US Special Purpose Firearms

Advantage Arms 422

Notes: This is a "pepperbox"-type derringer within four barrels and a (largely superfluous) sighting rib. The barrels may be fired in sequence, or they may all be fired simultaneously (though the recoil may be brutal; add all single-barrel recoil figures together).

American Derringer 1

Notes: This double-barreled derringer is based on the a Remington design of 1865. It is chambered for a plethora of rounds and are all tiny (about 120 millimeters long) and very light. There are a variety of deluxe models, differing only cosmetically. The barrel firing sequence is automatic, with the upper barrel firing first and the bottom barrel firing second; both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously. Like all American Derringers, they have a manual hammer-blocking safety. The safety automatically disengages when the hammer is cocked. A version of the Model 1 is available with custom engraving; for game purposes, however, it is identical to the standard Model 1.

The American Derringer 7 Ultra-Lightweight is basically a Model 1 made from light alloy, rendering it very light in weight. In appearance, it resembles a Model 1 derringer, but the frame is of aircraft-quality aluminum alloy, the barrels are of the same alloy with steel liners, and the rest of the metalwork of stainless steel. Some of the more powerful chamberings of the Model 1 are not available, but you probably wouldn’t want them anyway in such a light weapon! Finish is in matte gray, with matte-finished grips of rosewood or bacote.

The Model 10 Lightweight is a stronger version of the Model 7; the frame is still alloy, but almost all the rest of the metalwork is stainless steel, finished in matte gray. Despite this, the Model 10 is relatively lighter than the Model 7. The mix of chamberings is also different, and rosewood grips are standard (though bacote is also available). The finish of the Model 7 and Model 10 is available only in Gray Matte, and grips only in black rubber.

American Derringer 2 Pen-Pistol

Notes: At the name indicates, this weapon was designed to look like an ordinary pen (superficially); it was basically a simple tapered cylinder containing a single cartridge and a firing mechanism. To fire the weapon, the “cap” is pulled off and the back of the device rotated through 80 degrees to form a “grip.” This weapon is considered illegal in most US states, which was probably the reason it was not manufactured much beyond its 1993 introduction date.

American Derringer 3

Notes: This is a simple tip-up derringer, based loosely on several “Old West” models. It is made of stainless steel and quite tiny at a mere 5 inches in length with only a 2.5-inch barrel. The recoil is very brutal due to the weapon’s low weight, short barrel, and comparatively powerful ammunition. Production of the Model 3 has been, according to American Derringer, “temporarily halted.”

American Derringer 4

Notes: The Model 4 is quite similar in appearance to a large Model 3 with over-and-under barrels instead of a single barrel. Like the Model 3, it is built largely of stainless steel, and has 4.1-inch barrels. Grips are of rosewood. Normally, both barrels of the Model 4 are the same caliber, but a version called the Model 4 Alaskan Survival Model has an upper barrel chambered for .45-70 and the bottom barrel chambered for .45 Long Colt or .410 Gauge 3”; alternately, both barrels may be chambered for either .44 Magnum or .45-70. The Alaskan Survival Model also has oversized rosewood grips, and can be had with an extra-high polish finish. In any case, the two barrels cannot be fired simultaneously, as the hammer must be cocked between each shot (though it may be done quickly). . The barrel firing sequence is automatic, with the upper barrel firing first and the bottom barrel firing second; both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously. The Model 4 is available in a version with custom engraving; however, for game purposes, it is identical to the standard Model 4.

American Derringer 6

Notes: This is a long-barreled double-barreled derringer (6-inch barrels), with the barrels enclosed in a flush-sided block and with oversize grips made from rosewood, walnut, or rubber. It sort of blurs the line between derringers and simple breech-loading pistols. The normal chambering is .410 Gauge/.45 Long Colt, but .357 Magnum and .45 ACP and .22 Magnum versions were also made. The barrel firing sequence is automatic, with the upper barrel firing first and the bottom barrel firing second; both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously. Finish is high-polish stainless or satin.

American Derringer 8 Target

Notes: Further blurring the line between derringer and full-sized breech-loading pistol, the American Derringer 8 Target has 8-inch double barrels. The trigger is single-action and the weapon has a manual hammer-block safety that disengages automatically when the hammer is pulled back. Construction is largely of stainless steel, with rosewood or soft rubber grips. The types of rounds used may be mixed or matched between the two barrels, but both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously; like most such American Derringer firearms, the weapon must be cocked between each shot. The barrel firing sequence is automatic, with the upper barrel firing first and the bottom barrel firing second; both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously.

American Derringer COP

Notes: This four-barreled "pepperbox'' firearm was intended as a backup weapon for police officers who forced to give up their main sidearm, or for use by undercover police. It is literally so small that it could conceivably be concealed virtually anywhere on the body, with a length of little over 5.5 inches (for the standard COP; the Mini-COP is even smaller) and a cluster of four 3.14-inch barrels. A “slide” pulls back to allow the barrels to be reloaded. Construction is primarily of stainless steel, with rosewood or checkered black rubber grips. The standard COP is designed for .357 Magnum and .38 Special, while the Mini-COP is chambered for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire. It should be noted that the striker mechanism is designed so that all four barrels cannot be fired at once; the fire in sequence with each pull of the trigger (upper left, upper right, lower right, lower left). As with many American Derringer firearms, production of the COP and Mini-COP is described by the company as “temporarily halted.”

American Derringer DA-38

Notes: The DA-38 is a slab-sided double-action derringer, with no forward trigger guard though it has one on the bottom. The barrel is 3 inches, and they are blended into the receiver and also have slab sides. Construction is of steel. The DA-38 has a simple V-notch rear sight, though no front sight; due to the short effective range, the sight is largely superfluous. Grips are of rosewood, walnut, black walnut, or rubber. Like all American Derringer designs, it has a manual hammer block safety, but it has no hammer to cock the weapon; the safety is removed by that first double-action trigger pull. The upper barrel fires first and the lower barrel second; both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously. The DS-22 is largely the same, but has only a single barrel and is chambered for only rimfire cartridges.

American Derringer High Standard

Notes: The High Standard double-barreled derringer is intended to serve as a readily concealable defensive weapon; and is both light in weight and small in caliber. The barrels are 3.5 inches and the overall length is slightly over 5 inches total. The finish is generally blued and the oversized grips are of black hard rubber. The barrels must be fired in sequence; they cannot be fired simultaneously, since the weapon must be cocked between each shot. American Derringer describes the production of the High Standard as “temporarily halted.”

The DA-38 is a modified and improved version of the High Standard, with 3-inch barrels, a length of less than 5 inches, and a double-action trigger. It is also designed for larger calibers than the High Standard. Most of the DA-38 is made from stainless steel, but the grip frame is made from aluminum with oversized hard black rubber grips or rosewood grips over that.

American Derringer Semmerling LM-4

This highly unusual pistol was first produced about 1994 (by the now-defunct Semmerling Corporation, hence the name “Semmerling” in the designation), and has been built by various companies in rapid succession since then, eventually ending up under American Derringer’s umbrella. It was designed to be a powerful and easily concealable pistol for use by police as a backup or police who work undercover. Currently, American Derringer lists the LM-4 as being in “extremely limited production;” it is virtually handmade, and American Derringer reportedly builds only two per week at a maximum. For that matter, production of the LM-4 by any company has never been great, and they are still very rare weapons.

The most unusual feature of the LM-4 is its action. Despite its appearance, it is not a semiautomatic pistol – the slide must be racked to cock the weapon between each shot. In addition, the slide is worked opposite from a standard slide – one racks it forward and then back to ready the LM-4 for another shot. (In game terms, this gives the LM-4 a “BA” ROF – though “BA” is not an accurate description of the LM-4’s action.) The LM-4 is built of special, lightweight-yet-strong tool-grade steel, usually finished blued, matte steel, or hard chromed. (A stainless steel version is also available; this version is identical for game purposes.) The LM-4 is a mere 5.2 inches long and 3.7 inches high, yet the barrel is 3.45 inches long. Grip plates can be of hard checkered rubber, checkered plastic, smooth wood, or checkered wood; the grip plates may also be thick or thin, in order to fill the hand better or allow even easier concealment. The LM-4 has high visibility (though very low-profile) sights consisting of a simple notch rear sight and ramp front sight.

For a short time, Semmerling produced a 9mm Parabellum version of the LM-4, but it did not sell very well and it was quickly dropped. Ever since, any company producing the LM-4 has chambered it for .45 ACP.

Bond Arms Ranger

Notes: Like most derringers designed in the modern era, the Ranger is designed to be not only a concealable, last-ditch personal defense weapon, it is also meant to be useful as a home defense weapon, and as a general, quick pest-control weapon. The Ranger is larger than most derringers, having a pair of 4.25-inch barrels, though it is still a quite small weapon; it is, however, heavy for a derringer. It is designed for modern ammunition, and like almost all derringers, mounts its barrels in an over-and-under configuration. The Ranger is constructed largely of stainless steel (with a satin finish), with black ash grips. The grip is slightly extended, allowing for a better hold than most derringers. The barrels have automatic extractors on them; when the Ranger is broken open, the shells are pushed out enough for them to be easily grasped and removed. Once unlocked, the opening mechanism is spring-loaded to make opening the Ranger quicker, and the locking lever is cammed to make the fit of the weapon tighter when the Ranger is closed. The Ranger has a crossbolt manual safety. The Ranger has a rudimentary notch rear sight and a blade front sight. The trigger mechanism fires the top barrel first, then the bottom barrel.

The Century 2000, also known as the C2K, is similar to the Ranger below except for having only 3.5-inch barrels. The Century 2000 has the same features as the Ranger, but the butt is smaller, and it chambered for 3” .410 shotgun shells. The Snake Slayer is essentially the same as the Century 2000 except for the Ranger-style longer grip, and a slight difference in weight as a result.

The Ranger II is similar to the Ranger, but has an actual trigger guard and more pistol-type trigger than the Ranger. The grip is also longer on a Ranger II than a Ranger. The Ranger II has a shell extractor, making it easier to pull the spent shells out of the breech. It, like the Century 2000 and Snake Slayer, is chambered for 3” Magnum shotshells.

Bond Arms Texas Defender

Notes: These derringers come with the same features as the Ranger, but come in a plethora of chamberings, all of which have interchangeable barrel clusters. They have 3” barrels and laminated black ash or Rosewood grips, which are short as on the Century 2000. The Cowboy Defender is essentially the same except for being slightly lighter and finished in matte stainless steel instead of bright stainless steel. The Cowboy Century Defender (CCK) is essentially the same as the Texas Defender, but comes only in .22 Long Rifle, .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, and .44 Special.

Cobra Derringer

Notes: Though not really a reproduction per se, the Cobra Derringer is sort of an emulation of the various Remington derringers used in the American West from the 1860s to about 1900, chambered for modern ammunition instead of the original ammunition used by those Remington derringers. Like those Remington derringers, the Cobra Derringer is a double-barreled over-and under mousegun. It is single-action operation weapon, requiring the hammer to be cocked before firing each barrel (both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously). The barrels hinge forward for reloading, with a lever on the left side between the barrels being used to partially eject the spent shells (just enough to remove them). One does the reverse to make the Cobra ready for firing. Unlike those “Old West” derringers, the Cobra also has a push-button safety in front of the hammer. Barrels are either 2.7 or 3.5 inches, with several chamberings available. Grips are of laminated rosewood or black synthetic. Like most such weapons, the Cobra is very light in weight, and therefore recoil can be extreme; it is, however, heavier than most such weapons, being constructed largely of heavy steel (black, chromed, or nickel-plated).

Davis Derringer D-25

Notes: This is another derringer in the ''Old West" pattern, known best for low cost and wrist-breaking recoil. It is a simple steel derringer with wood or simulated pearl grips, wood grips, or rubber grips and normally a nickel-plated finish, though blued finishes are available. Barrel length is 2.4 inches. The .380 ACP version is often referred to as the “Big Bore” David Derringer; it is, in a relative sense, the big bore member of the family.

Deer Gun

Notes: It is not known who christened this mini-pistol the “Deer Gun,” or why they did, but it is a weapon along the same lines as the World War 2 Liberator M-1942. Like the Liberator, the Deer Gun is basically one step more advanced than a zip gun – it is a simple aluminum casting to fire a single bullet in order to capture a more valuable enemy weapon for further use. The Deer Gun was to be used by South Vietnamese guerillas against Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops; however, by 1964, it was obvious that US involvement in the war would be no small thing and the need for the Deer Gun disappeared.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Deer Gun reappeared during the Twilight War, used to arm potential insurgents in out of the way areas such as Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

Downsizer Mini-Pistol

Notes: This tiny weapon is just less than 83mm in length, yet has a barrel of nearly 54mm and fires some pretty powerful cartridges for such a small weapon. It is basically a modern version of a single-shot derringer, and is loaded from a tip-up barrel. The trigger is double-action only.

Freedom Arms Model 2008

Notes: Known for its Model 83 and 97 revolvers, the Model 2008 (also known as the Model 08) is a departure from their standard fare in being a single-shot break-open precision handgun. The Model 2008 derives its grip and basic frame from the Model 83, and it can employ switch barrels to change the caliber to any desired (and built by Freedom Arms. The barrels are 10, 15 or 16 inches, and the barrel is a tapered heavy barrel with a target crown. Most of the pistol is made from stainless steel with a matte finish, and the fore-end and grip plates are of high-grade walnut. Atop the receiver is a MIL-STD-1913 rail that extends from the rear of the receiver to just behind the barrel. The trigger is a target trigger with adjustable pull weight and pull length. The hammer is a rebounding hammer, common on this type of handgun. Most of its chamberings are rifle cartridges, another common feature on this type of handgun.

High Standard Olympic

Notes: This is one of a wide range of small-caliber match pistols that High Standard has produced over the years; this one started production in 1950. It was designed for the Olympic rapid-fire shooting event. There have been several models of the Olympic available over the years; the first model had a barrel of 4.5 inches or 6.75 inches, and the barrels were interchangeable. This version had a slide made of light alloy, and has an adjustable rear sight. The second model was introduced in 1951 and built until 1958, and was virtually the same except for a different adjustable rear sight (and identical for game purposes). The third model was made only with a 6.75-inch barrel, but it is a bull barrel for increased accuracy; it was built from 1963-1966. The Olympic had long been out of production by High Standard, but production of the Olympic resumed in 1995.

The Olympic ISU is designed, of course, for ISU competition, and differs somewhat from the standard Olympic. Three versions were built, one manufactured between 1958 and 1966, one manufactured after High Standard reconstituted itself in 1995, and the one designed for military competitions. The older version had a tapering barrel of either 6.75 inches of 8 inches, and had moveable barrel weights for balance adjustments which could be entirely removed if desired. The new model has only a 6.75” barrel, but it has an integrated compensator. The military model has 5.5” barrel, but it is a bull barrel. All have micrometer rear sights.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The post-1995 models never made it into production.

Heizer DoubleTap

Notes: The DoubleTap is a modern take on the derringer concept. (It should be noted that Heizer asserts that it is not a derringer; it is a DoubleTap.) It can be had with a frame of aluminum alloy or titanium alloy, and 9mm or .45. The DoubleTap is definitely a handful, due to its light weight. The fire mechanism fires the top barrel first, then the bottom barrel; both barrels cannot be fired simultaneously. However, the trigger mechanism is innovative – though it is striker-fired, it took a lot of work to put a fully-reliable .45 ACP trigger mechanism in such a small package (it’s smaller than most peoples’ hands). The DoubleTap is a break-open design. The barrel is astounding for such a small pistol – 3 full inches long, with each barrel ported. Design and construction are also innovative; it was designed by computer and most parts are cut and machined using CNC. Heizer Defense is a partner of Heizer Aerospace, who makes parts for the Boeing 777, amongst other aircraft. The DoubleTap is growing in popularity as a police backup gun for undercover police, and is also gaining popularity as a personal defense weapon.

Heizer PS1

Notes: “PS1” stands for “Pocket Shotgun; Heizer advertises this single-shot pistol as the “world’s smallest shotgun.” It is a small, flat design, smaller than a smartphone, less than 12 centimeters long, 10 centimeters high, and 2 centimeters wide. The barrel is a mere 3.25 inches long, and it fire both .410 Gauge and .45 ammunition. The gun is single-shot and not autoloading, but the handle carries two additional rounds of .45 ammunition. The barrel breaks open, and has an automatic case ejector. Operating latches are ambidextrous and easy to actuate. The trigger is on roller bearings and requires no lubing (though I’ve seen many a gun that says that…) The finish is black or silver, with a blackened or silver receiver and barrel. The frame and barrel are stainless steel.

The Hedy Jane is a version of the PS1 designed for use by women, though it is also attractive for men. The PS1 has a trigger pull weight of 12-14 pounds; this has been reduced to 8-10 pounds in the Hedy Jane. The barrel shroud comes in Zombie Green, Zombie Green with a black frame, pink, turquoise, and purple, instead of the normal barrel shroud finish; the rest of the gun is silver.

The PAK1 is advertised by Heizer as the “pocket AK” due to the ammunition it fires. Like the PS1, it comes in black, or black with a silver frame, and has a compartment in the grip for two extra rounds. The barrel is 3.75 inches long and ported to tame what would otherwise be wrist-breaking recoil. The PAR1 is, similar to the PAK1, called by Heizer the “Pocket AR,” as it fires 5.56mm ammunition. It is otherwise like the PAK1.

IAR Maverick

Notes: This is a modern replica of the Remington Model 1866 derringer. It is a very good copy, and looks pretty much like the original, with polished steel metal parts and oil-finished walnut grip plates. However, to meet modern regulations, the IAR Maverick has a crossbolt safety; it also fires modern smokeless ammunition instead of blackpowder rounds. The sights are extremely rudimentary and virtually useless. Both barrels fire at once.

Liberator M-1942

Notes: This is little more than zip gun produced to manufacturing standards. The Liberator, or OSS, was made to be dropped by the tens of thousands to resistance and civilian personnel in areas where the Allies wanted to foment resistance movements. The pistol was designed to be as simple and cheap as possible. The Liberator is little more than a breech block and barrel attached to a pistol grip and rudimentary trigger. The rear part of the receiver is pulled back, a round manually loaded into the breech, and the round is fired through the stubby barrel. The grip is hollow, with five more rounds carried inside. The idea behind the Liberator was not to function as a primary weapon, or even be used for an extended period of time – one takes the Liberator, kills an enemy soldier with it, and then takes the enemy weapon as his own.

Mark Three Black Mamba Shooting System

Notes: This fist-sized handgun looks very much like a suitcase handle. The user’s fingers are protected within the gun’s frame and the barrel is positioned between the second and third fingers, with trigger bar underneath the fingers. To fire the weapon, simply squeeze the fist. It was designed as a concealed short-range weapon for clandestine work.

NAA Bug Out Box

Notes: This is not so much a weapon as a kit in a hard polymer box containing a weapon, a box of rounds, and several small survival items. It is also known simply as the BOB. At its heart is essentially a Mini-Derringer (below), but with a two-inch barrel. It is a simple revolver/derringer, with a raised hog-trough rear sight (which is milled as part of the top strap) and an XS front ramp sight which has a tritium dot at the rear of the sight and is dovetailed in, allowing adjustments for drift or to allow the user to replace the front sight with one more to his liking. An orange rubber grip is sold with the box, though black grips are a common aftermarket addition. The box is of clear polymer, and is lockable with a small key. There is room for a single box of 50 .22 Long Rifle rounds, along with five Band-Aids, a tube of antibiotic gel, five antibacterial wipes, three packages of two minor pain reliever tablets or capsules (Advil, Tylenol, etc), three packages of 2 tablets of antidiarrheal medication (such as the ever-popular Imodium), a small plastic lighter, 100 meters of fishing line and five hooks, a small penknife, and up to 0.2 kg of assorted items that the player may choose to carry in the box (these are not included in the price. The Weight and Price figures are for the Whole box (including the maximum amount of whatever the player may want to throw in), while the firing figures are only for the revolver.

The BOB is a collaboration between NAA and TALO Distributors. These boxes are limited numbers only, capped at 1500.

NAA Mini-Derringer

Notes: These are small, easily concealable weapons produced in a variety of calibers and two barrel lengths each, except for the .22 Short version. They are cheap weapons that were very popular in the US and Canadian civilian markets, and some were sold in Latin America.

New for 2005 is a pair of .17 rimfire Mini-Derringers. These fire the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire and .17 Mach 2 cartridges. The cylinders are not interchangeable with the .22 caliber versions, and not normally interchangeable with each other, though a version exists which can interchange the cylinders between the two .17 caliber versions.

Remington Model 95

Notes: One of Remington’s most prolific handguns, the Model 95 was in production for over 69 years, with over 150,000 built during that time. During that time, it sold primarily to gamblers, ladies of ill-repute, outlaws, scalawags, and other of those of ill-repute. Perhaps no other gun was more associated with the Old West. It was one of the first cartridge handguns produced. The design was simple, with two 3-inch superposed barrels that tipped up in half for reloading. The grips were wood and in a bird’s head pattern. The Model 95 had a pivoting firing pin; when one barrel was fired, the firing pin pivoted to the remaining barrel (which ever that was). The first 2000 were built without an extractor, but the remaining have a sliding lever to extract the shells. The Model 95 had an exposed spur trigger, making easy to thumb-cock.

Remington XP-100/XP-100R

Notes: This is a bolt-action pistol designed to fire rifle-sized cartridges. It is a favorite with wildcatters and ammo tinkers. It is drilled and tapped for a scope mount, and typically has no iron sights. Snipers and assassins also value the weapon. The XP-100R is identical, except that the weapon has a 4-round internal magazine and is made largely of Kevlar.

Ruger Charger

Notes: Built on the proven Ruger 10/22 action, the Charger is essentially a 10/22 turned into a hunting and target pistol. The Charger has a pistol grip, receiver housing, and fore-end of one-piece laminated hardwood that may be dark wood, purple, red, blue, or red/white/blue. The 10-inch tapered barrel “semi-floats” in the fore-end, being supported for the first two inches. The weight of the Charger and the mild caliber mean that the Charger has virtually no felt recoil (if not for Twilight 2000 game rules, it should have a recoil figure of 0). The Charger takes only removable rotary magazines, but can use any rotary magazine that the Ruger 10/22 can use. Controls are largely the same as those of the Ruger 10/22, with the exception of the magazine release, which is a lever behind the magazine well. As the front “sling” attachment (which can actually be used for a sling) was included primarily to provide an attachment point for a bipod (for use as a benchrest competition pistol), there is no rear sling stud. The bipod included is adjustable for height and cant. Atop the receiver is a Weaver rail for optics.

Savage Striker

Notes: Practically a stockless carbine, the Striker is a bolt-action hunting pistol with several rather unusual features for its type of weapon, and also fires some pretty powerful cartridges. All in all, it’s one pretty powerful pistol.

The Striker has metalwork made from steel, with black composite furniture. The barrel is long, free-floating, and usually tipped with a removable muzzle brake; firing without the muzzle brake is definitely not recommended by most shooters. Though based on the action of the Savage 110 series of rifles, it is still a bit strange; the bolt handle is on the left, while case ejection is to the right. The stock is ergonomically-shaped, and actually has sling swivels! There are no iron sights, but the Striker is drilled and tapped for up to three sight mounts. The fore-end is even equipped with a light bipod, adjustable for height and cant.

A number of variants of the Striker are available. Most differ in finish, but there are a number which have several differences of note. The Model 501F Sport Striker is fed by a box magazine and uses a 10-inch barrel with no muzzle brake. The Model 502F Sport Striker is virtually identical, but chambered for the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge, and the magazine capacity is only 5 rounds. The Model 503F Sport Striker is again virtually identical, but chambered for .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire cartridge, and has a magazine capacity of 5 rounds. The Model 516FSAK has a stock finished in Realtree Hardwood Camo, and is chambered for the .300 Winchester Magnum Cartridge, with a 14-inch barrel and removable brake. The Model 516BSS uses a laminated hardwood thumbhole stock, and is chambered for a number of additional cartridges; it has a 14-inch barrel with a removable muzzle brake.

The standard version is the Model 510. In all versions except the Model 516FSAK and 516BSS, versions exist with metalwork finished blued or in stainless steel. The Model 516FSAK comes only in a matte stainless steel finish to its metalwork, while the Model 516BSS comes only with a stainless steel finish.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Only the Model 510 exists in the Twilight 2000 timeline, and it is rare.

TASER

Notes: Both a Product Name and the name of a series of non-lethal weapons, the TASER brings the technology of the hand-held “stun gun” to a ranged weapon that allows a person to stun an opponent with a high-voltage dose of electricity which, in most cases, will render an opponent unable to control his voluntary muscle system long enough for the shooter to run away or for a law enforcement or military personnel to apprehend the victim without really hurting him (though the period of stunning is in fact painful, as sensory nerve ending are highly agitated). The stunning effects also reduce the victim’s control over some sensory nerve functions, including the ability to focus the eyes, hearing (the victim will hear a rushing noise), and the sense of touch. The TASER works by firing a pair of barbed darts into the target, which lodge in his skin. The two darts create an electrical circuit, which than allows the TASER’s hand unit to send the high-voltage current to the target. The voltage which is generated and the length of stunning depends upon the type of TASER that is used, as well as the target’s own ability to resist the effects and to an extent, the part of the body that is struck by the barbs. For the most part, the TASER causes no lasting harm to the target other than a small, quickly-healing burn and bruise where the barbs hit. (The barbs themselves cause 1d6-5 damage to the area of the body hit; suddenly muscular rigidity results in another 1d6-5 damage to all parts of the body when the target is first hit, rolled separately for each body part. Other possible damage may result from the target hitting a hard object upon falling and must be adjudicated by the GM.) The primary reason that the TASER does almost no permanent harm to the target and has very little chance of endangering a person’s life is due to the fact that though a TASER delivers a large amount of voltage into an individual, almost no amps are delivered into a target (the amps delivered are less than that offered by the typical USB port on a computer). In almost all cases, both barbs must hit the target and stick for the TASER to be effective. Note that though the barbs will penetrate most clothing, body armor and some heavy clothing will stop TASER barbs; the TASER effectively has less than zero penetration. The barbs are fired using a cartridge of compressed nitrogen, which must be replaced after every shot (though some TASERs are multi-shot weapons, with each cartridge havin its own compressed nitrogen cartridge). The darts come in a package containing the barbs, the compressed nitrogen cartridge, and the wires; this comprises a reloadable package that is inserted as a unit, though the compressed nitrogen cartridge may be replaced separately by the user. The battery is replaced separately from the cartridges. At any time, the shooter may elect to eject the cartridge, leaving the cartridge on the ground, at which point he may leave or apprehend his victim; he may also elect to stop applying the voltage before the base voltage period indicated by the device occurs (presumably having mercy on his victim…).

Note that the TASER X12 and its XREP round do not follow all of the preceding rules, due to the nature of the device. The differences will be noted below.

In most cases, the victim must make an Impossible: Constitution roll. Failure of this roll means that he immediately loses two initiative levels and must make another Formidable: Constitution roll. If the second roll is failed, he immediately falls down and becomes immobile (his voluntary muscles become almost rigid) for as long as the electric pulse is kept up plus a certain amount of time depending on the device used by the shooter. Outstanding Success at these stages means that the victim is only partially immobilized and can move at one-quarter speed and all attacks made by him become Impossible skill rolls, regardless of range. Just after being hit, there is a very slight, very short “golden period;” the victim gets one (and only one) chance to dislodge the barbs. The chance that he will dislodge the barbs is an Impossible task roll, and is equal to his Dexterity+Constitution/2. If he dislodges the barbs, he will still receive a possibly incapacitating shock, but his initial roll is Difficult instead of Impossible, he does not lose two initiative levels even if he fails this roll, and the second roll is Average instead of Formidable. If he does fail the second roll, he will be incapacitated only for a number of seconds equal to 20 minus his Constitution score. Outstanding Success at dislodging the barbs means that the victim suffers no ill effects from the barbs.

Most TASERs have a base length of a set of voltage pulses per pull of the trigger depending upon the device. The voltage is applied in sets of pulses equal to this base length. The shooter can than elect to pull the trigger again, causing another set of pulses; the amount of pulse sets which may delivered by a device depends upon the life of the battery (expressed in a number of trigger pulls which can be made). For each pulse set, the victim may make another set of rolls which are same as the initial set of rolls that are made when hit by a TASER. However, the first of these additional rolls are made with a -1 to the Constitution score, and each consecutive roll is made at a further -2. Eventually, the victim turns into non-resisting jelly. Note that the victim is in fact conscious the entire time the stunning is occurring, though probably not thinking clearly!

Note that if the target has the Willpower skill, he may also immediately make a Formidable: Willpower skill roll when he is hit and when any other roll is called for. If successful, all rolls are reduced in difficulty by one level. A Formidable: Willpower roll may also be rolled to resist the effects of the TASERing; if successful, the PC (or NPC) gets a third roll to shake off the effects of the TASER 1d6+6 seconds after he is hit. In all cases at the preceding stages, Outstanding Success at Willpower indicates that the target is unaffected by the TASER for combat purposes. Finally, a Formidable: Willpower roll may be made to determine the total length of stunning (assuming he is not successful in shaking off the effects of the TASER); if made, the length of stunning after the voltage is turned off is reduced by half. Outstanding Success at this stage indicates that the length of stunning is reduced by a factor of 10. Willpower also applies to any additional rolls the victim may have to make, assuming the shooter keeps up the voltage.

TASER packages can be re-packed by anyone making a Formidable: Intelligence or Small Arms (Pistol or Rifle) roll, a Difficult: Electronics roll, or an Average: Gunsmith roll.

TASER C2

The base member of the TASER line is the C2. This is designed primarily for use by civilians, and bears some resemblance in shape to a Star Trek: TNG phaser, though the end of the C2 is rather wider and more bulbous. The C2 fires its barbs to a maximum range of 4.5 meters; the range in the stats below reflects its short range, with the remaining range being considered medium range and shots beyond this range being impossible due to the length of the wires connected to the barbs. (In essence, any shot attempted beyond 4.5 meters will automatically miss, regardless of the “to hit” roll of the shooter.) The C2 delivers a shock of 15,000 volts. The C2 is designed primarily for civilian use and is legal in most jurisdictions for civilians to carry, though some law enforcement agencies also use the C2, as it is light and compact. The C2 is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery pack (which is in fact a linked package of two 3-volt photo cells), which generates the electric pulse set for 30 seconds. The battery is good for 50 pushes of the trigger. The lower portion of the C2 and the cartridge unit is black, while the upper portion comes in a variety of colors, including black, silver, purple, pink, yellow, blue, and red. Yellow is the color most often used by law enforcement, as it is a universal color in most jurisdictions indicating that the weapon is a TASER or other electrical non-lethal device.

The electric pulse sets from a C2 last for 30 seconds per push of the trigger; with stunning lasting for a base period of 1d10+10 seconds, plus the length that the voltage is continued by the shooter (or the battery runs out). Construction of the C2 is largely of high-strength polymer, with electrical and some other internal components being of various metals. Note that most C2s (except those used by law enforcement) must be activated by the TASER company before they will work; TASER will run a background check, after which they will give you an activation code that is entered into the device. Unfortunately, this does not preclude the use of a C2 that has been stolen or is otherwise being nefariously used.

TASER X26 and M26

The X26 comes in four versions: the X26 and Advanced M26, designed for law enforcement, and the X26^Cand M26^C, designed for civilian use. These TASERS resemble handguns in general form, and are employed in broadly-similar manner, though it is immediately obvious that they are not firearms. The X26 delivers a shock of 50,000 volts, a dose that is immediately disabling to most targets; all resistance rolls are at a one-level disadvantage (with Impossible rolls becoming Very Impossible, or done at 1/8 normal chances). The pulse cycle of the X26 is very short, being only 5 seconds, so the charge is much more disabling than a C2. Stunning duration is a base duration of 1d10+30 seconds plus the length of time that the voltage is continued by the shooter. The shooter does not have to keep pulling the trigger to continue the pulse cycles; they continue automatically as long as the batteries last (about 4.2 minutes) unless the shooter pulls the trigger again, which stops the pulse cycle. The target may still make rolls to resist the shock every 30 seconds, but they are done at a -1 deficit in addition to any other penalties. (The target does not get to make a resistance roll with each 5-second pulse set.)

The X26 is designed for duty carry, being lighter and smaller than other versions of the X26. The X26 features an LCD information panel atop the weapon which indicates the time that the electrical shock has been applied, the battery level, and warranty information. The X26 includes an integrated laser pointer, as well as low-intensity lights for night use, as well as luminous sight inlays and high-contrast day sights. As the X26 is a very short-range weapon, the laser pointer likewise fires a short-range, though bright, laser beam. The X26 uses barbs with much longer wires than civilian versions; they are 10.6 meters in length. The X26 may also use the civilian-legal TASER Dart Cartridge, which gives it the same range as the X26^C (4.5 meters), though when used with the law enforcement-grade X26, the dart cartridge will produce the same effects as an LE dart cartridge. The cartridges are readily replaceable, allowing the user to quickly reload the X26 by simply snapping a new cartridge in place. The battery can also be readily replaced by simply snapping a new battery pack into place; replacing the battery pack can also be used as a route for software updates. (The battery pack contains what are essentially a set of two rechargeable lithium AA batteries in addition to a hardware and software package, and the batteries can be replaced individually as necessary.) The batteries of the X26 will last for 25 trigger pulls. (Each additional 10 seconds the pulse cycle is maintained uses the equivalent of trigger pull of battery power.) To facilitate verification of proper use, the X26 has a small computer recording unit accessible via a USB port which automatically records the time and duration of each use. This device can also be updated in software to allow for changes in technology.

Despite the name, the Advanced TASER M26 is not as advanced as the X26 (though at the time of its introduction in 1999, it was in fact an advanced TASER design, hence the name). The M26 is the predecessor of the X26, a sort of “yesterday’s model,” though it is still in wide use. The M26 is larger and heavier than the X26, primarily due to the large battery pack required, though the internal electronics are also not as compact in general. The battery pack uses a set of eight AA alkaline batteries which may be replaced separately or together as necessary; the M26 is not as efficient at using battery power as the X26 is, and therefore more batteries are required. The stun duration is a base of 1d10+25 seconds. The form of the M26 is virtually identical to the X26, except for being a physically larger weapon; the grip with its large battery pack is notably more bulky. The M26 does not have the LCD information panel of the X26, though it does have an LED low-battery power indicator. The M26 is equipped with a laser pointer and luminous sight inlays.

The X26^C and M26^Care the civilian counterparts to the X26 and M26 shown above. Though they have the same basic form and operation as their law enforcement counterparts, both have an additional method of operation that is notably different from law enforcement models. Their pulse cycles begin very quick, but the pulse cycles are variable. One trigger pull will shoot the barbs and create an initial powerful 5-second pulse cycle that causes the target to take a -2 penalty on his resistance rolls; this is designed to allow a civilian to quickly disable an assailant, eject the dart cartridge, and get away quickly. A second trigger pull while the barbs are lodged in the target will increase this to a 10-second pulse cycle which has somewhat less voltage (roll as stated above the X26^C, but with no bonus or penalty); two more trigger pulls set up a 30-second pulse cycle that may be continued for as long as the batteries last (about 4.2 minutes) without any further input from the shooter – the shooter could, for example, put the X26^C down and walk away or attend to another matter, and the 30-second pulse cycle will continue. To use the X26^C in this manner, however, the trigger must be pulled a total of four times, with the last two trigger pulls being in quick succession; if the third trigger pull is not immediately followed by a fourth trigger pull, the X26^C will not continue to deliver its pulse cycle unattended (though it will use a 30-second pulse cycle). The 30-second pulse cycle requires the same resistance rolls as stated above for the X26, except that resistance rolls are made one difficulty level easier (essentially, equivalent to that of a C2). The X26^C is equipped with the integrated laser pointer, low-intensity light, luminous sight inlays, and high-contrast day sights of the X26; however, the information about use of the weapon is not recorded, though the X26^C does still have the USB port to allow for software updates. The LCD panel with information about shock time, battery life, and warranty information are present on the X26^C. As with the C2, the X26^C requires an activation code provided by TASER before use.

The Advanced TASER M26^C is the civilian counterpart to the Advanced TASER M26. In most cases, it conforms in performance to the X26^C (with the differences noted in the M26 entry), though as with the M26, it is a physically larger and bulkier weapon with less bells and whistles than the X26^C. The M26^C has the M26’s LED battery indicator, the laser pointer, and luminous sight inlays. As with the X26^C, the M26^C requires an activation code provided by TASER be inputted before the weapon can be used.

For the law-enforcement X26 and M26, two intermediate-range cartridges exist. The standard civilian-legal cartridge has a door which is yellow in color, while the standard law-enforcement cartridge has a red doorway for the cartridges; however, a version of the cartridge with a gray door (6.4 meter range, with a short range of 3 meters) and a version with a green cartridge door (range 7.6 meters, with a short range of 4) also exist. These can be used only by the X26 and M26. In all cases, the doors blow away from the TASER when they are fired.

An interesting feature that can be used with the X26 or M26 (or X3 below) is the TASER CAM. This device is part of a replacement battery pack, projecting below it and below the grip of the shooter, and is used to record audio and video by the shooter for the recording of evidentiary statements and to verify proper weapon use. The TASER CAM comes with a USB port allowing it to download its recording to any computer. It is powered by its own battery pack, contained within the unified weapon/TASER CAM battery pack, which allows for the recording of 1.5 hours of low-light MPEG-4 video at a frame rate of one frame per 10 seconds and continuous audio recording. This pack adds one to the bulk rating of the weapon to which it is added, and standard TASER holsters cannot accommodate the weapon to which the TASER CAM is attached. Recharging is done by inserting the pack into a special charger which plugs into any electrical supply that uses a standard outlet.

The TASER X3

In recognition of the fact that a person hopped on drugs or a well-trained (or just tough) individual can shake off the effects of one TASER hit, the company devised the TASER X3. This is essentially an X26 which has the capability to fire three dart packages in semiautomatic fashion, and can control the voltage to each of them in the same manner as a single package hit, but as a group of three. The effect of multiple hits are devastating – the first hit is resolved as a normal X26 hit, but the second hit results in a -2 on resistance rolls for both sets of barbs in the victim – and a third hit, if one occurs, results in a -4 penalty for each resistance roll. One barb set has the same base stunning duration as the X26, but the second consecutive hit has a base stun duration of an additional 2d12+36 seconds, and a third consecutive hit has a base stun duration of 3d6+54 seconds. Any further resistance rolls must be made separately for each set of barbs in the victim, with any applicable penalties for multiple barbs in the victim, and any penalties imposed by the nature of an X26 shock. The shooter may continue the delivery of pulse cycles for as long as the battery holds out (4.2 minutes for one cartridge at once, 2.1 minutes for two cartridges, or 1.4 minutes for three cartridges), in the same manner as an X26. The shooter may, of course, eject one, two, or all three of the cartridges at any time, in order to engage new targets or apprehend the victim by normal means. He may attempt to fire at and control more than one target if they are within a 20-degree arc in front of him and in range, but each shot becomes progressively difficult (one level greater difficulty per extra target engaged at once). The shooter can rotate the pulses being delivered between the barbs (normally done to increase battery length), but in this case the target may have a small window in which only one normal X26-type resistance roll is required (30% chance if such a rotation is being used; otherwise, the victim has to roll as if two barbs are activated) and the shooter may see him resisting the barbs that is activate and activate the second or even the third in the target. (The shooter can also do this if he has hit more than one target.) The shooter can also fire one cartridge at a target, then follow it up with another shot at any time that he feels that he does not have enough control over his target. No particular shot is more dangerous than another and does not result in additional permanent damage other than the damage caused by the barbs and the initial muscle rigidity. The X3 has two laser spotters: one for use with short and medium-range cartridges, and one for the long-range cartridge. The cartridges used are identical to those used by the X26. As with the X26, the battery pack is good for 25 shots, (or 10 seconds of maintained pulses though one target) though each shot is considered to be an independent shot, and maintaining pulses for multiple hits use an equivalent amount of battery power. Another interesting feature of the X3 is the Warning Arc – a threatening move that can cow some suspects, as it allows the shooter to produce an electric arc across the entire (non-fired) three cartridges, and is visually impressive (though it causes no restraining effect otherwise, and the X3 cannot be used as a contact stun gun).

Advanced TASER M18

The M18 is the predecessor of the X26 series above. Being one of the first TASERs that could be fired at a distance (though not the first), it is often called the AIR TASER. It is a bit larger and bulkier than the X26, but does have an interesting capability that the X26 series lacks – it can be used as both a standard TASER gun and a contact stun gun in a hand-to-hand melee, by pressing the end against the target. If the end it pressed against the target, the probes simply protrude from the dart package instead of firing, and the sock is delivered by contact instead. The M18 works essentially in the same manner as the M26 above, but the shock is designed to be immediately disabling, and the shock falls off relatively quickly compared to the M26. The initial effects are identical to the M26 -- all resistance rolls are at a one-level disadvantage (with Impossible rolls becoming Very Impossible, meaning done at 1/8 normal chances) – but the stun duration is a base of only 1d10+15 seconds. The M18 is powered by an 8-AA-battery alkaline battery pack good for 25 trigger pulls. The M18 uses an earlier variant of the X26^Cdart package, one that allows for the contact use noted above, but does not have the range of an LE dart package.

The M18L version is identical, except for the integral laser pointer. Originally designed for law-enforcement use, the M18 has since been superseded by more advanced designs, and the M18s are being sold to civilians now. However, like other civilian TASER devices, the buyer must call the company for an unlock code before it can be used, unless one has managed to get one that is a former law-enforcement model and is was not properly locked by the previous owners (this is not supposed to happen, but they can be bought on the Internet).

The TASER XREP and the Mossberg X12 LLS

The XREP comes in two forms; the XREP FL is a finned version designed for used in smoothbore shotguns, and the XREP RL is designed for use in rifled shotguns and is not finned. It is a essentially a capacitor in a 12-Gauge slug shell – the ultimate in “Air TASERs.” The XREP is designed to be fired from any 12-gauge shotgun capable of firing 2.75” shells or longer (it is in fact a little shorter than a 2.75” round, at 2.69” for a complete round), though a complete XREP package also includes an internal addition for the shotgun which prevents it from firing any standard shotgun shell as long as the XREP ammunition is to be used; this is called the Radial Ammunition Key. It can be removed in seconds if necessary. (If used in a semiautomatic or automatic shotgun, the gun will not cycle automatically; the shotgun will have to be hand-cycled. With a pump-action shotgun, 5% of XREP rounds will fail to feed on the first and subsequent racks of the slide.) Choke is not important. The XREP projectile uses a minimum of a powder charge, which propels the round out of the barrel out of the gun as a nominal 79 mps, ensuring that impact of the round will do a minimum of lasting damage (the barbs cause 1d6-4 damage, and the impact causes 1d6-5 damage). The shell is finned for stability, with the fins springing out after the round leaves the barrel. Other damage, as from muscle rigidity, is the same as a standard TASER, and penetration is the same. When the XREP is fired, four barbs project from the shell’s front, which impact the target first. Upon impact, six smaller contacts spring into the target, delivering, along with the barbs, the electrical immobilization charge. As this point, the body of the XREP falls away, leaving a short tether from the body of the round (which delivers the shock) to the barbs and contacts. The initial shock is not as severe as a standard LE TASER – the initial resistance roll is not only not at any disadvantage, it is at +1. The initial shock is a single pulse of 20 seconds, leading to a base stun duration of 1d10+15 seconds with no follow-up pulses; the idea is to stun and quickly apprehend. The base range of an XREP round in a standard shotgun, regardless of type, is 25% of the range listed for shot and slugs of the shotgun in question; minimum range is 4.5 meters, and less than this range, the XREP shell will not be armed and will administer no shock.

The Mossberg X12 LLS (Less than Lethal Shotgun) is a heavy modification of the Mossberg M-590 designed specifically for use with the XREP. The X12 uses the XREP RL round exclusively, and the rifling twist of the 18.5” barrel is designed specifically for use with the XREP RL round. (The X12 is not capable of firing conventional shotgun rounds.) This gives the X12 a greater range with the XREP RL than a standard shotgun with an equivalent barrel. The pump action and magazine function as normal with the XREP RL round, with no potential feed problems. The forearm of the X12 has MIL-STD-1913 rail on the top, sides, and front, and the slide has a MIL-STD-1913 rail to which a slide grip is often attached. An X26 can also be attached to the slide rail via an adapter to give the shooter additional firepower and coverage if the target is within the 4.5-meter minimum range of the XREP RL round. The laser spot pointer of the X26 can also be used by the X12 shooter if he does not already have a laser pointer mounted. Additional modifications include a crossbolt safety replacing the top-mounted safety, a high-visibility/non-lethal yellow finish, largely polymer construction, and an optional pistol grip with a telescoping stock.

*The TASER essentially has a penetration of less than Nil – any body armor will stop the barbs, heavy clothing or a heavy coat will stop them 30% of the time, winter clothing will stop them 50% of the time, and even something like a MOLLE vest or combat vest worn without body armor will stop them 20% of the time. Any heavy object the barbs strike have a 5-30% chance of ruining the barbs, depending upon how hard an object the barbs strike.

Thompson/Center Super 16 Contender

Notes: This is a breech-loading precision hunting pistol in the same vein as the Remington XP-100 and their ilk. It can mount a scope of the same type found on rifles and has the ability to interchange barrels to fire a wide variety of calibers. The Super 16 is a variation on an older hunting pistol, the Super 14, but has a tapered barrel instead of a bull barrel.

Thompson/Center G2 Contender

Notes: This is modernized version of the Contender, introduced in 2002. Improvements include a smoother-opening action, an ergonomic grip with more clearance between the grip and trigger guard, a new, more reliable safety system, and a more user-friendly operating system. The G2 Contender uses a different mix of calibers and different barrel lengths (12, 14 or 16.25 inches). As with earlier Contenders, the G2 Contender has adjustable iron sights and is also drilled and tapped for a scope mount.

Thompson/Center Encore

Notes: Similar to the Contender, the Encore is a break-open single shot target and hunting pistol designed to fire a variety of rounds, both standard and exotic. It is similar to the Contender in appearance, but the barrel is heavier; it is, like the Contender’s, also interchangeable. It has several safety features, including a hammer block safety and a bolt interlock. The Encore is drilled and tapped for Thompson/Center scope mounts, and also has dovetailed iron sights. The trigger is adjustable for travel. The grip and fore-end are of walnut with finger grooves and an end cap, or rubber with finger grooves. Finish is either blued or stainless steel for the metalwork. It should be noted that barrels for the Encore are not interchangeable with those of the Contender.

Tunnel Weapon 5-2 (Revolver, Quiet, Special Purpose, or QSPR)

Notes: This chopped revolver was designed for use by “Tunnel Rats,” the short-in-stature but long-in-bravery soldiers that were specially trained to hunt the Viet Cong inside their underground tunnel complexes. The complexes were composed of tiny, cramped tunnels and rooms that were pitch dark when the lanterns were turned off. The standard weapon of the Tunnel Rats was the M-1911A1, but the sound of a .45 ACP round going off in the tunnels was deafening, and even the M-1911A1 was too big and cumbersome for tunnels that could be as small as a half a meter wide. Many Tunnel rats preferred snub-nosed revolvers, but even they could be too big and loud and had too much muzzle flash. .38 snub-nosed and regular-length revolvers were also tried, but still had too much noise and muzzle flash.

The Tunnel Rats devised a specially modified Smith & Wesson 29. The barrel was almost chopped completely off, and the caliber increased. The barrel itself was only 1.375” long, and it was smoothbore. The rear sight was removed, since it was essentially unnecessary at the short range at which it would be used. A new shotgun-type projectile was devised with 15 tungsten pellets to provide an almost instant hail of projectiles. The new projectile was almost as effective as a .410 Gauge shotgun shell, but with better penetration. The cartridge also used an early form of a captive piston system (developed by AAI, but made famous by later Russian silent weapons), resulting in a weapon that was virtually silent and had no muzzle flash. The Tunnel Weapon 5-2 had no external expanding gasses – meaning that the only sound was the hammer falling and a very tiny bang that could not be heard above ground and barely heard below ground.

The Tunnel Weapon 5-2 was first issued as a test to US troops in 1ID and 25ID in 1969. Later, they were issued in larger numbers, though overall numbers of them were always small. Some were also used by Ranger units, LRSU units, and special ops units as a general silent weapon. The history of the Tunnel Weapon 5-2 was not all rosy, unfortunately. No one had taken any special steps to treat the steel of the weapon and weatherproof it against the Southeast Asian climate. Though it’s users liked it, there was some problem with the weapon not having enough stopping power in some cases. Even more unfortunately, by the time higher-ups in the US had cleared the weapon for general manufacture and issue, those in charge of operations in Vietnam had decided that the Tunnel Weapon 5-2 was not worth the trouble of the limited issue it would have, and the project faded away. Some Tunnel Weapon 5-2’s are in military museums; however, most were destroyed after the Vietnam War.

Underwater Defense Gun Mk 1 Mod 0

Notes: One of the first firearms designed to work underwater, the UDG fired a special cartridge which contained a charge of smokeless powder propellant which drives a piston, which is what actually fires the tungsten dart projectile. The UDG can be fired above and underwater, and above water it is a very quiet weapon, with only the sounds of its action and a slapping noise from the piston being heard. (This is, of course, greatly muffled underwater.) The mechanism itself is sort of pepperbox revolver, with the entire barrel assembly (each barrel containing a cartridge) rotating in double-action fashion. The UDG is designed for use at depths of up to 18 meters, and that is the underwater range given below; ranges for more or less depth may be extrapolated from that. The US NAVY SEALs were the only users of the UDG; they used it from the late 1970s until the late 1980s. Very few were ever produced, and they quickly became worn; in addition very few batches of ammunition were manufactured, and by the late 1980s it ran out, with the company that made it refusing to make any more. It was replaced by the Heckler & Koch P-11 for most purposes in 1976, though the UDG continued to be used alongside P-11 into the 1980s.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Production of this weapon was picked up again in 1995, since Heckler & Koch’s ability to produce the necessary amount of P-11s for the world’s naval special operations teams quickly fell off. The UDG was used by the forces of several NATO countries, as well as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and South Korea.

Wichita Mark 40

Notes: This is a type of pistol known as a “silhouette pistol.” The competition for which it is designed involves shooting high-velocity ammunition at metal cutouts of life-sized animals. This means the pistol is heavily-built, to stand up to firing full-sized rifle ammunition, and is very rugged. However, these characteristics mean the Wichita and pistols of its ilk are also quite suitable for hunting at short range as well. The front sight is a sight tube, while the rear sight is fully adjustable; in addition, both can be quickly removed and replaced by a telescopic sight.
