Weapons Galore 2: The Overkill Catalog
Here we are, with even more guns. This time, there's a theme, and that theme is overkill. Whether a weapon is a multi-barreled beast or an imposing BFG, it's certainly ridiculous. Each weapon comes with a little note attached - some explain the weapon's inclusion in the request, others have fun facts, all are totally unnecessary, but they're fun to write, so what the hell, why not. Next up: Spells!
PISTOLS
AF2011-A1 - Your average 1911 clone. Really, there’s nothing weird about this thing. Other than being double barreled and firing two bullets per trigger pull, of course, but I mean, is that even surprising to anyone at this point?
DEX and STR oriented weapon. AP 3.
Notes: Goddamn this thing is unnecessary. If you ever wanted to consistently frag polar bears in one trigger pull, I guess this one’s for you, but hey - in SRT land, who doesn’t?
REVOLVERS
Magnum Research BFR - Officially, this beast of a revolver’s name stands for “Big Frame Revolver,” but we both know that’s not what you’re thinking. Single action, holds 5 rounds of glorious .50 caliber.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 4.
Notes: Extensive research and comparisons of various calibers of ammunition led me to conclude that the .60 Zeliska is the most overkill revolver in existence, and that’s already in the codex, so I guess this will have to do.
ASSAULT RIFLES
AO-63 - You ever just wanted to fire two AK rifles at once? In the same hand? No? Too bad, because now you can do just that. This double-barreled AK is the fastest assault rifle ever made at 6000 RPM in 2 round burst, and unbelievably, it’s highly reliable and accurate despite its double-barrel configuration. Comes with being an AK, I guess.
STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 3.
Notes: Man, there aren’t a lot of ridiculous assault rifles. This thing is pretty fucking overkill, though. Unbelievably, it was almost the standard issue rifle for the Spetsnaz - it was in the competition that would eventually name the AN-94 standard issue, and was praised by Russian special forces for its accuracy and reliability.
RIFLES
.950 JDJ “Fat Mac” - Did you ever just feel like really, severely killing someone dead? Like, turning them into a fine, red mist? Did you also want to kill all the people, polar bears and aircraft carriers standing between you and that guy? And did you ever feel like doing that in one shot, no questions asked? Then this single-shot rifle, chambered in what’s basically autocannon rounds, is for you.
PER oriented weapon. AP 5.
Notes: This weapon is the inspiration for this whole request. It’s… Yeah, wow.
SUBMACHINE GUNS
MK18 Mod 0 - Yes, it’s technically a carbine and not an SMG. No, I don’t care.
DEX and PER oriented weapon. AP 2.
Notes: Man, there’s not a lot of overkill to be gotten from SMGs. It was either this or an old WW1 relic.
SHOTGUNS
Punt Gun - Jesus christ, you’re gonna carry this around like a normal gun? This 4-gauge front-loading shotgun is intended for mounting on a small boat to kill an entire week’s dinner worth of ducks, or just about anything you aim it at, in one shot. It’s around 9 feet long, and utterly impractical to use normally - the length and weight of the gun is absurd, let alone the fact that the recoil would break your entire arm up to the shoulder. But hell, being strong enough and sawing it off, it just might work.
STR oriented weapon. AP 4. Requires 8 STR.
Notes: Hell, why not.
MACHINE GUNS
FN BRG-15 - This heavy machine gun is unusual for a lot of reasons. First of all, it feeds from two belts into a single chamber. Second, it used some features that were eventually co-opted by the P90, namely the bottom-facing ejection port. But most importantly, it fires 15.5x106mm bullets so fuck huge they would make an anti-materiel rifle blush at 600 rounds per minute.
STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 5. -1 DEX.
Notes: Sorting wikipedia’s list of machine guns from biggest to smallest caliber does wonders when you’re looking for overpowered bullshit.
EXPLOSIVES
M202 FLASH - This quad-barreled launcher fires missiles filled with an incendiary payload akin to napalm, and was intended to replace flamethrowers when it was introduced. For that reason, if you fire this thing at a human, you're most likely gonna be in legal trouble. Often mistaken for a traditional rocket launcher by idiots who can’t be arsed to research beyond their video game of choice.
STR and PER oriented weapon. AP 5.
Notes: I considered the Davy Crockett for this slot, but for a multitude of reasons, it didn’t make it in. At least one was being explicitly told that it wasn’t making it in. Some day, Coop. Some day.
