world, and are often issued as such.

Chapter Four: Shotguns. Shotguns describes large-bore weapons designed to fire a group of smaller projectiles with each shot. Shotguns are useful for close-in targets, but much less effective at long range; they tend to be used as specialty weapons for close combat, as well as for hunting large game. Because of their large bores and low firing pressure, shotguns are capable of firing a variety of special-purpose and exotic ammunition types.

Chapter Five: Machine Guns. Machine Guns cover heavy weapons designed for sustained automatic fire. They are often fed by long belts of ammunition, which reduce the need to reload as often. All but the lightest are fittedwith bipods for stability. Machine guns serve as support weapons, providing suppressive or covering fire for ordinary soldiers equipped with assault rifles.

Chapter Six: Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers and Mortars. These weapons describes large weapons that fire explosive shells or rockets with an explosive payload. They are often large and heavy and, like machine guns, they are used to provide fire support, as well as take out armored targets or buildings from a long range distance. Like shotguns, there exist a large variety of specialty ammunition types. Grenade launchers are split into two groups: grenade launchers are designed to fit under the barrel of an assault rifle, creating a dual-purpose combination weapon systems, and Grenade Launchers capable of being used on their own, creating a stand alone weapon.

Chapter Seven: Black Powder Weapons. Black Powder weapons are weapons that use loose black powder, a wad, and a plain lead ball, as well as a percussion cap to fire the lead ball. Once prolific in the wild west and the American Civil War, these weapons have been seated to collectors and hobbyist who still enjoy shooting like long ago.

Chapter Eight: New Equipment and Gunsmithing. This chapter outlines rules for more complete gunsmithing, as well as new types of ammunition and equipment, and their effects.

Chapter Nine: Weapons in Use. This chapter talks about the firearms that are assigned to federal and state agents such as agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Marshalls and the Drug Enforcement Administration, as well as the general weapons trends of various forces, both legal and illegal, and the general populace.

Chapter 1:Handguns

“I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” ~ Harry Callahan

A handgun is a firearm designed to have the potential to be held and operated by one hand, although not necessarily used that way. This characteristic differentiates handguns as a general class of firearms from long guns such as rifles and shotguns (which are usually mounted against the shoulder). Major handgun subtypes are the revolver and pistol, and are split into various subtypes based on size and use.

There are handguns that are available to suit nearly any budget. Low-cost models featuring simple operating systems, crude manufacturing, and low-quality materials are widely produced. while more reliable and sophisticated service weapons that are suitable for more active use form the middle of themarket. At the high end are advanced custom pistols, produced for Olympic-class target shooting, exclusive private collections, or specialized forces, such as SWAT.

Handguns differ from long guns in the fact that they are generally regarded as more personal weapons: The style, model, and even caliber, can tell quite a lot about a character, and they are generally selected by hand, rather than issued. Handgun selection generally mirrors personal preference out in combat, more so than long guns as a handgun is generally always worn, and only drawn when needed. They are also easier to conceal than a long gun, allowing for a seemingly unarmed appearance when worn with the correct holster and clothing. A handgun should always be chosen carefully, the character’s personality, backstory, and preference should definitely have some sway and appearance in their choice.

Revolvers

A revolver is a repeating firearm that has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing. Capacity for a revolver can be as little as 3 rounds, and as many as 10, but 5 and 6 round cylinders are the most common. Revolvers predated semi-automatic pistols, praised in their time for their ability to fire multiple shots without reloading, nor resorting to having multiple barrels to do as such. Revolvers provide an advantage in the fact that a misfiring cartridge does not put a gunfighter out of commission; only a trigger pull is needed to advance to the next round. Revolvers are also generally less complicated on an end user level, being easier to maintain and operate, but much harder to repair. Revolvers, however, usually have low capacities, when compared to autoloading pistols(The Highest capacity revolver at 10 rounds, is only the mid level for an autoloading pistol), and nearly all models are unable to effectively use suppressors.

19

Revolvers themselves fall into various categories based on how they are cocked, and how they are loaded.

Single Action, Double Action and Double Action Only

With a single-action revolver(SA), the hammer is manually cocked, usually with the thumb of the firing or supporting hand. This action advances the cylinder to the next round and locks the cylinder in place with the chamber aligned with the barrel. The trigger, when pulled, releases the hammer, whichfires the round in the chamber. To fire again, the hammer must be manually cocked again. This is called "single-action" because the trigger only performs a single action, of releasing the hammer. Because only a single action is performed and trigger pull is lightened, firing a revolver in this way allows most shooters to achieve greater accuracy. Additionally, the need to cock the hammer manually acts as a safety. The Colt Paterson Revolver, the Walker Colt, the Colt's Dragoon and the Colt Single Action Army pistol of the American Frontier era are all good examples of this system. A single action revolver can be used to perform fanning attacks, where the supporting hand rapidly cocks the hammer back and the primary hand simply holds the trigger down, allowing for a volley of lead at a cost of accuracy.

With a double-action(DA) revolver, the stroke of the trigger pull generates three actions: the hammer is pulled back to the cocked position, the cylinder begins to be indexed to the next round, and then the hammer is released to strike the firing pin. Thus double action means that a cocking action separate from the trigger pull is unnecessary; and every trigger pull will result in a complete cycle. This allows uncocked carry while also allowing draw-and-fire using only the trigger. A longer and harder trigger stroke is the trade-off, but this drawback can also be viewed as a safety feature, as the gun is safer against accidental discharges from being dropped.Most double-action revolvers may be fired in two ways. The first way is single-action, exactly the same as a single-action revolver; the hammer is cocked with the thumb, which indexes the cylinder, and when the trigger is pulled, the hammer is tripped. The second way is double action.

Certain revolvers, called double action only(DAO), lack the latch that enables the hammer to be locked to the rear, and thus can only be fired in the double action mode. With no way to lock the hammer back, DAO designs tend to have bobbed or spurless hammers, and may even have the hammer completely covered by the revolver's frame. These are generally intended for concealed carrying, where a hammer spur could snag when the revolver is drawn. The potential reduction in accuracy in aimed fire or the ability to perform a fanning attack is offset by the increased capability for concealment.

Front Loading Revolvers

The first revolvers were front loading, and were a bit like muskets in that the powder and bullet were loaded separately. These were caplocks or "cap and ball" revolvers, because the caplock method of priming was the first to be compact enough to make a practical revolver feasible. When loading, each chamber in the cylinder was rotated out of line with the barrel, and charged from the front with loose powder and an oversized bullet. Next, the chamberwas aligned with the ramming lever underneath the barrel. Pulling the lever would drive a rammer into the chamber, which sealed it and held the ball and powder securely in place. Finally, the user would place percussion caps on the nipples on the rear face of the cylinder.

20

After each shot, a user was advised to raise his revolver vertically while cocking back the hammer so as to allow the fragments of the spent percussion cap to fall out safely. Otherwise, the fragments could fall into the revolver's mechanism and jam it. Caplock revolvers were also vulnerable to "chain fires", wherein hot gas from a shot ignited the powder in the other chambers. This could be prevented by sealing the chambers with cotton, wax, or grease.

Loading a cylinder in this manner was a slow and awkward process and generally could not be done in the midst of battle. Some soldiers solved this by carrying multiple revolvers in the field. Another solution was to use a revolver with a detachable cylinder design. These revolvers allowed the shooter to quickly remove a cylinder and replace it with a full one, much like how modern day pistols use magazines.

Fixed Cylinder Revolver

In many of the first generation of cartridge revolvers (especially those that were converted after manufacture), the pin on which the cylinder revolved was removed, and the cylinder taken from the gun for loading. Later models used a loading gate at the rear of the cylinder that allowed one cartridge at atime to be accessed for loading, while a rod under the barrel could be pressed backwards to extract the fired case. Most revolvers using this method of loading are single-action revolvers. The removable-cylinder design is employed in some modern "micro-revolvers" (usually in .22 caliber), in order to simplify their design. These weapons are small enough to fit in the palm of the hand.

The loading gate on the original Colt designs (and on nearly all single-action revolvers since, such as the famous Colt Single Action Army) is on the right side, which was done to facilitate loading while on horseback; with the revolver held in the left hand, the cartridges can easily be ejected and loaded with the right.

Since the cylinder in these revolvers is firmly attached at the front and rear of the frame, and since the frame is typically full thickness all the way around,fixed cylinder revolvers are inherently strong designs. Because of this, many modern large caliber hunting revolvers tend to be based on the fixed cylinder design. Fixed cylinder revolvers can fire the strongest and most powerful cartridges, but at the price of being the slowest to load and cannot use speedloaders for loading, as one chamber is exposed at a time to the loading gate.

Top Break Revolvers

The next method used for loading and unloading cartridge revolvers was the top break design. In a top-break revolver, the frame is hinged at the bottom front of the cylinder. Releasing the lock and pushing the barrel down exposes the rear face of the cylinder. In most top-break revolvers, this act also operates an extractor that pushes the cartridges in the chambers back far enough that they will fall free, or can be removed easily. Fresh rounds are then inserted into the cylinder. The barrel and cylinder are then rotated back and locked in place, and the revolver is ready to fire.

21

Top break revolvers can be loaded more rapidly than fixed-frame revolvers, especially with the aid of speedloaders. However, this design is much weaker and cannot handle high pressure rounds. While this design is mostly obsolete today, supplanted by the stronger yet equally convenient swing-out design, manufacturers have begun making reproductions of late 19th century designs for use in cowboy action shooting.

Swing Out Cylinder Revolvers

The last and most modern method of loading and unloading is the swing out cylinder. The cylinder is mounted on a pivot that is coaxial with the chambers, and the cylinder swings out and down (to the left in most cases). An extractor is fitted, operated by a rod projecting from the front of the cylinder assembly. When pressed, it will push all fired rounds free simultaneously (as in top break models, the travel is designed to not completely extract longer, unfired rounds). The cylinder may then be loaded, singly or again with a speedloader, closed, and latched in place.

The pivoting part that supports the cylinder is called the crane; it is the weak point of swing-out cylinder designs. Using the method often portrayed in movies and television of flipping the cylinder open and closed with a flick of the wrist can in fact cause the crane to bend over time, throwing the cylinder out of alignment with the barrel. Lack of alignment between chamber and barrel is a dangerous condition, as it can impede the bullet's transitionfrom chamber to barrel. This gives rise to higher pressures in the chamber, bullet damage, and the potential for an explosion if the bullet becomes stuck.

The shock of firing can also put a great deal of stress on the crane, as in most designs the cylinder is only held closed at one point, the rear of the cylinder.Stronger designs use a lock in the crane as well as the lock at the rear of the cylinder. This latch provides a more secure bond between cylinder and frame,and allows the use of larger, more powerful cartridges. Swing out cylinders are rather strong, but not as strong as fixed cylinders, and great care must be taken with the cylinder when loading, so as not to damage the crane.

Single Shot and Semi-Automatic Pistols

A single shot pistol is a type of handgun which uses a single chamber and barrel, where the shot or cartridge is loaded in and then fired. A Single shot pistol must be reloaded after every shot. Single shot handguns have generally fallen out of favor for revolvers, and semi-automatic handguns because of their increased capacity and ease of loading, but still hold some value as last ditch and backup weapons. A semi-automatic pistol is a type of handgun which uses a single chamber and barrel, with a mechanism powered by the previous shot to load a fresh cartridge into the chamber. One round is fired each time the trigger of a semi-automatic pistol is pulled. A semi-automatic pistol harnesses the energy of one shot to reload the chamber for the next, typically via recoil operation, blowback, or gas operation. After a round is fired, the spent casing is ejected and a new round from the magazine is loaded into the chamber, allowing another shot to be fired as soon as the trigger is again pulled.

22

Most types of semi-automatic pistols rely on a removable magazine to store ammunition before it is fired, usually inserted inside the grip. These magazines can hold anywhere from 3 to 100 rounds, though magazines between 5 and 20 are most common. Semi-automatic Pistols provide an advantage in capacity, as they hold two to three times more than a revolver of similar size. Semi-automatic pistols are generally more complex to operate and maintain on an end user level, but easier to repair.

Semi-automatic pistols fall into various categories based on how they are cocked, and what kind of magazine they posses.

Single Action, Double Action/Single Action, Pre-Set Action, and Double Action Only

Typically, the first round is manually loaded into the chamber by pulling back and releasing ("racking") the slide mechanism. After the trigger is pulled and the round is fired, the recoil operation of the handgun automatically extracts and ejects the shell casing and reloads the chamber. This mode of operation generally allows for faster reloading, although semi-automatic pistols are potentially more prone to malfunctions than revolvers due to their more complex design and mechanism.

A single-action (SA) semi-automatic pistol must be cocked by first operating the slide or bolt, or, if a round is already chambered, by cocking the hammermanually. The famed Colt M1911 is an example of this style of action. All SA semi-automatic pistols exhibit this feature, and automatically cock the hammer when the slide is first "racked" to chamber a round. A round can also be manually inserted in the chamber with the slide locked back. Then the safety can be applied.

Standard modern semi-automatic pistols are usually double-action/single-action (DA/SA). In this design, the hammer or striker may be either thumb-cocked or activated by pulling the trigger when firing the first shot. The hammer or striker is re-cocked automatically during each firing cycle. In double-action/single-action (DA/SA) pistols, the first pull of the trigger requires roughly twice as much pressure as subsequent firings, since the first pull of the trigger also cocks the hammer (if not already cocked by hand). The Beretta 92FS, a full-sized, service, semi-automatic pistol is an example of this style of action. A common mode of carry for DA/SA semi-automatic pistols is with the magazine full, a round chambered, and the gun holstered and uncocked with the external safety off.

A Pre-set action(PA) is a blend of Single Action(SA), and Double Action/Single Action(DA/SA). Upon firing a cartridge or loading the chamber, the hammer or striker will rest in a partially cocked position. The trigger serves the function of completing the cocking cycle and then releasing the striker or hammer. While technically two actions, it differs from a double-action trigger in that the trigger is not capable of fully cocking the striker or hammer. It differs from single action in that if the striker or hammer were to release, it would generally not be capable of igniting the primer. Preset actions also benefit in the fact that the first shot has the same trigger pressure as the subsequent shots, but have a downside where the slide must be racked if the round fails to fire, in order to reset the action.

23

Some modern semi-automatic pistols are double action only (DAO); that is, once a round is chambered, each trigger pull will cock the hammer, striker, orfiring pin, and will additionally release the same to fire a cartridge in one continuous motion. Each pull of the trigger on a DAO semi-automatic pistol requires the same amount of pressure. The Kel-Tec P-32 is an example of a DAO action. DAO semi-automatic pistols are most generally recommended only in the smaller, self-defense, concealable pistols, rather than in target or hunting pistols. A notable exception is Glock-brand pistols which optimize preset triggers (similar to DAO) but the striker is partially cocked back as the slide closes. This allows for significantly shorter trigger pulls than DAO. The trigger spring can be replaced with a lighter one and paired with a low-strength sear connector resulting in lightened trigger pulls to improve a shooter's accuracy.

Fixed Magazine and Removable magazine

Nearly all semi-automatic pistols use a removable magazine, which can be taken from the magazine well, reloaded, and then replaced in the pistol. This facilitates a much quicker reload time by carrying around more magazines that have been prefilled with ammunition. In most handguns, even with the magazine removed, it can still be fired if there is a round in the chamber.

The fixed pistol magazine generally uses stripper clips or loose rounds to reload a handgun, which is pushed into the internal magazine, and then stowed or tossed away. These are generally slower than removable magazine pistols, as the action generally has to be locked back before reloading, and ifa character is caught in the middle of reloading, they can not fire. Reloading also has to be done after the firearm has completely expended all of it’s ammunition(Or all of the ammunition has been removed), which doesn’t allow for topping off rounds in a timely manner.

24

Variant Rule: DA/SA, DA, DAO, PA, and SA Versus Semi-automatic

The Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook doesn't distinguish between Double Action, Double Action Only, Pre-set Action, and Single Action/Double Action; It generally labels all of these actions under the wide umbrella of semi-automatic. Handguns listed in Armory will have the firearms actual action, which can be used just as core rulebook: DA and DAO revolvers are semi-automatic, and All pistols are semi-automatic, or the variant rule below can beused. The variant rule should be used if your players are aiming for a more realistic game, or you'd like another aspect to play out when choosing a handgun.

Single Action Revolvers: Cost +1 Combat point when performing a single shot attack, but gain a +1 attack bonus.

Double Action Revolvers: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus, but the revolver can be used like a Single Action Revolver, incurring both the penalties and bonuses.

Double Action Only Revolvers: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus.

Single Action Pistols: All single shot attacks gain a +1 attack bonus, hammer must be cocked back in order to fire the first shot.

Double Action/Single Action Pistols: If the hammer is not cocked back, the first attack has no attack penalty or bonus and all single shot attacks after the first shot gain a +1 Attack bonus. The Hammer can be cocked back for 2 Combat Points.

Double Action Only Pistols: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus.

Pre-set Action Pistols: All single shot attacks gain a +1 attack bonus.

25

Variant Rule: Weight and Pistol Whip damage

When hitting someone with a handgun, weight plays a very major role: The more mass to bring down on an enemy, they more they'll feel it. The Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook doesn't distinguish between weight when pistol whipping; all small and larger handguns do the static amount of 1d4 damage. For a more broad scope of damage, the variant rule below could be used. All Damage adds a character's Power to the damage as normal. Unlike the default rule set, the size of the firearm does not come into play when pistol whipping using the variant rule.

0 oz. To 8 oz.: 1 bludgeoning damage

9 oz. To 16 oz.:1d2 bludgeoning damage

17 oz. To 24 oz.: 1d3 bludgeoning damage

25 oz. To 32 oz.: 1d2+1 bludgeoning damage






73 oz. to 80 oz.: 3d3 bludgeoning damage

81 oz. and above: 3d3+2 bludgeoning damage

Holdout HandgunsA holdout handgun is a handgun designed as a last ditch defensive weapon, to be drawn when all other weapons are compromised. Holdout handguns go well with a pocket holster, conceal carry holster, ankle holster, or tummy holster, but can also be stuck in a belt holster if one wishes.

Holdout handguns generally make poor sidearms, because of low capacity, weak calibers, or lack of barrel length to get the desired accuracy at a distanceone would use a sidearm. They are generally reserved for people who need a handgun, but they don’t need it to be big, flashy, or often times, expensive, or if one needs to stow a handgun in a small area, such as under the seat of a car, or in a glove compartment.

Cheap Holdout Handguns cost no more than 10 Wealth Points.

Backup HandgunsA backup handgun is a scaled down version of a service revolver or pistol, designed for easy concealment. Their ammunition capacities are likewise scaled down, however, making them decent sidearms, but not the first to be chosen.. Backup Handguns go well with Shoulder holsters, Belt holsters, Ankle holsters or even Tactical Holsters.

Backup guns are generally the go-to guns when a main sidearm is compromised, or is otherwise unavailable. They make decent sidearms for smaller framed people, where a full sized handgun would be unwieldy or uncomfortable, or when decent, hard hitting firepower is needed, but not at the size of a full sized handgun. They should not be discarded because of their backup nature: Backup handguns are often chambered in serviceable calibers, and often take the same magazines as their larger counterparts.

Firearm Spotlight: The Makarov PM

The PM ( Pistolet Makarova, literally Makarov's Pistol) is a semi-automatic pistol design. Under the project leadership of Nikolay Fyodorovich Makarov,it became the Soviet Union's standard military side arm from 1951-1991. The Makarov pistol resulted from a design competition for replacing the Tokarev TT-33 semi-automatic pistol and the Nagant M1895 revolver. Rather than building a pistol to an existing cartridge in the Soviet inventory, Nikolai Makarov utilized essentially the "9mm Ultra" cartridge which had been designed by Carl Walther G.m.b.H. for the German Luftwaffe during the Second World War. Walther's cartridge became the 9x18mm Makarov. For simplicity and economy, the Makarov pistol was of straight blowback operation, with the 9x18mm cartridge being the most powerful cartridge it could safely fire.

In 1951, the Pistol of Makarov (PM) was selected because of its simplicity (few moving parts), economy, easy manufacturing, and reasonable stopping power. It remained in wide front line service with Soviet military and police until the end of the U.S.S.R. in 1991 and beyond. Today, the Makarov is a popular handgun for concealed carry in the United States; variants of the pistol remain in production in Russia, China, and Bulgaria. In the U.S., surplusSoviet and East German military Makarovs are considered Curio & Relic eligible items by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, because the countries of manufacture, the U.S.S.R. and the G.D.R., no longer exist.

Full Size HandgunsFull Size Handguns usually serve as the duty weapons of most military forces and law enforcement officers around the world. They’re built for effectiveness over concealment, with bulky utilitarian frames, heavy grips, and high ammunition capacities. Full Size Handguns go well with any holster that they can fit in, but generally are put in Belt Holsters, Tactical Holsters, and Shoulder Holsters

Full Size Handguns do not necessarily have to meet the concealable issue that backup and holdout handguns have, therefore are generally larger and possess plenty of ammunition to have an extended fight with. The downsides are that they do shoot handgun ammunition, and are weak when compared to rifles and shotguns. Fullsized handguns should be used when concealment is not a large issue, but a full sized rifle or shotgun would be unwieldy to use, or too heavy to carry. When used with longarms, they should supplement the weapon, particularity as a backup gun.

Firearm Spotlight: The Browning Hi-Power

The Browning Hi-Power is a single-action, 9 mm semi-automatic handgun. It is based on a design by American firearms inventor John Browning, and completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium. Browning died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. The Hi-Power is one of the most widely used military pistols of all time, having been used by the armed forces of over 50 countries.

The Hi-Power name alluded to the 13-round magazine capacity; almost twice that of contemporary designs such as the Luger or Mauser 1910. The pistol is often referred to as an HP (for "Hi-Power" or "High-Power") or as a GP (for the French term, "Grande Puissance"). The term P-35 is also used, based on the introduction of the pistol in 1935. It is most often called the "Hi-Power", even in Belgium. It is also known as the BAP (Browning AutomaticPistol), particularly in Irish service.

The Hi-Power, like many other Browning designs, operates on the short-recoil principle, where the barrel and slide initially recoil together until the barrel is unlocked from the slide by a cam arrangement. Unlike Browning's earlier Colt M1911 pistol, the barrel is not moved vertically by a toggling link, but instead by a hardened bar which crosses the frame under the barrel and contacts a slot under the chamber, at the rearmost part of the barrel. The barrel and slide recoil together for a short distance but, as the slot engages the bar, the chamber and the rear of the barrel are drawn downward and stopped. The downward movement of the barrel disengages it from the slide, which continues rearward, extracting the spent case from the chamber and ejecting it. After the slide reaches the limit of its travel, the recoil spring brings it forward again, stripping a new round from the magazine and pushing it into the chamber. This also pushes the chamber and barrel forward. The cam slot and bar move the chamber upward and the locking lugs on the barrel reengage those in the slide.

Despite it's age, the Browning Hi power enjoys a very large following, both with civilians and military forces using them to this day.

Target Handguns and Hunting HandgunsA target handgun is a handgun that is built specifically for long or short range target shooting, usually chambered in an inexpensive caliber, such as .22 LR. A hunting handgun is a large handgun that shoots a large caliber bullet, usually used for hunting large game. Target handguns and Hunting handguns are too big to conceal, and go well with tactical holsters, and some slings.

Target handguns should not be pushed into service as a combat weapon unless absolutely necessary, as the calibers they fire are generally weak in nature. Hunting handguns, on the other hand, are generally larger versions of Full Sized handguns, and can make suitable combat handguns, even if Somewhat unwieldy.

Some Target Handguns are simply cut down lever action rifles(See Chapter 4:Rifles, for more on this), that have extremely short barrels(For a rifle, but long for a handgun), but still fire a full powered handgun cartridge.

World War 2 HandgunsThe handguns listed under this section represent the selection from the mid 1930s to the late 1940s. Reproductions of these handguns span a few, while styles of these handguns continue to exist until this day. These handguns would not normally be encountered on a daily basis, unless kept by a collector or in a museum or government warehouse.

All weapons listed here have a 75% Error range due to age, and must be cleaned, repaired, and oiled to remove said error range.

Firearm Spotlight: The M1911

The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge, which served as the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985. It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The M1911 is still carried by some U.S. forces. In total, the United States procured around 2.7 million M1911 and M1911A1 pistols in military contracts during its service life. Designed by John Moses Browning, the M1911 is the best-known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. The pistol was widelycopied, and this operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols. It is popular with civilian shooters in competitive events such as USPSA, IDPA, International Practical Shooting Confederation, and Bullseye shooting, and enjoys a healthy reproduction life to this day. It is one of the most popular handguns in the United States, and enjoys a very strong following.

Chapter 2:Personal Defense Weapons"You don't need to be a better shot-you just need to shoot MORE BULLETS!" ~Marcus Kincaid

A personal defense weapon (PDW) is a compact semi-automatic or fully automatic firearm similar in most respects to a submachine gun, but firing a (often proprietary) rifle round, giving a PDW better range, accuracy and armor-penetrating capability than submachine guns, which fire pistol-caliber cartridges. The class of weapon as it exists today evolved as a hybrid between a submachine gun and a carbine, retaining the compact size and ammunition capacity of the former while adding the ammunition power, accuracy and penetration of the latter. For the context of this book, PDWs include submachine guns as well as machine pistols.

A machine pistol is a handgun-style, often magazine-fed and self-loading firearm, capable of fully automatic or burst fire, and normally chambered for pistol cartridges. The term is a literal translation of Maschinenpistole, the German term for a hand-held automatic weapon. While the dividing line between machine pistols and compact submachine guns is hard to draw, the term "submachine gun" usually refers to larger automatic firearms scaled down from a full-sized machine gun to fire handgun rounds, while the term "machine pistol" usually refers to a weapon built up from a semi-automatic pistol design. Machine pistols, however, break away from this definition with the new arrival of rifle caliber handguns, that are extremely cut down rifles, with a semi-automatic rate of fire, and lacking a stock.

In a law enforcement context, machine pistols are used by tactical police units such as SWAT teams or hostage rescue teams which are operating inside buildings and other cramped spaces, who need a small, concealable weapon with a high rate of fire. Bodyguards from police or government agencies sometimes carry concealed machine pistols when they are protecting high-risk VIPs. Criminal gang members such as narcotics traffickers also use machine pistols, typically guns which have been illegally converted to fire in a fully automatic fashion.

In a military setting, some countries issue machine pistols as personal defense side arms to infantry, paratroopers, artillery crews, helicopter crews or tank crews. They have also been used in close quarters combat settings where a small weapon is needed.

A submachine gun is an automatic carbine, designed to fire pistol cartridges. It combines the automatic fire of a machine gun with the cartridge of a pistol, which allows for controllable automatic fire in a close setting. Sub machine guns almost always have stocks, and are used like close ranged rifles.

105

In the early 20th century, experiments were made by converting stocked pistols from semi to fully automatic, thereby making machine pistols. Stocked automatic weapons firing pistol rounds were developed around the same time during World War I, by Italy, Germany, and the United States. The first dedicated designs were developed in the latter stages of World War I both as improvements on earlier stocked pistols, and to offer an advantage in trenchwarfare. They were popularized in the 1920s and 1930s as weapon of choice of American gangsters and police. Submachine guns rose to prominence as a front line close-quarters combat weapon and commando firearm during World War II. They are now widely used by police SWAT, military commando, paramilitary, and counter-terrorism team members for a variety of situations. Submachine guns are highly effective in close quarters; their lower-powered pistol cartridges make them generally more controllable in fully automatic fire compared to assault rifles, while their small size and light weightgrant maneuverability. However, pistol cartridges generally have low effectiveness against targets protected by body armor or cover, and are short-ranged compared to intermediate and rifle cartridges.

Open Bolt Vs Closed Bolt

A semi or full automatic firearm is said to fire from an open bolt if, when ready to fire, the bolt and working parts are held to the rear. When the trigger ispulled the bolt goes forward, feeding a round from the magazine into the chamber and firing it. Like any other self-loading design without an external power supply, the action is cycled by the energy of the shot; this sends the bolt back to the rear, ejecting the empty cartridge case and preparing for the next shot. Generally, open bolt is used for automatic weapons and not for semi automatic weapons.

Compared to a closed-bolt design, open-bolt weapons generally have fewer moving parts. The firing pin is usually part of the bolt, saving on manufacturing costs. In automatic weapons an open bolt helps eliminate the dangerous phenomenon known as "cook-off", wherein the firing chamber becomes so hot that rounds spontaneously fire without trigger input. Open-bolt designs typically operate much cooler than closed-bolt designs, making them more suitable for constant full-automatic weapons such as machine guns.

Open bolt weapons are more prone to fire when dropped, and the open mechanism is more subject to picking up dirt when in the ready position, and so may require an additional ejector door or similar mechanism to exclude dust and dirt. Some open-bolt designs can suffer "slamfire", in which bolt retention fails and the weapon discharges even with no trigger input. Open bolt weapons can not chamber a round in the barrel, and thus are restricted to the amount of the rounds in the magazine. Accuracy can suffer somewhat in an open-bolt design, but this is generally less of a concern in automatic weapons.

A semi or full-automatic firearm which is said to fire from a closed bolt is one where, when ready to fire, a round is in the chamber and the bolt and working parts are forward. When the trigger is pulled the firing pin or striker fires the round, the action is cycled by the energy of the shot sending the bolt to the rear which extracts and ejects the empty cartridge case, the bolt then goes forward feeding a fresh round from the magazine into the chamber, ready for the next shot.

106

Closed bolt designs are more accurate for the first round and for semi automatic fire, and don’t have the movement of working parts to inhibit accuracy. The first round sits consistently in the chamber, which allows the topping off of a magazine, for +1 round. The action remaining closed the majority of thetime prevents foreign debris from entering the gun. When firing, the action can be locked forward to further reduce noise in a suppressed weapon, thereby operating it in a single shot mode.

Closed Bolt weapons are generally more expensive to make, and they can suffer from cook-off. Closed bolt designs are typically seen in semi-automatic weapons, such as handguns, shotguns, and rifles.

Variant Rule: Open Bolt and Closed Bolt

The Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook doesn't really show the differences between open bolt and closed bolt PDWs. Each listing in the Machine Pistols andSMGs will have the type of action, along with their rates of fire. The variant rule should be used if your players are aiming for a more realistic game, or you'd like another aspect to play out when choosing a PDW.

Open Bolt: Abbreviated as OB, these weapons grant a -2 attack penalty on all single shot attacks, and a -1 on all multi-shot attacks. They also can not chamber a round in the chamber for +1 round. These weapons can not be cycled without firing off a round.

Closed Bolt: Abbreviated as CB, these weapon do not gain a attack penalty or bonus for any attacks, and can chamber a round in the chamber for +1 round, but the combat point cost is +1 when reloading these weapons.

Modern-day PDWsThe PDWs listed under this section represent the selection from the mid 1950s to present day. These are the mostly commonly encountered PDWs in this day and age.

Machine PistolsA Machine pistol is a pistol that can lay down a high volume of fire, usually with a high capacity magazine. Machine pistols are too large to conceal, usually kept on a short sling.

Machine pistols are generally regarded as emergency weapons because of the small caliber they fire, the rapid fire, and the short barrel, they are not suited for many roles that either a handgun, or a rifle solve more adequately. They have a niche market for para-military and police forces that require rapid fire, but not the large size of a submachine gun or a rifle, also by gangsters who require heavy firepower in a compact size.

Firearm Spotlight: The MP5

The Heckler & Koch MP5 (from German: Maschinenpistole 5, "machine pistol model 5") is a 9mm submachine gun of German design, developed in the 1960s by a team of engineers from the German small arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch GmbH (H&K) of Oberndorf am Neckar. The MP5 is currently one of the most widely used submachine guns in the world, having been adopted by numerous military, law enforcement, intelligence, and security organizations.

The primary version of the MP5 family is the MP5A2, which is a lightweight, air-cooled, selective fire delayed blowback operated 9x19mm Parabellum weapon with a roller-delayed bolt. It fires from a closed bolt (bolt forward) position. The bolt rigidly engages the barrel extension – a cylindrical component welded to the receiver into which the barrel is pinned. The delay mechanism is of the same design as that used in the G3 rifle. The two-part bolt consists of a bolt head with rollers and a bolt carrier. The heavier bolt carrier lies up against the bolt head when the weapon is ready to fire and inclined planes on the front locking piece lie between the rollers and force them out into recesses in the barrel extension.

The MP5 is used by every major army in the world, as well as a large amount of Police SWAT units, the Secret Service, and the FBI Hostage Rescue Team.

Firearm Spotlight: The Thompson

The Thompson is a .45 ACP submachine gun of American Design, invented by John T. Thompson in 1919, that became infamous during the Prohibition era. It was a common sight in the media of the time, being used by both law enforcement officers and criminals. The Thompson was also known informally as: the "Tommy Gun", "Trench Broom", "Trench Sweeper", "Chicago Typewriter", "Chicago Piano", "Chicago Style", "Chicago Organ Grinder", and "The Chopper".

The Thompson was favored by soldiers, criminals, police and civilians alike for its ergonomics, compactness, large .45 ACP cartridge, reliability, and high volume of automatic fire. It has since gained popularity among civilian collectors for its historical significance.

Early versions of the Thompson had a fairly high cyclic rate of fire, as high as 1,200rpm (rounds per minute), with most police Model 1921 at 850rpm and military Model 1928 at 720. Later M1 and M1A1 Thompsons averaged 600 rpm. This rate of fire, combined with a rather heavy trigger pull and a stock with an excessive drop, increases the tendency for the barrel to climb off target in automatic fire. Compared to modern 9mm submachine guns, the.45 Thompson is quite heavy—weighing roughly the same as the contemporary M1 Garand battle rifle. This was one of the major complaints against theweapon made by service members of militaries that issued the Thompson.

The Tompson was originally used with a 50 round drum for the military. Although the drum magazine provided significant firepower, in military service it was found to be overly heavy and bulky, especially when slung on patrol or on the march. It was also rather fragile, and cartridges tended to rattle inside it, producing unwanted noise. For these reasons, the 20-round and later 30-round box magazines soon proved most popular with military users of the M1928A1, and drum compatibility was not included in the design of the wartime M1 and M1A1 models. The Thompson was one of the earliest submachine guns to incorporate a double-column, double-feed box magazine design, which undoubtedly contributed to the gun's reputation forreliability. In addition, the gun performed better than most after exposure to rain, dirt, and mud.The select fire (semi- or full automatic) Thompson fires from the "open bolt" position, in which the bolt is held fully to rearward by the sear when cocked. When the trigger is depressed, the bolt is released, traveling forward to chamber and simultaneously fire the first and subsequent rounds until either the trigger is released or the ammunition is exhausted. This eliminates the risk of "cook-off," which can sometimes occur in closed-bolt automatic weapons when the barrel becomes so hot that chambered rounds auto-ignite, causing the weapon to fire uncontrollably.

The Thompson has been retired since it's use in the World Wars and the Korean war, for more lighter Sub-machineguns, but still has a civilian followingbecause of it's historical significance.

Chapter 3:Rifles“This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, or the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit. My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will. Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!” ~Rifleman's Creed

A rifle is a firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder, with a barrel that has a helical groove or pattern of grooves ("rifling") cut into the barrel walls. The raised areas of the rifling are called "lands," which make contact with the projectile, imparting spin around an axis corresponding to the orientation of the weapon. When the projectile leaves the barrel, this spin lends gyroscopic stability to the projectile and prevents tumbling, in the same way that a properly thrown American football or rugby ball behaves. This allows the use of aerodynamically-efficient pointed bullets (as opposed to the spherical balls used in muskets and shotguns) and thus improves range and accuracy. The word "rifle" originally referred to the grooving, and a rifle was called a "rifled gun." Rifles are used in warfare, hunting and shooting sports.

The rifle is the backbone of every modern infantry army, and nearly all countries have used them since the mid 1800s, which were a massive upgrade from the smoothbore muskets, which had troubles with accurate, precise fire because of their barrels. Rifles were initially single-shot, muzzle-loading weapons. During the 18th century, breech-loading weapons were designed, which allowed the rifleman to reload while under cover, but defects in manufacturing and the difficulty in forming a reliable gas-tight seal prevented widespread adoption. During the 19th century, multi-shot repeating rifles using lever, pump or bolt actions became standard, further increasing the rate of fire and minimizing the fuss involved in loading a firearm. The problem of proper seal creation had been solved with the use of brass cartridge cases, which expanded in an elastic fashion at the point of firing and effectively sealed the breech while the pressure remained high, then relaxed back enough to allow for easy removal. By the end of the 19th century, the leading bolt-action design was that of Paul Mauser, whose action—wedded to a reliable design possessing a five-shot magazine—became a world standard through two world wars and beyond. The Mauser rifle was paralleled by Britain's ten-shot Lee-Enfield and America's 1903 Springfield Rifle models.

142

Rifles are split into categories by their size, accessories, actions, and use.

When selecting a rifle, a character should always consider many things, such as what the role they plan to play with that rifle, the ammunition type, caliber, and accessories they will take use of. Rifles are best complimented with a variety of upgrades, and should take full use of them. Rifles are less personal weapons, more utilitarian weapons that are used and employed when needed, and stowed away when not.

Bolt Action

Bolt action is a type of firearm action in which the weapon's bolt is operated manually by the opening and closing of the breech (barrel) with a small handle, most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the weapon . As the handle is operated, the bolt is unlocked, the breech is opened, the spent cartridge case is withdrawn and ejected, the firing pin is cocked (this occurs either on the opening or closing of the bolt, depending on design), and finally a new round/cartridge is placed into the breech and the bolt closed. Bolt action firearms are most often rifles, but there are some bolt-action shotguns as well. Examples of this system date as far back as the early 19th century, notably in the Dreyse needle gun. From the late 19th century, all the way through both World Wars, the bolt-action rifle was the standard infantry firearm for most of the world's militaries.

In military and law enforcement use, the bolt action has been mostly replaced by semi-automatic and selective fire weapons, though the bolt action remains the dominant design in sniper rifles. Bolt action firearms are still very popular for hunting and target shooting. Compared to most other manually operated firearm actions, it offers an excellent balance of strength (allowing powerful chamberings), ruggedness, reliability, and potential accuracy, all with light weight and low cost. The major disadvantage is a marginally lower practical rate of fire than other manual repeating firearms, such as lever-action and pump-action, and a far lower practical rate of fire than semi-automatic weapons, but this is not an important factor in many types of hunting and target shooting.

Lever Action

Lever-action is a type of firearm action which uses a lever located around the trigger guard area, (often including the trigger guard itself) to load fresh cartridges into the chamber of the barrel when the lever is worked. Most lever-action firearms are rifles, but lever-action shotguns and a few pistols have also been made. One of the most famous lever-action firearm is undoubtedly the Winchester rifle, but many manufacturers–notably Marlin and Savage–also produce lever-action rifles.

143

While lever-action rifles were (and are) popular with hunters and sporting shooters, they were not widely accepted by the military. One significant reason for this was that it is harder to fire a lever-action from the prone position (compared to a bolt-action rifle), and while nominally possessing a greater rate of fire than bolt-action rifles, lever-action firearms are also generally fed from a tubular magazine, which limits the ammunition that can be used in them. Pointed center fire Spitzer bullets, for example, can cause explosions in a tubular magazine, as the point of each cartridge's projectile rests on the primer of the next cartridge in the magazine. The tubular magazine may also have a negative impact on the harmonics of the barrel, which limits the theoretical accuracy of the rifle. A tubular magazine under the barrel also pushes the center of gravity forward, which alters the balance of the rifle in ways that are undesirable to some shooters. However there are some lever rifles, such as the Winchester Model 1895 which saw service with the Russian Army in World War I, that use a box magazine.

Due to the higher rate of fire and shorter overall length than most bolt-action rifles, lever actions have remained popular to this day for sporting use, especially short- and medium-range hunting in forests, scrub, or bushland. Lever-action firearms have also been used in some quantity by prison guards in the United States, as well as by wildlife authorities/game wardens in many parts of the world. An additional advantage over typical bolt-action rifles isthe lack of handedness: lever-actions like pump-actions are frequently recommended as ambidextrous in sporting guidebooks.

Pump Action

A pump-action rifle is one in which the handgrip can be pumped back and forth in order to eject a spent round of ammunition and to chamber a fresh one. It is much faster than a bolt-action and somewhat faster than a lever-action, as it does not require the trigger hand to be removed from the trigger whilst reloading

The cycling time of a pump-action is quite short, often less than that of some semi-automatic designs. The manual operation gives a pump-action the ability to cycle rounds of widely varying power that a gas or recoil operated firearm would fail to cycle. The simplicity of the pump-action relative to a semi-automatic design also leads to improved durability and lower cost. It has also been noticed that the time taken to work the action allows the operator to identify and aim on a new target, avoiding a "spray and pray" usage. An advantage of the pump-action over the bolt-action is its ease of use by both left- and right-handed users: like lever-actions, pump-actions are frequently recommended as ambidextrous in sporting guidebooks.

Like most lever-action rifles, most pump action rifles do not use a detachable magazine. This makes for slow reloading, as the cartridges have to be inserted individually into the firearm, which can take more time to reload.

144

Self Loading

A semi-automatic, or self-loading rifle is a weapon which performs all steps necessary to prepare the weapon to fire again after firing—assuming cartridges remain in the weapon's feed device or magazine. Typically, this includes extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge case from the weapon's firing chamber, re-cocking the firing mechanism, and loading a new cartridge into the firing chamber. Although automatic weapons and selective fire firearms do the same tasks, semi-automatic firearms do not automatically fire an additional round until the trigger is released and re-pressed by the person firing the weapon.

While all basic firearm actions require the action to be cycled manually before the first shot, semi-automatic as well as automatic and selective fire actionsare differentiated from other forms such as pump-action, bolt-action, or lever-action firearms by eliminating the need to manually cycle the weapon after each shot. For example, to fire ten rounds from a semi-automatic firearm or a selective fire weapon set to fire semi-automatically, the action would initially be cycled to load the first round and the trigger would need to be pulled ten times (once for each round fired). For the other forms, the weapon's mechanism would require cycling manually prior to firing the next round. An automatic or a selective fire weapon set to fire automatically would be ableto fire continuously as long as the trigger is held until the magazine or feed device runs out of ammunition.

Advantages of this type of action is that the weapon can fire much faster than any other type of action, without having to break sights on the target in order to ready another round.

The disadvantage are that a self loading weapon is almost always more mechanically complex than any other type of action, and requires more maintenance, as well as more room for failure.

145

Variant Rule: Bolt Action, Lever Action, and Pump Action Rifles

The Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook doesn't distinguish much between the three actions; It generally gives these three actions the same type of attacks: Single shot, and various others with the correct feat. The variant rule should be used if your players are aiming for a more realistic game, or you'd like another aspect to play out when choosing and using a rifle..

Lever Action Rifles: Cost +2 Combat Points when firing from prone and +5 when firing from kneeled, but -1 Combat Point when performing potshot attacks.

Pump Action Rifles: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus.

Bolt Action Rifles: Cost +1 Combat point when performing a single shot attack, but gain a +1 attack bonus.

Self Loading Rifles: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus.

Carbine Rifles

A carbine is a longarm similar to, but shorter than, a rifle. Many carbines are shortened versions of full rifles, firing the same ammunition at a lower velocity due to a shorter barrel length, and as such, the range for carbines is usually less than their rifle counterparts.

The smaller size and lighter weight of carbines makes them easier to handle in close-quarter situations such as urban or jungle warfare, or when deploying from military vehicles. The disadvantages of carbines relative to rifles include inferior long-range accuracy and a shorter effective range. Being larger than a submachine gun, they are harder to maneuver in tight encounters where superior range and stopping power at distance are not great considerations. Firing the same ammunition as rifles gives carbines the advantage of standardization over those personal defense weapons (PDWs) that require proprietary cartridges.

147

One of the more unusual classes of carbine is the pistol caliber carbine. These first appeared soon after metallic cartridges became common. These were developed as "companions" to the popular revolvers of the day, firing the same cartridge but allowing more velocity and accuracy than the revolver.

The primary advantages of a pistol caliber carbine are increased accuracy due to the buttstock and longer barrel (and with it, sight radius), relatively low muzzle blast/flash/recoil, higher muzzle velocity and energy of a longer barrel for increased wounding potential and penetration (depending on the particular load used), and greater adaptability for easily accepting accessories such as optics, weapon lights, and lasers.

One less-noted advantage of PCCs is their lower muzzle report compared to more powerful rifles; because they are less noisy when fired, they are less likely to cause permanent hearing damage when fired indoor without hearing protection - this can be an important consideration during home defense situations.

Compared to "regular" carbines/rifles (such as those in .223 Rem and 7.62x39mm), pistol-caliber carbines may suffer from a shorter effective range, more pronounced trajectory, less power, and less effectiveness against body armor.

Carbines are issued to high-mobility troops such as special-operations soldiers and paratroopers, as well as to mounted, supply, or other non-infantry personnel whose roles do not require full-sized rifles. Carbine rifles go well with tactical slings, or patrol slings, and the same accessories that would be outfitted on a full size rifle.

Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, and Target RiflesAn assault rifle is an automatic rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Assault rifles are the standard infantry weapons in most modern armies. Assault rifles are categorized in between light machine guns, which are intended more for sustained automatic fire in a light support role, and submachine guns, which fire a pistol cartridge rather than a rifle cartridge.

The term assault rifle is a translation of the German word Sturmgewehr (literally "storm rifle", as in "to storm a position"). The name was coined by Adolf Hitler to describe the Maschinenpistole 43, subsequently renamed Sturmgewehr 44, the firearm generally considered the first assault rifle that served to popularize the concept and form the basis for today's modern assault rifles.

The translation assault rifle gradually became the common term for similar firearms sharing the same technical definition as the StG 44. In a strict definition, a firearm must have at least the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle: It must be an individual weapon with provision to fire from the shoulder (i.e. a buttstock); It must be capable of selective fire, It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle, Its ammunition must be supplied from a detachable magazine rather than a feed-belt. And it should at least have a firing range of 300 meters (1000 feet). Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are technically not assault rifles despite frequently being considered as such. For example, semi-automatic-only rifles that share designs with assault rifles are not assault rifles, as they are not capable of switching to automatic fire and thus are not selective fire capable, and are noted as target rifles. Belt-fed weapons or rifles with fixed magazines are likewise not assault rifles because they do not have detachable box magazines.

The term "assault rifle" is often more loosely used for commercial or political reasons to include other types of arms, particularly arms that fall under a strict definition of the battle rifle, or semi-automatic variant of military rifles such as AR-15s.

The US Army defines assault rifles as “short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachinegun and rifle cartridges.”

A battle rifle is a military service rifle that fires a full power rifle cartridge, such as 7.62x51mm NATO. While the designation of battle rifle is usually given to post-World War II select fire infantry rifles such as the H&K G3, the FN FAL, or the M14, this term can also apply to older military bolt-action or semi-automatic rifles such as the Mauser 98k or the M1 Garand. The battle rifle's power and long-range accuracy are intended to engage targets at long distances, but this comes with a trade-off of length and weight that make it relatively cumbersome in close-quarter combat.

166

Recently, however, there has been a general backlash against carbines and light rifles in many armies around the world due to their having less range, penetration and power than battle rifles. Recent conflicts in desert environments have underscored the need for greater range while developments in body armor have created a need for more powerful munitions. A consequence of this was the creation of the Squad Designated Marksman program in the U.S. Army and the Squad Advanced Marksman in the U.S. Marine Corps. The role of the designated marksman is to fill the "marksmanship gap" between the rifleman and the sniper. Instead of relying on the use of smaller, lighter weapons with a higher rate of fire to hit a target, these programs place greater emphasis on marksmanship training, allowing the squad to take advantage of the greater range and power of heavier weapons. This has marked the return of battle rifles in the form of Marksman rifles, which are discussed next section.

Target rifles are semi automatic rifles that use a varying degrees of cartridges, from the lighter assault rifle cartridges, to the heavier Battle rifle cartridges.Target rifles may retain and appear to be exactly like assault and battle rifles, even down to having part and magazine compatibility, but target rifles havea semi-automatic rate of fire only.

Assault rifles, battle rifles, and target rifles go well with a multitude of upgrades based on their use, and can take advantage of a wide variety of upgrades.

Firearm Spotlight: The AK-47

The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62×39mm assault rifle, first developed in the USSR by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is officially known as Avtomat Kalashnikova . It is also known as a Kalashnikov, an "AK", or in Russian slang, Kalash. Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II. After the war in 1946, the AK-46 was presented for official military trials. In 1947 the fixed-stock version was introduced into service with select units of the Soviet Army. An early development of the design was the AKS (S—Skladnoy or "folding"), which was equipped with an under foldingmetal shoulder stock. In 1949, the AK-47 was officially accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces and used by the majority of the member states of the Warsaw Pact. The original AK-47 was one of the first true "assault rifles" to be manufactured, after the original Sturmgewehr 44. Even after six decades the model and its variants remain the most widely used and popular assault rifles in the world because of their durability, low production cost, and easeof use. It has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with armed forces as well as irregular forces worldwide. The AK-47 was the basis for developing many other types of individual and crew-served firearms. More AK-type rifles have been produced than all other assault rifles combined.

The proliferation of this weapon is reflected by more than just numbers. The AK-47 is included in the flag of Mozambique and its coat of arms, an acknowledgment that the country's leaders gained power in large part through the effective use of their AK-47s. It is also found in the coat of arms of Zimbabwe and East Timor, the revolution era coat of arms of Burkina Faso, the flag of Hezbollah, and the logo of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

In parts of the Western world, the AK-47 is associated with their enemies; both Cold War era and present-day. During the 1980s, the Soviet Union became the principal arms dealer to countries embargoed by Western nations, including Middle Eastern nations such as Syria, Libya and Iran, who welcomed Soviet Union backing against Israel. After the fall of the Soviet Union, AK-47s were sold both openly and on the black market to any group with cash, including drug cartels and dictatorial states, and more recently they have been seen in the hands of violent Islamic terrorist groups such as the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and Iraq, and FARC, Ejército de Liberación Nacional guerrillas in Colombia. Western movies often portray criminals, gang members and terrorists using AK-47s. For these reasons, in the U.S. and Western Europe the AK-47 is stereotypically regarded as the weapon of choice of insurgents, gangsters and terrorists, so much so that it was banned, by name, in the United State's Public Safety and Relational Firearms Use Protection act, also known as the Assault Weapons ban. Throughout the developing world, the AK-47 can be positively attributed with revolutionaries or "freedom fighters" against foreign occupation, imperialism, or colonialism.

Firearm Spotlight: The FAL

The Fusil Automatique Léger ("Light Automatic Rifle") or FAL is a self-loading, selective fire battle rifle produced by the Belgian armaments manufacturer Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN). During the Cold War it was adopted by many North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries, with the notable exception of the United States, who selected to use the M14, then the M16. It is one of the most widely used rifles in history, having been used by over 90 countries.

The FAL was predominantly chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO round, and because of its prevalence and widespread use among the armed forces of many NATO countries during the Cold War it was nicknamed "The right arm of the Free World".

The FAL operates by means of a gas-operated action very similar to that of the Russian SVT-40. The gas system is driven by a short-stroke, spring-loaded piston housed above the barrel, and the locking mechanism is what is known as a tilting breechblock. To lock, it drops down into a solid shoulder of metal in the heavy receiver much like the bolts of the Russian SKS carbine and French MAS-49 series of semi-automatic rifles. The gas system is fitted with a gas regulator behind the front sight base, allowing adjustment of the gas system in response to environmental conditions, and a separate gas plug can be closed completely to allow for the firing of rifle grenades and manual loading. The FAL's magazine capacity ranges from 5 to 30 rounds, with most magazines holding 20 rounds. In fixed stock versions of the FAL, the recoil spring is housed in the stock, while in folding-stock versions it is housed in the receiver cover, necessitating a slightly different receiver cover, recoil spring, and bolt carrier, and a modified lower receiver for the stock.

FAL rifles have also been manufactured in both light and heavy-barrel configurations, with the heavy barrel intended for automatic fire as a section or squad light support weapon. Most heavy barrel FALs are equipped with bipods, although some light barrel models were equipped with bipods, such asthe Austrian StG58 and the German G1, and a bipod was later made available as an accessory.

Among other 7.62×51mm NATO battle rifles at the time, the FN FAL had relatively light recoil, due to the gas system being able to be tuned via regulator in fore-end of the rifle, which allowed for excess gas which would simply increase recoil to bleed off. In fully automatic mode, however, the shooter receives considerable abuse from recoil, and the weapon climbs off-target quickly, making automatic fire only of marginal effectiveness. Many military forces using the FAL eventually eliminated full-automatic firearms training in the light-barrel FAL.

Firearm Spotlight: The AR-15

The AR-15 is a lightweight, 5.56 mm, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed semi-automatic rifle, with a rotating-lock bolt, actuated by direct impingement gas operation or long/short stroke piston operation. It is manufactured with the extensive use of aluminum alloys and synthetic materials.The AR-15 was first built by ArmaLite as a selective fire assault rifle for the United States armed forces. Because of financial problems, ArmaLite sold theAR-15 design to Colt. The select-fire AR-15 entered the US military system as the M16 rifle. Colt then marketed the Colt AR-15 as a semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle for civilian sales in 1963. The name "AR-15" is a Colt registered trademark, which refers only to the semi-automatic rifle. Colt marketed the AR-15 rifle to various military services around the world, including the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps. The AR-15 was eventually adopted by the United States military under the designation M16.

Today the AR-15 and its variations are manufactured by many companies and have captured the affection of civilian shooters and police forces around the world due to their accuracy and modularity. The AR-15 rifle is available in a wide range of configurations from a large number of manufacturers. These configurations range from short carbine-length models with features such as adjustable length stocks and optical sights, to heavy barrel models. Due to the rifle's modular design, one upper receiver can quickly and easily be substituted for another. There are many aftermarket upper receivers that incorporate barrels of different weights, lengths and calibers. Some available calibers for the AR-15 platform are the .223 Remington/5.56x45mm, .45 ACP, 5.7x28mm, .338 Lapua, 6.8 mm Remington SPC, and .50 BMG. It is not recommended to chamber the 5.56x45 NATO into a rifle designated 223 Remington, due to the slightly increased chamber pressure in the 5.56mm cartridges, the two calibers are similar, but not identical.

The AR-15 is the basis for the M4 Carbine, the M16, the C7, and the CAR-15 Rifles.

Designated Marksman Rifles

A designated marksman rifle (DMR) is the weapon used by soldiers in the designated marksman role. The DM role fills the gap between a regular infantryman and a sniper and DMRs have been developed with this middle ground in mind.

These rifles have to be effective, in terms of accuracy and terminal ballistics, at ranges exceeding those of ordinary assault rifles, but do not require the extended range of a dedicated sniper rifle.

DMRs, however, often share some basic characteristics with sniper rifles in difference to the weapons carried by others in the DMs unit. DMRs may have an attached telescopic sight, quickly deployed stabilizing bipod to allow optimized accuracy and low-recoil in temporarily fixed situations or an adjustable stock. They will, though, generally retain semi-automatic firing capability (more rapid than bolt-action sniper rifles) and a larger magazine capacity of 10, 20, or 30 rounds depending on the firearm in question.

Bolt Action Rifles and Sniper Rifles

In military and law enforcement terminology, a sniper rifle is a precision-rifle used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than other small arms. A typical sniper rifle is built for optimal levels of accuracy, fitted with a telescopic sight and chambered for a military center fire cartridge. The term is often used in the media to describe any type of accurized firearm fitted with a telescopic sight that is employed against human targets, although "sniping rifle" or "sniper's rifle" is the technically correct fashion to refer to such a rifle.

The military role of a sniper, dates back to the turn of the 18th century, but the true sniper rifle is a much more recent development. Advances in technology, specifically that of telescopic sights and more accurate manufacturing, allowed armies to equip specially trained soldiers with rifles that enable them to deliver precise shots over greater distances than regular infantry weapons. The rifle itself could be based on a standard rifle (at first, a bolt-action rifle); however, when fitted with a telescopic sight, it becomes a sniper rifle.

Modern Sniper Rifles can be divided into two classes: Military and Law Enforcement

Military

Sniper rifles aimed at military service are often designed for very high durability, range, reliability, sturdiness, serviceability and repairability under adverse environmental and combat conditions, at the sacrifice of a small degree of accuracy. Military snipers and sharpshooters may also be required to carry their rifles and other equipment for long distances, making it important to minimize weight. Military organizations often operate under strict budget constraints, which influences the type and quality of sniper rifles they purchase.

Law Enforcement

Sniper rifles built or modified for use in law enforcement are generally required to have the greatest possible accuracy, more than military rifles, but do not need to have as long a range. As law enforcement-specific rifles are usually used in non-combat (often urban) environments, they do not have the requirement to be as hardy or portable as military versions; nevertheless they may be smaller, as they do not need very long range. Some of the first sniper rifles designed specifically to meet police and other law-enforcement requirements were developed for West German police after the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Many police services and law enforcement organizations (such as the U.S. Secret Service) now use rifles designed for law enforcement purposes.

Bolt action rifles and sniper rifles, because of their use, will almost always use a scope of high magnification(at least x3),and a bipod. Accessories such as lasers, custom built stocks, and modified barrels are often built in as well, to achieve the best possible shot.

Anti-Material RifleAn Anti-Material rifle is a rifle designed to destroy at hard targets, such as equipment, vehicles, and weapons, rather than at other combatants. Anti-material rifles are similar in form and appearance to modern sniper rifles and can often serve in that role, though they are usually chambered for cartridges more powerful than are normally required for neutralizing a human and can operate at a greater range. In general, anti-material rifles are chambered for 12.7x99mm NATO (.50 BMG), 12.7x108mm Russian, 14.5x114mm Russian, and 20mm cartridges. The large cartridges are required to be able to fire projectiles containing usable payloads such as explosives, armor-piercing cores, and incendiaries.

Due to the considerable size and weight of anti-material rifles and other support equipment, sniper cells operating in 2- or 3-man or larger teams become a necessity. The recoil produced by the employed cartridges dictates that these rifles are designed to be fired from the prone position. Bipods and mono-pods and muzzle brakes are used as accessories to employ these rifles as comfortably and accurately as possible. Firing several 12.7x99mm NATO, 12.7x108mm Russian, or larger calibers from the standing position or in a kneeling position would be very uncomfortable for the operator.

Bipods are mandatory, and various telescopic sights, tactical slings, patrol slings, and ergonomic stocks are all suitable for anti-material rifles.

Battle RiflesBattle rifles are select fire, semi-automatic, or bolt action rifles that use a full power rifle cartridge. Battle rifles go well with patrol slings.

Firearm Spotlight: The M1 Garand

The M1 Garand (officially designated as United States Rifle, Caliber .30, M1 and later simply Rifle, Caliber .30, M1, and also abbreviated as US Rifle, Cal..30, M1), was the first semi-automatic rifle to be generally issued to the infantry of any nation. Called "the greatest battle implement ever devised" by General George S. Patton, the Garand officially replaced the bolt-action M1903 Springfield as the standard service rifle of the United States Armed Forces in 1936 and was subsequently replaced by the selective fire M14 in 1957. However, the M1 continued to be used in large numbers until 1963 and to a lesser degree until 1966.The M1 "is an air-cooled, gas-operated, clip-fed, and semiautomatic shoulder weapon. After the eight rounds have been shot the clip automatically ejects causing a "ping" noise to occur.

The M1 was used extensively by U.S. forces in World War II, the Korean War, and, to a limited extent, the Vietnam War. Most M1 rifles were issued to Army and Marine troops, though many thousands were also lent or provided as foreign aid to America's allies. The Garand is still used by drill teams and military honor guards. It is also widely sought by the civilian population as a hunting rifle, target rifle, and military collectible. It is available for American civilian ownership through the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

Chapter 4: Shotguns

“We should have fuckin' shotguns” -Vincent Vega

A shotgun (also known as a scattergun and peppergun, or historically as a fowling piece) is a firearm that is usually designed to be fired from the shoulder, which uses the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot, or a solid projectile called a slug. Shotguns come in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from .22 inch bore up to 2 inch bore, and in a range of firearm operating mechanisms, including breech loading, single-barreled, double or combination gun, pump-action, bolt-, and lever-action, semi-automatic, and even fully automatic variants.

A shotgun is generally a smoothbore firearm, which means that the inside of the barrel is not rifled. Preceding smoothbore firearms, such as the musket, were widely used by armies in the 18th century. The direct ancestor to the shotgun, the blunderbuss, was also used in a similar variety of roles from self defense to riot control. It was often used by cavalry troops due to its generally shorter length and ease of use, as well as by coachmen for its substantial power. However, in the 19th century, these weapons were largely replaced on the battlefield with breechloading rifled firearms, which were more accurate over longer ranges. The military value of shotguns was rediscovered in the First World War, when American forces used 12-gauge pump action shotguns in close-quarters trench fighting to great effect. Since then, it has been used in a variety of roles in civilian, law enforcement, and military applications.

The shot pellets from a shotgun spread upon leaving the barrel, and the power of the burning charge is divided among the pellets, which means that the energy of any one ball of shot is fairly low. In a hunting context, this makes shotguns useful primarily for hunting birds and other small game. However, in a military or law enforcement context, the large number of projectiles makes the shotgun useful as a close quarters combat weapon or a defensive weapon. Shotguns are also used for target shooting sports such as skeet, trap, and sporting clays.

In the US and Canada, shotguns are widely used as a support weapon by police forces. One of the rationales for issuing shotguns is that even without much training, an officer will probably be able to hit targets at close to intermediate range, due to the "spreading" effect of buckshot. This is mainly a myth, due to the fact that the spread of shotgun at 25 ft, averages 8 inches, being very capable of missing a target. Some police forces are replacing shotguns in this role with carbine rifles such as AR-15s. Shotguns are also used in roadblock situations, where police are blocking a highway to search cars for suspects. In the US, law enforcement agencies often use riot shotguns, especially for crowd and riot control where they may be loaded with less-lethal rounds. Shotguns are also often used as breaching devices to defeat locks.

The downside to Shotguns, is that the shot quickly expend it's energy as the pellets fly farther, making them poor long range weapons, and even less-than-desirable medium range weapons. Shotguns, unlike any other weapon in Ops and Tactics, have their range penalties affect both their total damage, as well as their attack bonus.

234

Shotguns, like Rifles, are separated by their actions.

Break Action

For most of the history of the shotgun, the break-action breech loading double was the most common type, typically divided into three subtypes: the traditional "side by side" shotgun features two barrels mounted one beside the other (as the name suggests), the "over and under" shotgun has the two barrels mounted one on top of the other, and the single barrel shotgun. Side by side shotguns were traditionally used for hunting and other sporting pursuits (early long barreled side-by side shotguns were known as Fowling Pieces for their use hunting ducks and other birds), whereas over and under shotguns are more commonly associated with sporting use (such as clay pigeon/skeet shooting). Both types of double-barrel shotgun are used for hunting and sporting use, with the individual configuration largely being a matter of personal preference. Single barrel shotguns can be used for either use as well, but the single shot doesn't permit a user to participate in certain types of clay shooting.

Most Break action shotguns have two triggers, allowing the user to fire the barrel they prefer, which each may be loaded with different loads, or fire both barrels at the same time, for twice the load at a target. The downside to having two separate triggers is that the user must shift their hand in order to be able to manipulate each trigger. A newer style is to have a single trigger that fires one barrel first, then the other, in a predetermined sequence, that is reset when the action is broken and reloaded. The advantage to this is that the user doesn't have to shift their grip in order to fire quickly, but looses the ability to fire both barrels at once.

Pump Action

In pump-action shotguns, a sliding forearm handle (the pump) works the action, extracting the spent shell and inserting a new one while cocking the hammer or striker as the pump is worked. A pump gun is typically fed from a tubular magazine underneath the barrel, which also serves as a guide for the pump. The rounds are fed in one by one through a port in the receiver, where they are lifted by a lever called the elevator and pushed forward into the chamber by the bolt. A pair of latches at the rear of the magazine hold the rounds in place and facilitate feeding of one shell at a time. If it is desired toload the gun fully, a round may be loaded through the ejection port directly into the chamber, or cycled from the magazine, which is then topped off withanother round. Well-known examples include the Winchester Model 1897, Remington 870 and Mossberg 500/590.

235

Pump-action shotguns are common hunting, fowling and sporting shotguns. Hunting models generally have a barrel between 24 and 28 inches. They canalso easily be used with an empty magazine as a single-shot weapon, by simply dropping the next round to be fired into the open ejection port after the spent round is ejected. Pump action shotguns with shorter barrels and no barrel choke (or very little) are highly popular for use in home defense, militaryand law enforcement, and are commonly known as riot guns. The minimum barrel length for shotguns in most of the U.S. is 18" and this barrel length is the primary choice for riot shotguns. The shorter barrel makes the weapon easier to maneuver around corners and in tight spaces, though slightly longer barrels are sometimes used outdoors for a tighter spread pattern or increased accuracy of slug projectiles. Home-defense/law enforcement shotguns are usually chambered for 12-gauge shells, providing maximum shot power and the use of a variety of projectiles such as 00 Buckshot, rubber, sandbag and slug shells, but 20-gauge (common in bird-hunting shotguns) or .410 (common in youth-size shotguns) are also available in defense-type shotgun models allowing easier use by novice shooters.

A riot shotgun has many advantages over a handgun or rifle. Compared to "defense-caliber" handguns (chambered for 9x19mm Parabellum, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .40 S&W, .45 ACP and similar), a shotgun has far more power and damage potential, allowing a "one-shot stop" that is more difficult to achieve with typical handgun loads. Compared to a rifle, riot shotguns are easier to maneuver due to the shorter barrel, still provide better damage potential at indoor distances (generally 3–5 meters/yards), and reduce the risk of "overpenetration"; that is, the bullet or shot passing completely through the target and continuing beyond, which poses a risk to those behind the target through walls. The wide spread of the shot reduces the importance of shot placement compared to a single projectile, which increases the effectiveness of "point shooting" - rapidly aiming simply by pointing the weapon in the direction of the target. This allows easy, fast use by novices.

Pump action shotguns lacking a trigger disconnector can be slamfired, on purpose or otherwise, if the trigger is kept depressed whilst cycling the action. This permits a user to rapidly spray shells onto a target area and perform slamfire attacks.

Lever Action

Early attempts at repeating shotguns invariably centered around either bolt-or lever-action designs, drawing inspiration from contemporary repeating rifles, with the earliest successful repeating shotgun being the lever-action Winchester M1887, designed by John Browning at the behest of the WinchesterRepeating Arms Company.

Lever shotguns, while less common, were popular in the late 19th century with the Winchester Model 1887 and Model 1901 being prime examples. Initially very popular, demand waned after the introduction of pump-action shotguns at the turn of the century, and production was eventually discontinued in 1920.

One major issue with lever-actions (and to a lesser extent pump-actions) was that early shotgun shells were often made of paper or similar fragile materials (modern hulls are plastic or metal). As a result the loading of shells, or working of the action of the shotgun, could often result in cartridges getting crushed and becoming unusable, or even damaging the gun.

236

Lever shotguns have seen a return to the gun market in recent years, however, with Winchester producing the Model 9410 (chambering the .410 gauge shotgun shell and using the action of the Winchester Model 94 series lever-action rifle, hence the name), and a handful of other firearm manufacturers producing versions of the Winchester Model 1887/1901 designed for modern 12-gauge smokeless shotshells with more durable plastic casings.

Autoloading

Gas, inertia, or recoil operated actions are other popular methods of increasing the rate of fire of a shotgun; these are generally referred to as autoloaders or semi-automatics. Instead of having the action manually operated by a pump or lever, the action automatically cycles each time the shotgun is fired, ejecting the spent shell and reloading a fresh one into the chamber. The first successful semi-automatic shotgun was John Browning's Auto-5, first produced by Fabrique Nationale beginning in 1902. Other well-known examples include the Remington 1100, Benelli M1, and Saiga-12.

Some, such as the Franchi SPAS-12 and Benelli M3, are capable of switching between semi-automatic and pump action. These are popular for two reasons; first, some jurisdictions forbid the use of semi-automatic actions for hunting, and second, lower-powered rounds, like many less lethal cartridges, have insufficient power to reliably cycle a semi-automatic shotgun.Autoloading shotguns also encompasses shotguns that are fully automatic, such as the Daewoo USAS-12 and the AA-12

237

Variant Rule: Break Action, Lever Action, and Pump Action Shotguns

The Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook doesn't distinguish much between the three actions; It generally gives these three actions the same type of attacks: Single shot, and various others with the correct feat. The variant rule should be used if your players are aiming for a more realistic game, or you'd like another aspect to play out when choosing and using a shotgun.

Break Action Shotguns Break Action Shotguns are defined by their configuration, SxS for Side By Side shotguns, OxU for Over and Under Shotguns, and S for Single Barrel. Break Action Shotguns listed in Armory will have the firearms actual action, which can be used just as core rulebook: All shotguns perfom their single shot attacks, regardless of their configuration

SxS Break Action Shotgun: -1 Attack penalty when aiming for the same target on the second shot, but a +1 Attack bonus when aiming for a target adjacent to the first target.

OxU Break Action Shotgun: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus.

S Break Action Shotgun: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus.

Lever Action Shotgun: Cost +2 Combat Points when firing from prone and +1 when firing from kneeled, but -1 Combat Point when performing potshot attacks.

Pump Action Shotgun: Attacks gain no penalty or bonus.

Sporting ShotgunsA Sporting shotgun is a shotgun that focuses on accuracy, rather than ammo capacity. Sporting shotguns are simple to maintain, use, and clean. Most sporting shotguns are aimed at a particular sport, usually game hunting, for rifled barrels using slugs, or for fowl and clay shooting, with choked barrels.Sporting shotguns usually have lower capacities than their combat counterparts, but also less expensive, as they don't have to take the daily beatings of a combat shotgun, and thus don't need to be over engineered as such.

Combat ShotgunsA combat shotgun is a shotgun that focuses on close quarters combat and capacity, rather than precision. Combat shotguns typically have much shorter barrels than shotguns for hunting and usually, though not always, have magazines of modified design to hold more than the 3 to 5 shots normal with sporting or hunting shotguns. Most combat shotguns have tubular magazines to hold the cartridges, mounted underneath the barrel, identical to those ofhunting shotguns except for being longer to hold more ammunition, though some recent designs have detachable box magazines. Because of these, combat shotguns can tend to be more expensive than their sporting counterparts.

Chapter 5: Machine Guns

[Reading what McClane wrote on the dead terrorist's shirt] "Now I have a machine gun. Ho ho ho."~Hans Gruber

A machine gun is a fully automatic mounted or portable firearm, usually designed to fire rounds in quick succession from an ammunition belt or large-capacity magazine, typically at a rate of several hundred rounds per minute.

Machine guns are generally categorized as machine guns, or autocannons. Machine guns are often portable to a certain degree, but is generally used when mounted on a stand or fired from the ground on a bipod. Light machine guns are small enough to be fired and hand held like a rifle, but the gun is more effective when fired from a prone position, while General Purpose machineguns are almost always too heavy to be fired and held like a rifle, and are near required to be fired with support. The difference between machine guns and autocannons is based on caliber, with autocannons using calibers larger than 16 mm.

Man-Portable Machine guns are split into two categories: Light and General Purpose. Light machine guns are often used as Squad Automatic Weapons, automatic weapons used to give infantry squads a portable source of automatic, focused fire, that can be carried and maintained by one member of the unit, while General Purpose machine guns, which can be used by one person, usually benefit greatly by having other soldiers help in the aspect of reloading, barrel changing, and carrying ammunition, because of the weight.

The machine gun's primary role in modern ground combat is to provide suppressive fire on an opposing force's position, forcing the enemy to take cover and reducing the effectiveness of his fire. This either halts an enemy attack or allows friendly forces to attack enemy positions with less risk. Because of this, most machineguns do not even posses a selector switch, and fire in automatic only mode.

Machineguns that used linked ammunition can sometimes equip ammo boxes to hold the rounds. These boxes come in various sizes, and all boxes cost 3 WP.

263

Variant Rule: Automatic Fire and Barrel heat

The Ops and Tactics Core Rulebook does not acknowledge one of the most important problems with sustained machine gun fire: Heat. An overheated barrel will warp, and ruin the rifling in the gun, causing the machine gun to become horribly inaccurate, and eventually break. Machine guns listed in Armory will have listings for how long a machine can fire continuously before beginning to overheat.

Each Round the machine gun is fired continuously (Through Autofire or Suppressive Fire) after the listed rounds, the machinegun begins to overheat.

An overheated machinegun gains 15% error range due to heat, and loses 20% of it's range(Multiply Range by .2, then subtract from current range, rounded up to the nearest 5 feet) for every round it is fired while overheated. When this error range becomes 80% or above due to this, the barrel is too hot to touch, even with gloves, and must be cooled down via water or by waiting. A barrel cools at 15% error range per round when waiting. Dumping water on the barrel cools it down twice as fast as it would take through waiting. Unlike the error range, the barrel does not regain the accuracy lost due to overheating, and the only way to return it to normal is to change out the barrel. Changing a barrel cost 9 Combat Points, and requires work gloves or some other form of protection from the heat. Spare barrels cost 10% of the Machinegun's cost(Multiply the cost by .1, Rounded up to the nearest whole Wealth Point).

Light Machine GunsA light machine gun is a machine gun designed to be employed by an individual soldier, with or without an assistant, as an infantry support weapon. Light machine guns are often used as squad automatic weapons. They often use belts of linked ammunition, instead of loose rounds or magazines.

Modern light machine guns often fire smaller-caliber cartridges than medium machine guns, and are usually lighter and more compact. However a light machine gun is defined by its usage as well as its specifications: some machine guns - notably general-purpose machine guns - may be deployed either asa light machine gun or a medium machine gun. Deployed with a bipod, and firing short bursts it is a light machine gun; if deployed on a tripod and usedfor sustained-fire it is a medium machine gun.

Chapter 6: Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers and Mortars

“A bullet may have your name one it, but a grenade is labeled 'To whom it may concern'”~ U.S. Military mantra.

A grenade launcher or grenade discharger is a weapon that launches a grenade with more accuracy, higher velocity, and to greater distances than a soldier could throw it by hand. Grenade launchers can either come in the form of standalone weapons (either single-shot or repeating) or attachments mounted under the barrel of a rifle. Some rifles have been designed to fire rifle grenades, either from their muzzle or from a detachable muzzle-mounted launcher.

Most grenade launchers are man-portable, shoulder-fired weapons issued on a squad level, though larger launchers are sometimes mounted on armored vehicles. The most common grenade round in use by modern militaries is the 40 mm fragmentation grenade, which is effective against a wide range of targets including infantry and lightly armored vehicles. The ability of the grenade launcher to loft payloads in a high arc has resulted in many 'specialty' grenades such as less-lethal sponge grenades.

A rocket launcher is any device that launches a rocket-propelled projectile, although the term is often used in reference to mechanisms that are portable and capable of being operated by an individual. Weapon systems that fall into this category include the shoulder-launched missile weapon, the wider international term for any weapon that fires a rocket-propelled projectile at a target, yet is small enough to be carried by a single person, and fired while held on one's shoulder. However, the term bazooka, is also often used for any shoulder-launched rocket weapon.

Specific types of rocket launchers within this group include the rocket-propelled grenade, better known as the RPG, which is a type of shoulder-launched

281

anti-tank weapon designed by the Soviet Union; the anti-tank guided missile, a guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy heavily-armored tanks and other armored fighting vehicles; and the Man-portable air-defense systems, which provides shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles.

A mortar is an indirect fire weapon that fires explosive projectiles known as (mortar) bombs at low velocities, short ranges, and high-arcing ballistic trajectories. It is typically muzzle-loading. A mortar is relatively simple and easy to operate. A modern mortar consists of a tube into which gunners drop a purpose-designed bomb. The tube is generally set at between 45 and 85 degrees angle to the ground, with the higher angle giving shorter firing distances. The bomb has no cartridge case; the propellant is attached to the bomb's fins. When it reaches the base of the tube it hits a firing pin, which detonates the propellant and fires the projectile.

Mortars are portable, and usually used by infantry units. The chief advantage a mortar section has over an artillery battery is the flexibility of small numbers, and mobility. Mortars are able to fire from the protection of a trench. In these aspects the mortar is an excellent infantry support weapon, as it can be transported over any terrain and is not burdened by the logistical support needed for artillery.

Modern-Day Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers, and Mortars

Under-barrel Grenade LaunchersAn under-barrel grenade launcher is a grenade launcher that attaches to a tactical rail under a rifle. It can not be used without being attached. Under-barrel grenade launchers require the Explosive Weapons Proficiency feat in order to be used without a -4 attack penalty.

Stand Alone Grenade LaunchersA stand alone grenade launcher is a grenade launcher that may be used without being attached to any rifle, serving as as stand alone weapon. These can also be underbarrel grenade launchers that have a stand alone mounting platform. Stand alone grenade launchers require the Explosive Weapons Proficiency in order to be used without a -4 attack penalty.

The man-portable grenade launcher can come in the form of either a single-shot weapon or a repeating weapon resembling a large revolver or pump-action shotgun. They fill the gap between the hand grenade and the mortar.

Rocket LaunchersA rocket launcher is a weapon that launches a high explosive rocket to destroy hard targets, such as vehicles, buildings, and equipment. Rocket launchersrequire the Explosive Weapons Proficiency feat in order to be used without a -4 attack penalty.

Variant Rule: Rocket Back Blast

Backblast is a cone-shaped area behind a rocket launcher where hot gases are expelled when the rocket is discharge. The backblast area is dangerous to others, who may be burned by the gases or exposed to overpressure caused by the explosion. In confined spaces, common in urban warfare, even the operators themselves may be at risk.

All Rocket Launchers, when fired, also create a 10ft cone directly behind them, that deals 4d6 fire damage to anyone standing in it.

Firearm Spotlight: The RPG-7

The RPG-7 is a widely-produced, portable, unguided, shoulder-launched, anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade launcher. Originally the RPG-7 (Ruchnoy Protivotankovyy Granatomyot, Hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher) and its predecessor, the RPG-2, were designed by the Soviet Union and are now manufactured by the Bazalt company. The English-language term "RPG", meaning "rocket-propelled grenade", though frequently encountered and reasonably descriptive, is not based on a literal translation.

286

The launcher is reloadable and based around a simple steel tube, 40 millimeters in diameter, 95.3 centimeters long, and weighing 7 kilograms. The middle of the tube is wood wrapped to protect the user from heat and the end is flared to assist in blast shielding and recoil reduction. Sighting is usually optical with a back-up iron sight, and passive infra-red and night sights are also available.

The ruggedness, simplicity, low cost, and effectiveness of the RPG-7 has made it the most widely used anti-tank weapon in the world. Currently around 40 countries use the weapon, and it is manufactured in a number of variants by nine countries. It is also popular with irregular and guerrilla forces. The RPG has been used in almost all conflicts across all continents since the mid-1960s from the Vietnam War to the present day War in Afghanistan.

Chapter 7: Black Powder Firearms

Black powder firearms are firearms that, instead of using fully assembled cartridges, load the bullet, primer, and powder in the gun's barrel or cylinder.

The benefits to black powder are as long as a character has access to the bare materials, they can still use the weapon, and the weapon can have custom charges per barrel or cylinder. The Downsides are that black powder firearms are much slower to reload, can become unreliable if even rained on, and if the charge isn't loaded correctly, can cause the shot to fizzle, or even explode in the user's face. Each barrel or cylinder takes 12 Combat Points to load.

Because the powder has to be loaded manually, a black powder firearm can be loaded in one of three configurations. It can be loaded lightly, which grants -1 damage die but reduces the error range by 10%, normally, which grants no bonus or penalties, or heavily, which grants +1 damage die, but increases the weapon's Error range by 20%. If a black powder weapon is loaded heavily, and fails it's Error Range check, it explodes, and causes 1d8 slashing damage to it's user, as well as destroys the firearm. Because of how black powder weapons work, the error range is checked before, not after, a weapon is fired, to see if the gun went off at all.

One lb. Of powder provides 60 light loads, 30 normal loads, or 15 heavy loads. The Black Powder Firearms Proficiency Feat is required to load black powder firearms, and use them without a -4 attack penalty, however, any character with the Personal Firearms Proficiency can use a Black Powder weapon without penalty, but cannot reload them.

Chapter 8: New Equipment and GunsmithingThis chapter outlines new equipment for firearms, as well as provides variant rules for the old equipment.

Cased Ammunition TypesCased ammunition is ammunition that uses a metal case to hold all of the components of the ammunition together, normally made of brass, steel, or aluminum. A box of Cased ammunition weighs 18 oz per 50 rounds.

Semi Jacketed Hollow-Point (SJHP): This ammunition contains a conical cavity in the nose that “mushrooms” in a target, transferring greater kinetic energy, but the metal jacket extends about halfway up the bullet, exposingthe bare lead underneath, allowing for a smoother load. It provides a +1 damage bonus.

Semi Jacketed Soft Point (SJSP) Ammunition: This ammunition is a bullet that has the metal jacket that extendsabout halfway up the bullet, exposing the bare lead underneath. It provides a +2 damage bonus, and +10% error range.

Wadcutter (WC) Ammunition: This ammunition is a special-purpose flat-fronted bullet specially designed for shooting paper targets, usually at close range and at subsonic velocities. It provides a +4 damage to unarmored targets within the first range increment, and a +30% error range.

Semiwadcutter (SWC) Ammunition: This ammunition is a compromise between the Wadcutter and FMJ/Lead ammunition, featuring the sharp edges of a wadcutter, with the slight tapered nose of a FMJ/Lead bullets. It provides a +2 damage to unarmored targets within 3 range increments, and a +10% error range.

Exploding Ammunition: This ammunition is a bullet that has a small cavity filled with low explosives within the tip, designed to go off once it impacts something hard, such as bone. It grants 1 additional dice damage of concussion damage that affects the target's Core HP immediately, and +10% error range.

Solid Ammunition: This ammunition is a bullet machined completely out of a solid piece of metal, usually copper or brass. It provides a +6 damage bonus, and a +50% error range.

Rat Shot Ammunition: This ammunition is a bullet with a plastic cap filled with birdshot, turning any firearm loaded with it into an impromptu shotgun. It grands a -8 damage penalty and a +2 to attack rolls, but is only effective for 50 feet.

Shell Ammunition TypesShell ammunition is ammunition that uses a plastic, brass or paper shell to hold all of the components of the ammunition together. A Box of shell ammunition weights 32 oz per 25 shells.

#4 Buckshot Ammunition: This ammunition consists of .24 inch heavy lead balls fired simultaneously from a single shell. It is weaker than buckshot, but still an effective defensive load. It grants a -4 damage penalty, but can be used in choked barrels without damaging it.

Wax Slug Ammunition: This ammunition consist of bird shot that has been solidified in wax. It grants +1 damage die.

295

Stun Ammunition: This ammunition is a shotgun-launchable flashbang shell, that works exactly like it's thrown counterpart. It has a range of 45 feet maximum, and a burst radius of 15 feet. Any target caught in the blast mustmake a Will saving throw(DC16) or be blinded for 1d4 rounds, and a fortitude saving throw(DC16) to avoid being deafened for 1d4 rounds. It grants +55% error range.

Grenade Ammunition TypesGrenade ammunition is ammunition that is used in grenade launchers.

Airburst Grenade: These grenades are fused to explode before they hit the ground, thereby causing the maximum amount of damage to soft targets.

Thermobaric Grenade: These grenades are fuel-air bomb, that use the surrounding air in order to keep the fire and explosion running. Anything caught in a thermobaric grenade explosion is immediately on fire.

Grapnel Grenade: These grenades come with 100 feet of paracord, and a hook built into the grenade. These grenades can fire 80 feet straight up, or 120 feet at a specific target or square.

New Ranged Weapon Upgrades

Barrel Upgrades

Compensator(Barrel): A compensator is a weighted attachment that helps offset the recoil when firing multiple shots. It grants a +2 to attack on all multi-shot attack rolls, but a -2 to all stealth checks made to hide the firearm. If a firearm has a compensator, it may not be threaded or ported. Only Handguns and Machine-pistols may use this upgrade.

Removable Choke Barrel(Barrel):This replacement barrel is threaded for different types of chokes, allowing a character to change the type of spread by changing out the choke tubes. The Barrel comes with 5 types of choke tubes, as listed below.

• Extra Full Choke: Increases a Shotgun's Range by 20 feet when using Birdshot• Full Choke: Grants a +1 to attack rolls and increases a shotgun's range by 10 feet when using Birdshot• Modified Choke: Grants a +2 to Attack rolls when using Birdshot• Improved Cylinder Choke: Grants a +1 to Attack rolls when using Birdshot or #4 Buckshot• Skeet Choke: Use any ammunition for no penalty, but decreases a shotgun's range by 10 feet.

If any other type of shell is used in the shotgun other than the ammunition listed above, or the shotgun is fired without a choke, the barrel is completely destroyed, and the user takes 2d8 slashing damage. Changing a choke cost 8 Combat Points. Only Shotguns may use this upgrade.

Ergonomics and Aesthetic Upgrades

Integral Stock(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon a stock built into the weapon, minimizing the space it takes up, but still allowing for a balancing stock to be pulled out if needed to be used. When the stock is extended, it gives a +1 to all multi-shot attacks and decreases the Combat Point cost to perform a single shot attack by 1. An integral stock may not be used to rifle butt. When it is reassessed, a weapon is considered medium sized. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Handguns, SMGs, and Machine Pistols may use thisupgrade.

Speedfeed Stock(Frame): This upgrade gives the weapon a stock with built in shell holders. It grants a +1 attack bonus to all multi-shot attacks, decreases the Combat Point cost to perform a single shot attack by 1, and stores 4 shells for use without reaching into a pack to retrieve ammunition. A speedfeed stock may not be used to rifle butt. When a medium or smaller weapon is upgraded with a stock, it's size rating increases to large. A weapon can only have one stock upgrade at one time. Only Shotguns may use this upgrade.

Tactical Upgrades

Lanyard(Frame): This accessory is a coiled lanyard for handguns, that allows a character to always keep their handgun within reach if it's dropped. The lanyard can stretch a maximum of 5 feet from the person or object it's attached to, and can be used to retrieve or pull back the pistol if it's dropped, without dropping to kneeling or prone to pick it up. Only Handguns and Machine Pistols may use this upgrade.

297

Handgun Mount(Frame for the Handgun, Tactical for the Rifle): This accessory is a mount for a handgun to mount it on one of the tactical rails of a rifle. It allows for doublefire attacks. Mounting a handgun on the mount cost 13 Combat Points. Only Rifles may use this upgrade, and only handguns may be mounted.

Pistol Bayonet(Tactical): This accessory is an escape knife attached to the tactical rail of a handgun. It may be removed or attached for 2 combat points, or used while still attached to the gun. Only Handguns may use this upgrade.

Magazine Foregrip(Tactical): This accessory fits the tactical rail with a clip that may be slipped on and off, allowing the shooter to use a handgun magazine as a vertical fore grip, giving a shooter more leverage. Attaching a magazine from or to the grip cost 7 combat points. When a magazine is attached, it grants a +1 to all multi-shot attacks. Only Handguns and Machine Pistols may use this upgrade.

Gunsmithing

A gunsmith is a person who repairs, modifies, designs, or builds firearms. This occupation is different from an armorer. The armorer primarily maintains (disassembly, cleaning) weapons and limited repairs involving parts replacement and possibly work involving accurization. A gunsmith does factory level repairs, renovation (such as applying metal finishes), and makes modifications and alterations for special uses. Gunsmiths may also applycarvings, engravings and other decorative features to an otherwise finished gun. Gunsmithing falls under Craft: Mechanical, and all the rolls and DCs are for that skill.

Crafting a brand new firearmWhen crafting a new firearm, a character must first pick what current category the firearm would fit into, or the best case that the firearm would fit into. Aspects such as caliber, magazine size, feed type, barrel length and range, and size, can all play into this.

When crafting a firearm, a character must meet the minimum requirements for caliber(For example, if a firearm has a minimum of 4th category, and the cost is +2 DC per category, then the minimum DC would be 8 + 5(For thebase DC

A firearm can use preexisting magazine for +5 Craft DC

The GM decides, based on the firearm the players want to craft, what the size and weight of it would be.

CategoryThe category of a firearm is determined by it's size, ammunition, magazine and feed type. Below are some general examples of what each category represents.

Crafting any firearm as a base DC of 5, with an error range of 45%, and the wealth cost for the created firearm is Total DC.

299

Holdout HandgunsHoldout handguns are generally no bigger than Small sized, with a +2 bonus to stealth. Most holdout handguns use small, weak calibers, such as .22 LR and .25 ACP. These typically use removable magazines, while larger calibers, such as 9x19mm and .45 ACP are typically single or double shot weapons. They can be either revolvers, or semi-automatic pistols. Because of their size, they usually use either Single Action, or Double Action Only. Because of their size and barrel length, they rarely get past 25 feet per range increment.

If the character does this, they do not have to add the DC to the firearm's total level, but the firearm must use the same caliber of ammunition that the corresponding magazine and firearm uses.

300

Backup HandgunsBackup Handguns are between Small sized with a +2 bonus to stealth, to Small sized. Backup handguns, being larger, have a more choices for calibers, using the same calibers that fullsized handguns use, such as .38 Special, 9x19mm, and .40 S&W., though at a diminished capacity. They can also be revolvers or semi-automatic pistols, using a number of actions such as Double Action Only, Double Action/Single Action, and Double Action, as well as Preset Action. Their range increment is usually between 25 and 30 feet.

Full Sized HandgunsFull Sized handguns are usually Small Sized. They take your typical handgun cartridges, such as .38 Special, .357Magnum, and .45 ACP, usually at their full capacity. They sometimes share magazines with their backup handgun counterparts. Because size is not a real factor, any action can be used, but Double Action/Single Action, Double Action, and Preset Actions are most common. Their range increment are usually between 30 and 35 feet, but having longer ranges is not unheard of.

Target Handguns and Hunting HandgunsTarget Handguns can be anywhere from Small to Medium sized, and can span a wide variety of cartridges, all the way from .22 LR, up to rifle cartridges such as the 5.56x45mm. Hunting handguns are generally larger caliber, usually calibers such as the .44 Magnum, and .50 AE. Ranges are usually from 30 feet all the way up to 50feet.

303

Machine PistolsMachine Pistols are usually Small to Medium Sized, and are generally chambered in calibers that full sized handguns are chambered in. A few share magazines with their full sized handgun counterparts, but this is rare. Machine pistols generally have an automatic fire, but that's hardly a requirement. They do, however, have large magazines. They also tend to have removable stocks, or vertical foregrips, to control their automatic fire. They are generally fired in closed bolt position. Ranges generally span the same as fullsized handguns, but they are considered a scale of firepower, because of their automatic rate of fire.

Carbine RiflesCarbine rifles are almost always Large, chambered in intermediate rifle cartridges, such as .223 Rem/5.56x45mm,or full power rifle cartriges such as .308 Win/7.62x51mm, with magazines ranging from 10 to 35 rounds. There also exist a subsection called the pistol caliber carbine, which shoots pistol caliber rounds, such as the 9x19mm, and is always semi-automatic, as a fully automatic pistol carbine is a submachine gun. All Carbine rifles are crafted with a fixed stock.

These weapons are almost always Huge in Size, and require bipods in order to use properly. They can be bolt action, or semi automatic, but ranges are at least 150 feet.All Anti-material rifles are crafted with a bipod and a fixed stock.

AR-15 BuildingThe AR pattern rifle is one of the most versatile rifles to exist, with tons of accessories made for it. Because of it's design, it is very easy to switch out large parts, and design a customized, personal rifle.

An AR is comprised of two major parts; An Upper Receiver and a Lower Receiver.

Lower Receiver Types

Lower Receiver, which encompasses the magazine well, the frame, the stock, and the trigger group.

Pistol: A Pistol lower receiver is a stripped down receiver, containing the bare necessities for a fully functioning firearm, but not much else. Pistol lowers are equipped with a pistol grip, and do not have any way of mounting a stock to the frame. These lowers are generally marketed at the civilian market, and usually come in Semi-automatic only.

Carbine Rifle: A Carbine Rifle lower receiver is a receiver that has a synthetic stock for weight, while still providing some support. These are the most common AR lowers, as they can be swapped out for a different stock, or used bare with a carbine length upper receiver. These lowers are the lowers found on the M4A1 and M4, and can be purchased with 3 round burst or Fully automatic firing modes(But not both), in addition to semi-automatic, or semi-automatic only.

Assault Rifle: An Assault Rifle lower receiver is a receiver with the standard fixed stock. They are balanced for accuracy, but lack a bit on the weight aspect. These Lowers are the lowers found on the M16 Series of rifles, and can be purchased with 3 round burst or Fully automatic firing modes(But not both), in addition to semi-automatic, or semi-automatic only.

Designated Marksman Rifle: A Designated Marksman Rifle lower receiver is a receiver that has been optimized for long range shooting, including a Precision Upgrade and either a synthetic stock, or a fixed stock. Because of their nature and intended puprose, they are usually semi-automatic only.

Upper Receiver Types

The Upper Receiver includes the barrel and chamber, bolt, gas system, tactical rails, optics and optics mount. Because this part has the actual barrel and chamber, this is the part that actually determines the rifle's caliber.

Pistol: A pistol upper receiver is a receiver intended to be paired with a pistol lower. They typically have barrels about 6 to 7 inches long, which limits the gun's ablity to be effectively engage in any long range fights. These are also mated with Carbine Rifle lowers, for those who need stabilized, high firepower, in a small configuration, and accuracy at longer ranges is not an issue. Because of it's length, it skirts the penalties that are associated with using a rifle adjacently to someone.

CQB Rifle: This upper has a barrel length between 10 to 12 inches, primarily used by special operations forces in urban, indoor, or other tight quarter locations. They have a good balance between maneuverability and range, but are still easily outclassed by the shortest of carbines. They go well with Carbine lowers, to make a light, effective rifle with good firepower. Because of it's length, it skirts the penalties that are associated with using a rifle adjacently to someone.

Carbine Rifle: This upper has a barrel length between 14 to 16 inches, and is the general size for soldiers who don't need a full sized rifle, such as those in vehicles. It is a good compromise between range and maneuverability, being the largest upper that doesn't receive penalties for fighting adjacent to an enemy. They are normally paired with Carbine lowers, or less often, Assault Rifle Uppers.

Assault Rifle: At 18 to 20 inches, this upper has good range, at the loss of weight and maneuverability. These rifles are very common and popular with hunters, action shooter sport enthusiast, and multiple law enforcement agencies. The are commonly paired with Carbine Rifle lowers and Assault Rifle Lowers, but have also been paired with Designated Marksman Rifle lowers.

Chapter 9: Weapons in Use

This chapter talks about the general trends that firearms have followed throughout the years, as well as trends that generally follow for the armed citizen. In most campaigns, players should be free to choose the weapons for their characters; however, if they don’t know what to choose, this section can provide some useful advice, depending on what kind of The information in this chapter, and more broadly, this book, focuses on the United States and it's firearm laws. For other countries, similar firearms should be used, but they might not be as common for some types of characters. For instance, in the U.K. , a bartender might have a bat over a shotgun, but an armored car guard will probably be armed along the same lines as Their U.S. Counterpart.

This chapter also covers what kinds of ammunition and reserve weapons various organizations would have on hand, if need called for them.

Local and State Law Enforcement

Local and State Law Enforcement encompasses the major uniformed officers who deal with local and state crime, investigating everything from petty thief and indecency calls, all the way to statewide drug rings and murder sprees. They generally do not contact Federal Agencies(Or are contacted by federal agencies), unless the case becomes a federal case, that is, crosses state lines. They will often call in Federal Agencies for guidance and assistance on things that are out of their scope, such as profiling.

Small Police Station or Sheriff's Department

A Small police station is a station that has less than 20 sworn in officers or deputies. Because of this, service handgun restrictions are generally lax, usually consisting of caliber requirement for the selected handgun(From 9x19mm up to .45 ACP), and the requirement that the officer or deputy be able to qualify and display proper useand maintenance of their weapon. Because of their size, officers and deputies are heavily stressed to carry a backup weapon. Police stations and Sheriffs departments of this size generally do not have their own SWAT team, and usually have to ask a larger, nearby department, for assistance. Service handgun habits for departments of this size span the entire department, from the rookie Patrol Officer or Deputy, all the way up to the Chief or Sheriff.

The Armory may include between 1-5 extra boxes of JHP/JSP Ammo for duty work, 6-8 boxes of 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot Ammo, and 3-5 12 Gauge pump action shotguns of assorted manufacturer.

Examples of these Police Stations and Sheriff's Departments include small town Sheriff's Department or CampusPolice at a small college.

337

Medium-Sized Police Station or Sheriff's Department

A Medium police station is a station that has between 21-100 sworn in officers or deputies. They generally issue specific firearms, though the requirement that the officer or deputy be able to qualify and display proper use and maintenance of their weapon still applies. Popular firearms for Police Stations and Sheriff's Departments for their officers and deputies include the Glock Series in 9x19mm, .45 ACP, and .40 S&W, The Smith and Wesson 59 Series and the M&P Series in 9x19mm and .40 S&W, The SIG P229 in .40 S&W, the Springfield Armory GI 1911A1in .45 APC, and the XD in .40 S&W and .45 ACP, and The Beretta 92FS in 9x19mm and the Px4 in 9x19mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. In addition to their sidearm, they often carry an expendable or fixed baton, pepper spray or for more well funded departments, a Tazer, at least two reloads for their sidearm, a multi tool or folding knife, a small flashlight, a pair of handcuffs, and a radio. They are also issued a ballistic vest, or receive a stipen to pay for one. Detectives and Investigators will generally carry the same firearms issued to the officers, though older detectives grandfathered in before the widespread use of automatics will carry their .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers, such as the Colt Detective Special and the Smith and Wesson Model 36, as well as a pair of handcuffs. Higher officers, such as the Captains, Majors and Chiefs, pull double duty and are out on the street just as much as they are in the office, carrying what suits them.

The SWAT team is usually comprised of various officers who work their normal duty work until their services are needed. Unlike the standard officers, SWAT team members generally carry personalized handguns, that havebeen fitted to their specific needs. The SWAT team, when on a mission is equipped with Shotguns such as the Mossberg 590A1 and Remington 870 Police, Sub-machine guns such as the HK MP5A4 and MP5A5, UMP9, UMP40, and UMP 45, and Bolt action rifles such as the Remington 700P, as well as a Single Entry shield. A SWATteam in a department of this size will also have Tear Gas and Smoke grenades.

The armory will have 10-15 extra boxes of JHP/JSP Ammo for regular duty work, 8-10 boxes of FMJ/Lead for target practice, 10-20 boxes of 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot Ammo, and 5-8 boxes of 12 Gauge Nonlethal beanbag and rubber ball ammo. The armory will also have between 5-25 spare handguns that have not been issued or are spares, with extra magazines for these handguns, as well as 6-10 12 Gauge pump action shotguns, usually of an unformed nature, the most common being the Mossberg 500 and the Remington 870 Express.

Examples of these Police Stations and Sheriff's Departments include a State Patrol, Large town police force or Campus Police at a large University.

Large Police Station or Sheriff's Department

A Large police station is a station that has over 100 sworn in officers or deputies. These stations or departments are generally stringent on their specific firearms, sticking to strictly issued firearms for it's personnel. They follow the same trends a medium sized police station would in choice of firearms and issued equipment, thoughthe requirement that the officer or deputy be able to qualify and display proper use and maintenance of their weapon still applies. Detectives and Investigators will generally carry the same firearms issued to the officers. Higher officers, such as the Captains, Majors and Chiefs, are usually confined to clerical and managerial work, and as such, do not make it a habit to carry a weapon while on duty.

338

The SWAT team in a large Station is comprised of dedicated officers who are solely on the SWAT team, and do not do patrol work. Because of their area of coverage, they are mostly active answering calls where their forces are needed, and when not doing so, are undergoing training to keep their skills sharp until their services are needed. SWAT team members generally are relaxed from the strict requirements that other officers are imposed about their sidearms, allowing to choose a sidearm to fit their specific needs. The SWAT team would have the same equipment as a medium-sized department, just more of it, but would also possess shotguns such as the Mossberg 930 Tactical, Remington 1100, and Benelli M1014, Carbine Rifles such as the Colt M4, H&K G36K, Designated Marksman Rifles such as the H&K PSG1 and M14 SWS, and even Grenade launchers such as the H&K M320, as well as multiple Entry shields and riot shields. A SWAT team in a department of this size will also have Tear Gas, Smoke Sting, Stun and even Concussion grenades. Departments such as these also have weapons dedicated for purely non-lethal engagement, and will have multiple .68 Cal. Paint-ball markers for subduing a subject without firearms.

The armory for a large Police Department will have hundreds of boxes of various types of ammunition, though abulk of their ammunition will be JHP/JSP issued for duty. The armory will also not only have a multitude of spare firearms and magazines, but will possess it's own staff of armorers dedicated to repairing, maintaining, and cataloging said firearms.

Examples of these Police Stations and Sheriff's Departments include police forces of Metropolises, such as the New York City police Department, the Los Angeles Police Department, and the Atlanta Police department, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

Park Rangers

Park rangers hold a special place in Law enforcement, in the fact that they do not perform just the standard duties that is associated with law enforcement. In addition to enforcing park regulations and laws, they are charged with educating the various visitors of the parks, which can be as simple as weather forecast and giving directions, to complex as giving full guided tours that talk about the park's ecology, history, and demonstrations.They are also charged with watching for forest fires and answering emergency calls and dispatching help to those in need.

Because of their somewhat remote nature, Most park Rangers carry weapons that would be considered heavy or excessive in a civilian setting, with revolvers chambered in .44 Magnum or .454 Casull, or autoloaders chambered in .45 ACP or 10mm, to stop large animals such as bears and mountain lions. They also generally have a shotgun or rifle in their vehicle, as well as a complete medical kit, a map of the area, a compass, flashlight,blankets, water and food rations.

339

Federal Agencies

Federal Agencies are agencies that investigate Federal crimes, that is, crimes that are either attempted against theentire United States of America, or that involve multiple states.

The Underworld

The underworld encompasses the world of crime that exist as a whole, spanning everything from petty drug dealers to crime lords, Mafia bosses, and Set leaders, who control and run the lower soldiers and gang members.

Petty Criminals

This group encompasses singular criminals, petty thieves, con-men, and singular drug dealers. These criminals have their fingers directly in the crime, though most of their crime is either opportunistic, or for profit.

Low level criminals don't have a specific group of firearms: they can quite literally be caught with anything froma single shot pistol from World War 2 to a Fully automatic assault rifle. As a general rule, these criminals, if they go armed, generally use melee weapons for their ease of acquisition, lack of restriction, simplicity in use, and sometimes, added benefit of plausible deniability. When they do carry firearms, they prefer any gun that can be concealed, and is available. Because of their criminal records, they can not go and purchase a firearm from a legal dealer, instead opting for illegal street deals, or stealing a firearm.

Street Gangs

This group is a level above the unstructured criminal, and includes street gangs with an identifiable power structure and leader. These groups generally deal purely in profit, often coming from the same neighborhood or of a similar race, creed, or lifestyle. They usually also have a mutualistic interest: Money, and work together because of it, and the chaos and criminalistic activity they cause is merely a byproduct. They usually wear identifying colors or pieces of clothing, such as certain colors, or even leather jackets or vest with the club's insignia.

Outlaw motorcycle gangs are atypical of this behavior, as the chaos and criminialistc behavior are the desired ways of life, and the criminal enterprise is a means to live, in order to continue the life of chaos.

Smaller street gangs are generally equipped with concealable handguns and pump-action shotguns, as these are the cheapest to acquire, use, and replace, while the larger gangs may possess heavier firepower such as automatic weapons such as assault rifles, and even anti-material rifles.

342

Gang Leaders and Crime Boses

Gang leaders generally prefer to keep their hands clean of any actual violence or drugs, preferring to delegate those task to lower ranking gang members, but will generally carry a smaller concealable handgun of decent to high quality, such as the Kahr handgun series, the Walther PP Series, the SIG P290 and P238,and the Glock 26, 27, and 28. These are usually tucked away inside briefcases, bags, and under suit jackets.

Drug Cartels

A drug cartel is a criminal organization developed with the primary purpose of promoting and controlling drug trafficking operations. They can range from an agreement between two street gangs to work together, all the wayup to interstate and even international, multi billion dollar formal industries.

While they have a similar structure to a common street gang, their size, funding and training rivals legitimate governmental agencies. Most soldiers in a drug cartel are trained in the various arts of asymmetrical warfare, close-quarters combat, weapons handling and maintenance, and some have even received explosives handing and training. Most of this training comes form legitimate state training, which the knowledge is then passed down if an officer dissents.

Weapons carried by the cartel include, but are by no means limited to, M16, M4, AK-47 and AKM assault rifles, shotguns of every make and model, AT4 and M72 LAW rocket launchers, M79 Grenade launchers, and even Barret M82B anti-material rifles. The ATF has come under firer for arming the drug cartels under the guise of attempting to trace guns back to Mexico.

Assassins and Hit Men

Assassins are people who commit a targeted murder. Hit men are assassins for hire.

Assassins and hit men's method of killing can range from poisoning to blowing up an entire car, but when firearms are involved, they prefer to either fire from a long distance, using a high powered rifle with a scope andpossibly a suppressor, or close range with a suppressed handgun, or machine pistol. They also use a melee weapon, a knife usually, for truly quiet kills.

Gunrunners and Arms Traffickers

Gunrunners and arms traffickers are people who smuggle contraband weapons and ammunition for a profit. They sell their arms, acquired legally or otherwise, to anyone who has the cash and need. Arms traffickers and gunrunners should not be confused with people who sell firearms for legal commerce, such as a legally operating gunstore.

Because of their nature of business, they have the best selection and quantity of weapons: it's their business to have as such. Gunrunners are generally heavily armed, either by choice or simply by having stock, usually with a few handguns and an assault rifle or two, as well as grenades, explosives, magazines, ammunition, and anything else their customers would like to sample. They also have a tendency to wear body armor, in order to avoid getting killed by their own merchandise.

343

Insurgents and Terrorist

Insurgents and Terrorist armament depends completely on their funding, and their supporters. Underfunded insurgents will use crude, homemade firearms, while well funded and equipped insurgents will use everything from Fully automatic rifles to Rocket Launchers. Because of their nature, any weapon is viable for a terrorist or insurgent.

Civilian Forces

Civilian forces encompass regular people who have a mind to carry a firearm for protection, specifically those who have to do so as a part of a job, but are not law enforcement, or regular citizens who prefer to have their protection and safety in their hands.

Armored Car Drivers

Armored cars are popular target for professional bank thieves, and as such, their drivers are armed. Armored car drivers are generally equipped with a ballistic vest, a uniform, and a handgun, that they must purchase themselves, but do receive a stipend for it. Popular firearms span far and wide, but they most often keep full sized handguns in a tactical holster, with a pump action or automatic shotgun in the truck.

Bartenders and Shopkeepers

Bars are often the starting scenes for rowdy behavior, and as such, the bartender is often armed. They often keepa shotgun, such as a Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 Police under the bar for serious altercations, but many bartenders have begun to opt for a full sized handgun, because of it's maneuverability and size. They also will have melee weapons, such as a bat, to deal with the less rowdy, but still problematic, patrons.

Shopkeepers generally follow the same rules as bartenders, but their weapons are more used for people attempting a quick stickup job. The level of armament of the shop is completely dependent on the shopkeeper's views, as well as what they sell. A Gunstore is guaranteed to have armed shopkeeper, while a fine china store in a wealthy neighborhood may go without firearms, electing to call the authorities instead.

Mercenaries

A mercenary is a person who takes part in an armed conflict, who is not a national or a party to the conflict, and is "motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar ranks and functions in the armed forces of that Party". Most mercenaries in the modern age are employees of private security firms such as Blackwater, Xe Services, Triple Canopy, Armour Group, PBE, and Dyncorp.

Mercenaries are generally armed the same, or more usually, better than their soldier counterparts, equipped with the best body armor, weapons, vehicles, and ammunition, provided by the company they work for. This equipment is generally on loan from the company while they perform their services, though it's not uncommon for a mercenary to carry their own personal sidearm. The type of handgun a mercenary carries is completely Dependant on the personal preference, but .45 ACP, .40 S&W, and .357 Magnum are the most popular calibers.

344

Bodyguards

Bodyguards are equipped just as mercenaries, though because of their dealings in the states, they will bypass fully automatic weapons in lieu of semi-automatic rifles and carbines, as well as concealed handguns.

HuntersThe weapon a hunter carries depends on the personal preference of the hunter, and what they are hunting. For Birds, or small animals, a light birdshot is generally prefered in a shotgun, modified with a choked barrel. Varmint hunters will choose something with a smaller caliber, such as .22 LR or .17 HMR. Hunters of larger game will prefer high powered rifles, or shotguns with slug barrels, loaded with slugs. A hunter may also choose to carry a crossbow, or bow and arrow, for a silent kill.

Security Guards

Security guards are charged with over-watching an area, usually an office building or dock. They are generally not given firearms, rather to observe and report, and call the authorities if anything does happen. They are usually given a flashlight and possibly a can of pepper-spray.

Milita Members

Local Militia members are armed depending on their funding, and location. Militia groups in the United States will normally be armed with self loading rifles such as the Ruger Mini14, and Mini 30 , while well funded militias will have AR-15s and FALs. Because of their semi-organized nature, firearms will rarely be universal across the members, many using what they can afford or even get their hands on.
