Yes sir, the time honoured art of throwing a lot of lead, DU or explosive ammunition at people you don’t like will never die. As long as someone has something you want, or someone doesn't like someone else, the dear old armaments dealers will be rolling in money. Somehow I don’t think this is going to end anytime soon, considering the amount of SLA ops, SHIVER and everyone else in the universe out there. You might want to consider something with a high ammunition capacity, because you’ll never be lacking for targets.

Thresher

Take my word for it, no one knows guns like these guys, everything they make has the finest tolerances you’ll find anywhere, need to swap out a burnt out barrel? Fine just throw another in from stock parts, it’s always a perfect fit and the underground smiths love them for that. Only problem is they’re usually hard to get a hold of, expensive and not very common at the best of times. Of course, their best gear never ends up down here on the streets and you will only ever really find the export stuff which is a pale comparison to their own weapons.

THRESHER EXPORT

TH-EX/LR02 Hunting Rifle

Calibre – 7.45mmR
ROF - 1
Recoil - 5
Magazine - 5 internal box magazine (cannot be removed)
Weight - 3kg
Range - 80 m
Cost –3000u

The bolt action rifle is an antiquated design that is cheap to produce in large numbers, Thresher have saved money and made it more reliable by making the box magazine internal. This allows the weapon to survive in the hands of untrained and badly skilled troops that have no idea of what weapon maintenance is, provided the barrel is unobstructed and the action free to cycle rounds the weapon can survive most abuse thrown at it.
Compared to the SLA CAF equivalents the weapon poses a serious threat to lighter SLA armours and can be fitted with a scope, making it a very dangerous rifle for the urban sniper.
Reloading can be done at 1 round per phase.
Construction of the weapon is from standard steel components and the stock is made from a moulded fibreglass-resin. More expensive versions can be made with real wood fittings and fetch high prices on the black market. They are of premium quality and aesthetically pleasing to own.

TH-EX/RV01 Revolver

Calibre – 8.55mmP
ROF - 1
Recoil - 4
Magazine - 6
Weight - 1.5kg
Range - 15 m
Cost - 2800u

This weapon has become a bane of SHIVER forces in some sectors of Downtown Mort as Thresher sold a lot of units and a huge amount of ammunition to the locals. It also poses a serious threat to some of the heavier armours from the potent high velocity 8.55mm rounds that where manufactured specifically for it. The entire assembly is from chrome plated steel and comes with an intimidating 230mm barrel, reliability for this weapon is exceptional.

TH-EX/SM01 Submachinegun

Calibre – 8.55mmP
ROF - 1/3/5
Recoil - 3/5/8
Magazine - 40 box magazine
Weight - 4.5kg
Range - 15 m
Cost - 8000u

Whole lot of gun, kind of expensive too but the sheer rate of fire on this weapon makes it a force to be reckoned with and the recoil on full auto tends to be somewhat savage. The build quality on it means it will never jam, simple spring operated recoil mechanism cycles rounds as quick as you can pull the trigger. A perennial favourite amongst the more tooled up Props for its ability to liquidate opponents like an entire SHIVER squad in seconds and give most ops pause for thought.

TH-EX/BR837 Battle Rifle

Calibre – 7.45mmR
ROF - 2/5
Recoil - 4/8
Magazine - 30 box magazine
Weight - 5kg
Range - 30 m
Cost - 12000u

This weapon might never win anything in a New Paris fashion awards for looks but the massive steel framed weapon with its oversize gas-blowback mechanism over the barrel gives it enormous reliability. Its weight keeps the recoil down to a minimum where even a child could fire it quite easily on semi-automatic but it can be quite fierce on full auto. If you want a gun you could bury in a Cannibal Sector for 15 years, dig it up and keep firing with no loss of effectiveness, then this is the gun for you.

Darknight

If you can’t find a Darknight 10mm pistol, then you’ll never find anything. The sheer amount of product that comes in and goes out again is staggering, Darknight have the right idea, get product on the street and it’ll worry their competitors. Build quality is much the same as SLA, its good, relatively cheap, does the job and provided you look after it, it’ll probably never give you any problems and be around a lot longer than you will be.

DN12 Semiautomatic Pistol

Calibre – 12mm
ROF - 2
Recoil - 5
Magazine - 10 box magazine
Weight - 1.5kg
Range - 10 m
Cost - 4000u

Popping up more commonly in the hands of trained Darknight assassins, who prefer its compact size and high rate of fire. The 12mm round is devastating against light and moderately unarmoured targets and not surprisingly it often is fitted with a silencer. While it doesn't boast a large magazine capacity in its standard format the ceramic construction keeps its weight down and it is quite concealable.

Fits all standard weapons accessories.

DN800M ‘Candlemas’ Submachinegun

Calibre – 10mm
ROF - 5/10
Recoil - 5/8
Magazine - 50 box magazine
Weight - 4.5kg
Range - 15 m
Cost - 14000u

This big mil-spec monster of a submachinegun is uncommon on the streets but has been known to turn up once in awhile in the hands of off-world operators on tour of Mort. Every now and then DN will manage to smuggle a few of these down for its agents and most are loathe to part with them because it is a truly excellent weapon for street fights and house to house work.

Reliability suffers due to its extreme ROF means it will jam occasionally (Double 1 on Auto support rolls) and require maintenance to clear the blocked round (11 on Wep Maint roll- takes 1 phase). Most owners are willing to ignore this problem for the fact that once it’s rolling, targets dropping.

Fits all standard weapon accessories, including a 40mm under barrel grenade launcher (not fitted as standard).

DN13MR1 ‘R1’ Assault Rifle

Calibre – 13mm
ROF - 1/3
Recoil - 7/12
Magazine - 40 box magazine
Weight - 4.5kg
Range - 35 m
Cost - 45000u

Very rare, very expensive, very dangerous.

This is the standard issue Reaver Marine assault rifle which has won infamy on war worlds, boarding actions and assaults for hundreds of years. Long years of service in some of the most hostile actions and conditions have refined this weapon to be both reliable and elegantly simple. Leading many to think that it may have had the design contract bought off Thresher or stolen from FEN labs, whatever its history is now somewhat irrelevant. Capable of punching through the heavier SLA armours and completely destroying lighter ones with the 13mm ammunition, it does have heavy recoil as it was designed to be used by power armoured troops.

In a pinch, this weapon uses the same case size as SLA 12.7mm ammunition and can cycle it through the magazine and mechanism with slight penalty to hit. (-1 to hit)

Fits all standard weapon accessories, including a 40mm under barrel grenade launcher (not fitted as standard).

DN10G ‘Riot 10’ Shotgun

Calibre – 10g
ROF - 2
Recoil - 7
Magazine - 10 shot Helical feed detachable magazine
Weight - 4kg
Range - 10 m
Cost - 4500u

Full sized, gas blowback operated shotgun, favoured by the DN Polit riot police for crowd control but it also finds its way into the hands of more or less anyone else looking for a decent, semi auto shotgun.

Fits all standard weapon accessories, drum magazines, except silencers and under-barrel accessories.

DN120-08 ‘Hollander’ Sniper Rifle
Calibre – 12mm
ROF - 1
Recoil - 7
Magazine - 10 box magazine
Weight - 5.5kg
Range - 300 m
Cost - 15000u

The Hollander is made for the assassin on the go, it disassembles into a small, innocuous briefcase for travel and can be assembled on the spot within sixty seconds by most trained operators. While the 12mm round might not be the best sniper round in the universe, it does pack a considerable punch at close range. It is a simple bolt action rifle with very few moving parts, those of which are coated with Teflon for silent and smooth action.

Comes with a cleaning kit, 1000m IR/UV scope and tools for assembly.

Fits all standard accessories.

13mm Regular
Dam: 12 Pen: 9 AD: 2 Cost: 100u for 1 round

TekTrex

Like DarkNight, also manage to put out a fair amount of product and tend to have uniform build quality and you just thought they made dinky little robots didn’t you? Some of the more ‘exotic’ stuff is a bit beyond the average ganger or soldier to use easily.

TT-5 ‘Quad-train’ Submachinegun

Calibre – CAF (Pistol)
ROF - 10
Recoil - 7
Magazine - 250 drum magazine
Weight - 4.5kg
Range - 10 m
Cost - 15,000u

The TT5 has been around for some years now, mostly fitted to the VITO and Scarab drones as part of their standard armament but some models exist for people to use as well. While it does only fire CAF ammunition, it does so at a rate which is truly frightening through those five little barrels and the noise is reminiscent of someone tearing apart a huge sheet of cardboard. In the hands of a skilled operator this weapon is to be feared for its ability to rip through lightly armoured targets with ease.

TT-25 ‘Scream Feeder’ Machinegun

Calibre – CAF (Rifle)
ROF - 15
Recoil - 15
Magazine - 500 drum magazine
Weight - 9.5kg
Range - 25 m
Cost - 55,000u

More often fitted to automated point defence systems and some of the larger, uglier robots TT manufacture, this monster of a weapon has ten barrels spun up to speed with an onboard, rechargeable 4000hr power supply and spits out a hideous amount of lead from them. Not at all a common weapon but it has been known to turn up once in a while on the streets and popular amongst some of the more well equipped gangs for drive-by shootings.

Its not the greatest being backed up by CAF rounds but they are cheap and will turn some lighter SLA armours into powder in a matter of seconds and highly intimidating when wound up to full speed.

TT-Zip Pistol

Calibre – 10mm
ROF - 1
Recoil - 3
Magazine - 5 box magazine
Weight - 0.5kg
Range - 5 m
Cost - 1000u

A nasty holdout pistol made of pressed steel and about its only redeeming features does its compact size and price, which makes it popular with prostitutes and anyone else who might need a concealed weapon about their person.

TT Tech-10 Submachinegun

Calibre – 10mm
ROF - 3/5
Recoil - 3/5
Magazine - 20 box magazine
Weight - 1.5kg
Range - 10 m Cost - 4000u

Probably more aptly, a machine-pistol, TT have priced it quite competitively for the markets, its compact frame, light recoil and good rate of fire will keep it in the hands of gang members, props and most anyone else wanting a decent firearm of this type for some time to come.
The Tech-10 often refitted into the TT drones to replace the CAF SMG and a 100round bin magazine is available for them that will also mate-up to the man portable version.

TT Tech 12 Submachinegun

Calibre – 12mm
ROF - 1/3
Recoil - 5/7
Magazine - 30 box magazine
Weight - 2kg
Range - 10 m
Cost - 5000u

Considerable ‘thump’ for the price, backing up a 12mm round in a compact steel frame, simple, reliable spring loading mechanism this weapon is starting to make itself felt on the streets, particularly against SHIVER and operatives who are beginning to dread its presence. While it doesn't manage the high rate of fire like the Tech-10, the 12mm round makes it a good armour killer for those that can handle the recoil.

TT Tech AR Assault Rifle

Calibre – 12mm
ROF - 2/3
Recoil - 4/6
Magazine - 30 box magazine
Weight - 4kg
Range - 25 m
Cost - 9000u

While production of the Tech AR hasn’t reached the point where the streets are littered with them, it is posing to be a serious challenger to the FEN AR, Darknight assault rifles and other weapons normally in 10mm. It comes with 3pts of inbuilt recoil suppression and a 1000m scope making it a bargain. Reliability for this weapon is also excellent.
