GL - 0 - N - P - varies (40mm grenade launcher) - 20/40 - 1/3 - ST
A russian made, man portable support grenade launcher accepting either a 20 or 40 top loading box magazine. The interesting thing about this weapon is that it is capable of 3 round burst fire, and thus it is a popular choice for mounting in an open fixture on many vehicles.
RIF - +2 - N - R - 8D10 (20mm AP) - 20 - 1 - VR
This enormous rifle truly more than most can handle. Originally designed for full conversions and ACPA, it is possible for a strong man to carry and fire, though any doing so are strongly encouraged to do so only from a prone position. The primary purpose of this weapon is anti-armor, though it has also proven extremely effective as an anti-cyborg weapon.
HVY - +2 - N - R - varies (40mm mini-missile) - 18 - 1 - ST
A 40mm mini-missile launcher capable of being either man portable or easily mountable on ACPA or vehicles and fired electricaly. Special targeting sensors and heat dispersion vents make the weapon more acurate and safer to fire in crowded situations.
MG - +1 - N - P - 6D6+2 (7.62mm cased) - 50/100 - 3/20 - VR
The MG142 is the latest machinegun from Browning. Chambered in 7.62 ammo this weapon is perfect for any support or suppresion needs.
HVY - +2 - N - C - 6D10+5 - 50 - 1/3/15 - ST
A chinese bazooka styled rocket launcher, featuring a weighted rear lug for better counter balance, which vastly improves aim and makes it easier to keep the weapon steady. The rocket itself is noteworthy due to the fact that all the weapons propellant is stored in the stem, which falls away activating 4 pop out fins on the explosive head which keep the rocket flying straight onto its target.
RIF - +1 - N - C - 8D10 (20mm) - 10 - 1 - ST
A standard 20mm anti-tank rifle, also extensilvely used as a borg suppresion weapon by the military, C-SWAT, and corporations.
HVY - +2 - N - P - 7D10AP HEAT - 1 - 1 - VR
Militech is taking the LAW in a new direction and making it reusable and much more compact. Rockets are loaded onto the front of the weapon before firing, and the weapon features a folding shoulder stock.
MG - +2 - N - R - 9D6+3 (7.62mm cased ETE) - 30/100 - 1/15 - ST
Now here is a scary concept, a fully automatic machine gun that comes electrothermally enhanced. Yeah, we thought it was impossible too, but Arasaka is trying it out anyway. It seems they have overcome the heat problem by utilizing a special refrigeration system on the barrel and action of the weapon. The cooling system kicks in as soon as the weapon begins firing and is controlled by an alectrical switch in the trigger mechanism. Thinking ahead the cooling system was designed along with the ETE battery, so both power source and freon charge must be recharged after every 1000 shots.
GL - +1 - N - P - VARIES (40mm micro-missile) - 8 - 1 - VR
A Towa made micro-missile launcher firing the new 40mm size missiles. Perfect for those who don't want to waste time eliminating a target.
GL - +1 - N - R - 8D10 - 1 - 1 - VR
The latest in surface to air weapons, the Tyson fires a heat seeking fire and forget missile with state of the art tracking technology. The most remarkable thing about the weapon is that is also useful against ground targets, and for this purpose there is a switch on the weapon, allowing it to convert to a wire guided anti-tank weapon with enormous effectiveness.
EXP - 0 - N - P - 7D10 - 1 - 1 - VR
An extremely powerful anti tank landmine from Russia. Its pressure trigger is set for 300 lbs, and the weapon also comes with a remote detonator for the personal touch.
HVY - +3 - N - R - 12D10AP HEAT - 1 - 1 - VR
A dual purpose missile launcher from Arasaka. For anti-tank purposes the fired missile is wire guided to target, but for anti-aircraft purposes the weapon introduces an entirely new device. Its called the VITA system, the missile itself has a small camera mounted to it, which transmits the video back to the weapon's eyepiece. The weapon controls the missile by remote though controls added to the weapons grips. What it all boils down to is that if you can play a simple video game you can hit your target. The computer, reciever, and other electronics for this system are stored in a small box about the size of a gas can, and are jacked into the weapon prior to it being fired.
HVY - +1 - N - R - 7D10 - 1 - 1 - ST
A compact but extremely powerful rocket propelled grenade launcher.
HVY - +2 - N - R - 6D6+2 (7.62mm caseless) - 500 - 20 - VR
Like the APEX this is a perimeter defense weapon capable of acting either completely autonomously or by remote control. It fires 7.62mm caseless ammunition and can cover a 360 degree radius of 100 meters. On autonymous setting it is movement activated and will fire on anything larger than 2 cubic feet, (actually it can be set to fire on almost anything larger than an insect). The weapon is not as armored as the APEX, but is much lighter and more portable. (The weapons computers operate at a skill of 20.)
The standard fragmentation version does 7d6, and comes in the same wide assortment as the standard 25mm micro-missile. (For damage of the vareity types consult Blackhands 40mm grenade listing.)
GL - +1 - N - P - VARIES (40mm grenade) - 20 - 1 - ST
This pump action grenade launcher is a heavy, unwiedly but remarkably effective weapon. It also accepts 4 gauge shotgun shells, which have a tendency to leave a very messy target.
HVY - +1 - N - P - 6D10 - 1 - 1 - ST
A standard RPG used by most European militaries including the EDF.
HVY - -2 - N - P - 5D10 - 1 - 1 - ST
If you need a cheap rocket launcher this weapon is for you. The weapon itself is reliable, unfortunately the rockets it fires aren't as keen. There are many reports of duds, premature detonation, and everyone knows how inacurate they are.
HVY - +1 - N - R - 6D10 (mini-rockets) - 3 - 1 - VR
Using the same small rockets as the MINI-ROC 6 and 15, the MR-3SHOT is a rifle sized rocket launcher with the destructive power to take down anything that gets in your way. The rockets are loaded manually and must clear the barrel by 10 feet before arming.
MG - +1 - N - C - 6D6+2 (7.62mm cased) - 50/100 - 1/3/20 - ST
This Chinese machine gun is the most prevalent support weapon found among chinese military units and accepts belt fed ammunition or 50 round magazines. A very sturdy, albeit heavy weapon.
GL - 0 - N - P - VARIES (25mm grenade) - 25 - 1/3 - ST
At only slightly larger than a standard machine gun, the Heihachi 25mm grenade launcher is the perfect support weapon for a quick insertion team, especially in situations where anti-personell work is necessary, but property damage needs to be kept to a minimum. And with the three shot burst option you can definately keep their heads ringing.
RIF - +1 - N - R - 5D10 - 10 - 1 - VR
The designers at Militech are really a bunch of creepy devils aren't they. The Baz-12 was supposed designed to make it possible for vehicle crews to carry heavy firepower, without taking up too much space, as well as a more portable RPG for U.S. military personell. However, the BAZ-12 folds up into such a small package that it can easily fit inside most large suitcases or duffel bags. Due to this the weapon has become extremely popular with black ops teams, and unfortnately terrorists.
HVY - +1 - N - R - 8D10 (20mm) - 100 - 1/20 - ST
This extremely impressive anti-tank gun fires the enormous 20mm round at an incredible 2400 rounds per minute. It must be mounted on a tripod, gyrostabilizer, or vehicle to be fired. Smartchipping is available. Very common sight on EDF vehicles.
HVY - +2 - N - R - 4D6 (micromissile) - 40 - 1 - VR
Never complain about lack of firepower again, the MMW-52's magazine holds 40 micromissiles and makes the perfect support weapon for any assault team. The weapon features a retractable stock and an adjustable foregrip for maximum comfort while firing. There is no more need to worry about full conversions, helicopters, ACPA, or AV's again, not with this bitch.
HVY - -1 - N - R - 4D6 (micromissile) - 15 - 1 - UR
Dai Lung is again moving into a dangerous area with its Horde micro-missile launcher. The weapon is quickly losing favor among the chinese troops it is issued to for its extreme inacuracy and tendency to malfunction. Unfortunately, the weapons only real innovation, its rotating 4 barrel system, designed to prevent overheating from the missile exhaust, is the primary source of the weapons malfunctions. Most commonly the barrel will under, or over rotate and lock up, preventing the weapon from firing. When this happens the weapn must be dissassembled, as due to a flaw in design the elctrical system has a tendency to short out easily.
HVY - +2 - N - VR - 13D10+5 (30mm ETE) - 8 - 1 - VR
This is truly the biggest of the big man portable guns you are likely to ever find. This weapon is impossible to fire without a gyrostabilizer mount and at least a body of 10, at least if you want to survive the experience. Most commonly this weapon is used by full conversions or mounted to an ACPA or linear frame, however recently the weapon has been issued to special forces teams (along with an improved version of the same powered gyrostabilizer mount used on the EMG-85 railgun). Anything short of a battleship hit with this weapon will most likely be destroyed. (Any human attemtping to fire this weapon without a gyro stabilization mount will take 1d6+2 points of bruise damage regardless of body type, any human with a bod of 10 or lower (15 without the powered gyro-stabilization mount) firing this weapon must also roll a ten sided die, on a 5 or lower his shoulder is shattered. Also without a stabilization mount, any human firing the weapon, regardless of BOD will be flung back wards 2D6 feet unless thouroughly braced.)
RIF - +1 - N - C - 6D6+2 (7.62mm cased) - 30/100 - 1/3/20 - VR
A very nicely designed, easy to maintain machine guun from colt, the MG-678 accpets either a 30 round box magazine, a 100 round drum, or belted ammunition.
RIF - +3 - N - R - 18D10 AP - 1 - 1 - VR
The largest man portable rocket launcher available, eliminate anything with this. It fires a very deadly and very large wire guided missile.
MG - -2 - N - C - 5D6 (5.56mm caseless) - 250 - 1/3/30 - ST
A very simple MG, with a huge drum magazine. For less snag, and ease of carrying the shoulder stock unfolds.
HVY - +1 - N - C - 5D10 AP HEAT - 6 - 1 - VR
Easy to operate, incredibly effective. The CB-79 is one of europes favorite anti-armor weapons.
HVY - +1 - N - R - 5D6+3 (7mm caseless) - 100 - 3/60 - VR
This European heavy assault cannon is a scaled down version of the same sort of cannon usually mounted to the nose of helicopters. Yet it is fully man portable, and fireable. Acuracy drops by 3 if not using a gyrostabilizer mount or tripod however.
HVY - +1 - N - P - 7D10 - 10 - 1 - ST
A russian bazooka, popular to eastern europe, african, chinese, and south american militaries.
RIF - -1 - N - C - 5D10+10 AP (25mm) - 15 - 1 - ST
A very large, and effective anti-tank rifle.
HVY - +2 - N - R - 7D10 - 6 - 1/2 - VR
The SAM-72 from militech is a bit heavy and unwieldy, making it hard to carry in the field, but its effectiveness more than makes up for that. One man is all thats needed to fire this behemoth, and properly trained he is more than capable of defending against any airbourne attackers.
HVY - +2 - N - R - 6D10 (mini-rockets) - 6 - 1 - ST
Using the same rockets as the Mini-ROC 6 and 15 weapon systems, the SAT-30 is a formidable battlefield weapon, with a reloadable six round magazine.
RIF - +1 - N - P - 8D10 AP (20mm AP) - 20 - 1 - VR
An effective anti-armor rifle, common to european troops, especially mounted on vehicles.
MG - +1 - N - C - 6D6+2 (7.62mm caseless) - 80/100 - 1/3/25 - VR
A chinese military machinegun, the folding foregrip is a nice touch. Able to accept an 80 round magazine or belt fed ammunition.
MG - +1 - N - R - 5D6 (5.56mm caseless) - 150 - 1/3/50 - VR
A truly innovative weapon, the Ultralite is a 4 barrelled, helical fed machinegun chambered in 7.62 caseless ammunition and capable of spitting out 10,000 rounds of ammunition per minute. Comes standard with smart chipping and is currently gaining interest from many military forces, including the EDF and U.S. military.
MG - +1 - N - C - 5D6 (5.56mm caseless) - 75+75 - 1/4/40 - ST
Ths foor barrelled dual fed machinegun is more overkill than can be believed. If you don't have the strength to carry and fire a minigun, but want to put as many holes into something as possible then this is the weapon for you. The 4 barrels are on left and right opposite rotation, this means that the upper right and lower left barrells fire simultaneously, then the upper left and lower right. The weapon was designed this way to prevent overstressing the barrels while still maintaining a maximum rate of fire.
HVY - -1 - N - R - varies (40mm grenade) - 50 - 1/5 - ST
This man portable belt fed grenade launcher is perfect for your support needs. A long time favorite of many european militaries, including the EDF, the HSGL-32 is now available to you. While usually mounted in the turret of a tank, or on back of a jeep, the HSGL-32 is perfectly capable of being fired without assistance by an individual, providing he is fairly strong.
GL - -1 - J - R - VARIES (25mm grenade) - 5 - 1 - ST
This 25mm grenade launcher folds into a very compact and unasuming packege, but quickly folds out again to put the fear of god into your enemies.
HVY - +1 - N - R - 9D10 (30mm) - 50 - 1/5 - ST
Damn thats a big gun, 30mm belt fed, the BART-4 is the bane of armor. Must be either mounted on a vehicle, or on a reinforced tripod to be fired.
HVY - +1 - N - R - 6d10 (.50cal BMG) - 50/100 - 3/30 - ST
This belt fed "big 50" can be either tripod mounted, or placed in an open mount on a vehicle. A true support weapon, this will cover an area large enough for your men to advance, or sweep a field of fire to surely cut down any attacking force. The HAM-17 can be either belt or magazine fed, and smartchipping is available.
HVY - +1 - N - R - 6D6+2 (7.62mm caseless) - 100 - 1/50 - VR
Do you really need to lay down a field of fire that will absolutely destroy anything in its path, then you need the HMG 9000. This electrically fired heavy machine gun is man portable, and with the aid of a gyro stabilizer you can even fire it on the run. For more acurate fire you can mount it on a vehicle or tripod. It accepts belt fed ammunition only and for an extra 200eb you can get it smartchipped. (-3 to acuracy if firing the weapon without gyro stabilizer or tripod.)
