Anschutz 520

     Notes: This semiautomatic rimfire rifle has an unusual stock that is more akin to military rifles, in that the fore-end and rear stock are separated by the receiver.  It has an adjustable trigger and simple leaf rear sights.  Variants include the Model 520/61, a longer version; the model 525, a shorter version with a wooden barrel guard and a simple peep sight; and the 525/62, a longer-barreled version of the 525; and several deluxe versions.

Anschutz MSR RX-22

     Notes: Unlike anything Anschutz has produced before, the RX-22 looks more like an assault rifle than the target rifles that Anschutz normally makes.  As a matter of fact, it looks to me like a stubby version of an FN SCAR.  Anschutz says that the RX-22 is not a plinker, but “an extremely accurate and reliable tactical trainer.”  This does not obviate the fact that it would have equal utility as a varmint rifle or a plinker, or a target rifle. Anschutz has been a bit cagey as to whether it is an Anschutz-produced product, but insists that the RX-22 is “designed and fabricated by Anschutz,” with all-Anschutz parts “where it counts.” The weapon does have a resemblance to the ISSC MK-22. Strange.

     Regardless, the RX-22 is an excellent rifle, becoming popular in the segment of the market who wants a good-looking (and military-looking) rimfire rifle.  The match-quality 16.5-inch barrel is crafted from a chrome-vanadium-moly steel alloy and is rumored to be cold-hammer forged.  Where legal, the RX-22 can be had with a threaded muzzle to allow it to be used with a flash suppressor, silencer, or muzzle brake.  Where it is not legal, the muzzle has a target crown.  The upper receiver and handguards have a continuous MIL-STD-1913 rail, along with removable, flip-up BUIS.The sides and the underside of the handguard also have rails.  The stock may be laminate wood or polymer, and may be side-folding or fixed. The receiver is polymer, but the handguards may also be wood or polymer. The controls are fully ambidextrous; the charging handle may be moved into one of three positions to suit the stature of the shooter. Finish for the exposed metalwork is black, except for the steel barrel, which has a natural finish.  The receiver and handguards may be black with a wooden fore-end and side-folding stock (the Precision Black); a black lower receiver with a white upper receiver and wooden fore-end and side-folding stock (the Precision); all-black with a fixed stock (the Black Hawk); a similar version with a folding stock (the Black Hawk G), an all Desert Tan version with a fixed stock (the Desert); and the same rifle with a folding stock (the Desert G).  These rifles all have rubber recoil pads on the butts.  They also have target adjustable-pull-weight triggers.  Wooden side-folding stocks and fore-ends can be replaced with polymer versions if desired.

     A further version, the Competition has a stock adjustable for length of pull and butt height, a side-folding polymer stock, and a white upper and black lower.  The side and lower MIL-STD-1913 rails are absent, but the rifle has sling swivels; the front sling swivel can also be used as a bipod mount, which can be slid up or down the fore-end from front to rear.

Erma EM-1

     Notes:  This is a copy of the M-1 Carbine, virtually identical to the real M-1 Carbine except for the caliber and the modifications necessary to fire that caliber.  Just as there was a curious (and somewhat unwarranted) fascination with the M-1 Carbine for several decades after World War 2, there was a similar fascination with look-alikes; the EM-1 sold rather well because of it, and it was fairly easy to find in Western Europe and North America.  A modification of the EM-1 is the ESG-22; it is an EM-1 modified to fire .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire ammunition, and has a longer barrel as well as smaller magazines.

Heckler & Koch HK-94

     Notes: The HK-94 is essentially a civilian version of the MP-5, with the barrel extended to carbine length and modified for semiautomatic fire only (and very difficult to convert to automatic fire).  It was built primarily for the US market, and was rarely sold outside of the United States and Canada.  Other than the lack of automatic fire capability and the long barrel, there are a few other differences between the MP-5 and HK-94: the barrel lacks lugs, the characteristic “flipper” type magazine release has been replaced by a button, and a few other minor details.  The standard version is the HK-94A2, with a plastic stock; the HK-94A3, with a folding stock, was banned by the Brady Gun Bill and has yet to be put back into production (if it ever is).

Heckler & Koch HK-270/300

     Notes:  This is a standard format hunting rifle, popular in the US, Canada, and Europe. It has a light trigger pull, Monte Carlo stock, and has an integral scope mount as well as iron sights. The HK300 is a .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire version of the same weapon. The HK-270 and HK-300 were introduced in 1978, along with the related centerfire rifles HK-770 and HK-940.  They use fine-quality walnut stocks with hog’s back combs and squared cheekpieces.  Most were made with checkering on the pistol grip wrist and fore-end, and some are elaborately decorated.  They are equipped with sling swivels.

Heckler & Koch HK-630/770/940

     Notes: Despite this weapon’s conventional civilian appearance, the HK-770 is basically a G-3 battle rifle in a greatly modified form.  Internally, the mechanism would be recognizable to anyone who is familiar with the G-3 (or its HK-91 civilian counterpart), but externally, it is a conventional civilian hunting rifle.  The HK-630 is the same weapon, but in 5.56mm NATO caliber; the HK-940 is also the same, but fires the .30-06 Springfield cartridge.

Heckler & Koch HK-300

     Notes: Heckler & Koch literature claims that this rifle is the most accurate .22 magnum rifle in the world.  It is lightweight, and operates by inertia blowback.  The cold-hammer forged barrel is 19.7 inches long. The stock is of European walnut and has checkering on the pistol grip wrist and on the fore-end.  The iron sights consist of a V-notch rear adjustable for windage and a post front adjustable for elevation.  Exterior metalwork is polished blue.

Heckler & Koch SL-6

     Notes: This is a standard-format hunting rifle from Heckler and Koch that grew out of earlier H&K hunting rifles such as the HK-270/300/630/770/900 series.  They have the famous H&K roller-locking operation and are drilled and tapped for scope.  They are excellent-quality weapons.  The weapon is perfectly balanced and uses the HK delayed roller-locked action.  It has a 17.71-inch barrel which is cold-hammer forged.  It has iron sights similar to those on the G-3 battle rifle, and mounting a scope is designed to be simple and for the sight to retain its zero.

     The SL-7 is the SL-6’s heavier caliber sister weapon, chambered for 7.62mm NATO.  It is otherwise identical to the SL-6.

Heckler & Koch SL-8/SL-8--1

     Notes: This is a “civilianized” modification of the G-36 assault rifle.  The SL-8-1 version was primarily designed for sale in the US; it has features made to comply with US gun regulations at the time, such as the enclosed pistol grip, lack of a flash suppressor, a non-menacing grey or white color instead of black, and an inability to use anything other than 5, 10, or 20-round magazines, and other such things to make it more palatable to the anti-gun lobby.  The SL-8 also has a longer barrel than the G-36, making it a bit more accurate in long-range work.  A Picatinny rail, optional on the G-36, is standard on the SL-8 and SL-8-1.  The typical SL-8 or SL-8-1 was also sold with a 1.5x sight as part of the purchase price. 

     Twilight 2000 Story: This weapon does not exist; instead, a “real” civilianized G-36 (a semiautomatic-only model with no other significant changes) is available, even in the US.  Use the standard G-36 assault rifle figures, but eliminate the automatic and burst fire features for that weapon.

Heckler & Koch SLB-2000K/SLB-2000L

     Notes: This is a hunting rifle made by Heckler and Koch, with a reputation for excellent quality.  It is a standard-format rifle, but built out of high-quality materials, and with the option for seven interchangeable barrels.  If a barrel is changed to allow the use of a different caliber of ammunition, the bolt does not have to be changed; however, different magazines are required.  The SLB-2000K is a carbine variant with a shorter barrel.

Heckler & Koch USC

     Notes: Like the SL-8-1, the USC is a civilian weapon derived from a military one; in this case, the UMP-45 submachinegun.  It has been modified along the same lines as the SL-8-1, with an enclosed pistol grip, no flash suppressor, a lengthened barrel, a Picatinny rail, and a non-threatening color.  Just as the SL-8-1 will not accept standard military magazines, nor will the USC.

Krieghoff High-Power Autoloading Rifle

     Notes: This interesting semiautomatic sporting rifle was produced at a very low rate between 1937 and 1939.  It is a gas-operated design that was unfortunately not picked up for military service and therefore production ceased after only about 250 were built.  It is light and compact and easy to use and shoulder, though the distance between the pistol grip and trigger is too big for small hands to bridge.

Sommer & Ockenfuss TW

     Notes: The TW stands for Tactical Weapon, though it is unknown whether S&O pursued any police or military sales.  Either way, not many sales were made at all; probably less than one hundred units. The TW started with the guts of a Desert Eagle, though they were installed in a proprietary “pistol” part of the converted carbine. The modifications converted the interior Desert Eagle to gas operation with a rotating bolt, which actuated the Desert Eagle components. The actual firearm parts were built of steel and light alloy; the stock is of polymer reinforced with fiberglass bars and has space for an extra magazine in it.. The carbine conversion included a longer barrel, with a muzzle brake and a Weaver Rail above the action in front of the Desert Eagle action.  Further attachment points allows for accessories to the left and right of the carbine barrel.  Ahead of the pistol grip is a large rectangular enclosed section with a foregrip and a hand bump in the middle of the bottom section. The new barrel is nearly 14 inches long.  The TW comes with a flashlight in one of the side mounts, a laser aiming device on the left side, and an Aimpoint red-dot-type sight on top.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: Some of these weapons were used by civilians in Europe, and players might encounter some people armed with it; it is believed that only three are to be found in the US in the Twilight War timeline, plus one in Canada. A TW found or encountered by players may or may not have all the accessories mounted.

Voere M-0014

     The M-0014 was designed in the Mid-1960s as a sort of affordable Voere rifle, at a time when the real-world prices for a Voere rifle were quite high.  The semiautomatic M-0014 operates by simple gas operation and is equipped with hardwood stock that is designed with a finish that simulates walnut (but isn’t).  The M-0014 has a deep pistol grip wrist, a stock with a cheek swell, and a fore-end that is obliquely-cut inwards.  The action is contained within a simple tube with the tangent rear sight about halfway down the top of the receiver and the front blade sight at the end of the barrel – both fixed.  The M-0014 has a 17.5-inch barrel and is fed by a 10-round magazine, with a 15-round magazine being an option.  A long-barreled, the M-0015, was sold primarily in Europe. This version was built from higher-quality wood, had a true Monte Carlo comb on the stock, and a rosewood pistol grip cap and fore-end cap.  It has a 21-inch barrel.  Production of both versions was never high, and stopped in 1975.

     The M-0014 and M-0015 were easy to convert to automatic fire, and kits were even made to convert them, even though all that was necessary was to remove the semiautomatic disconnector.  This is the reason for the automatic fire figures.  Automatic versions were always rare, and one could make a good down-payment on a car with the real-world price that one would command today.

     Notes: This interesting bullpup small-bore rifle is designed for competition, varmint hunting, or just shooting for fun.  The G22 has the fire controls and the magazine integrated into the rear of the stock, there is the primary magazine well (where the weapon feeds from) and another well that holds a spare magazine.  The stock is adjustable for length, up to 20 extra millimeters.  The sights are adjustable, both for windage and elevation and in their ability to be slid along tracks back and forth.  The rear sight mount also has a Weaver rail to allow it to accept most optics, and there are more rails under handguard and under the front of the barrel.  The manual safety consists of a sliding safety that can be locked with a key (the same key as on a P22 pistol).  The G22 also has a cocking indicator and a magazine safety that will not allow the weapon to fire unless a magazine is in the weapon.  The weapon is built largely of polymer, and is available in OD green or black.

     Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon does not exist.
