Well, the only thing for certain is that this weapon started out as an
old german Mauser, but has since undergone such radical reworking that
it only barely resembles the gun it once was. Rebored to fire
12mm ammo, cosmetically enhanced, and heavily engraved. This

Large, heavy, and completely custom. This weapon was totally

round for nomads considering its relative unavailability. It is
reloaded from the right side, one shell at a time. The firing
mechanism is remarkably simple and virtually unbreakable. A very
large gun, but stylish enough to garner respect wherever you find
yourself. (10 second reload time)

This sword was created by an intricate weaving of old chinese coins

known how old this weapon is, or who created it or how. What is
known is it is now in the possession of an old cantonese man in the
nomad market who teaches martial arts. He says the weapon is for
sale, but not for any amount of money or earthly goods, only one
willing to give his soul to the art of the sword may purchase it, the
currency being his ability to beat the old master.

One of the oddest and most unconventional weapons ever built, it is a
revolver that fires caseless ammunition. It is also not a
revolver in the tradition sense of the word, while the spherical
cylinder does rotate, it does not spin to a new chamber, instead the
bullets are loaded into the nodules on the ball, which tumbles each
bullet in turn into the firing chamber. It takes 30 seconds to
reload the weapon fully, but only one round to put one bullet into a
chamber. One of a kind.

A very cheap, but surprisingly reliable weapon.
The lack of any
real sights whatsoever, and the hammerless design, are a bit odd, but
for a back up piece, or emergency defense, it does the trick just
fine. Of course many nomads use this weapon as their main
sidearm, but that is probably more due to cost than anything
else. Made by Technomancers and sold here in the market. No
two are ever exactly the same. (actual caliber of weapon varies,
from .38 special to .44 magnum)

This single shot weapon made from stamped metal is a one shot firearm
chambered in 30-06. According to the man selling it, it is made
specifically for those who want to show off their skill when hunting,
or even in combat. How they are supposed to accomplish this
is beyond even me, as this weapon isn't very accurate. Still,
there is a certain sense of style to only needing one shot.

New American West. Available with any add on features you can

Shotguns are always popular weapons, and sawing off the barrel for a
greater spread at close range is nothing new. This weapon takes
it to the extreme. Most shotguns are shaved to the choke, this
shotgun has actually had the choke shortened, dropping its ammo
capacity to 3, but also enabling faster reloads and more
concealability, and to further the conceivability factor, the stock
has
also been removed.

A man named Deckard
builds these
guns right here in the Nomad Market. He used to be a cop in a
simpler time, one of the first members of LA's C-SWAT teams.
After getting injured due to the inefficient firepower, he took his
disability pay, and hit the road, and dreamed up this little
baby. Firing a full sized 30-06 round, this weapon packs enormous
wallop. NCPD originally looked into a contract with Deckard, but
Norse Technologies quickly made his weapon obsolete for there
purposes. Still this gun is a legend, and among cop circles,
owning one is a symbol of pride. The weapon holds 5 rounds, and
has an extra bonus of a 30-06 single shot for emergencies. This
is one of the few weapons built by nomads which is seen with any
regularity outside the community. Deckard makes about ten of
these a month, and has recently hired a woman named Rachel as his
assistant, so it's possible production may increase. A snub nose
version is also available with a single shot 20ga replacing the 30-06.

Sometimes you folks scare the hell out of me. What we have here
is a solid frame, 2 shot, over under handgun, built to fire high
powered rifle rounds. It is a break open design, and is simple to
operate, it also weighs 6 lbs before you load it. From what I
understand it is a captured Raffen-Shiv gun, used to stop vehicles by
putting bullets into their engine blocks, from close range. I
call it honest abe, but I wouldn't trust it as even a
paperweight. This is truly the nomad version of a Polymer

safety isn't an issue, this is the gun for you.

This has to seriously be one of the most inventive, unique, and just
plain neato whiz bang guns I have ever seen. Want the reliability
of a revolver but don't want to sacrifice ammo count, well pardner,
this is the gun you have been waiting for. The firing mechanism
acts like any other revlver, chambered for the always common .357
round. Where it gets different is the long tube underneath, that
actually holds another 4 fully loaded cylinders. At the touch of
a lever the empty cylinder is ejected upwards from the gun, and the
next cylinder just cycles right into place. In other words, in
the time it takes you to pull the trigger you can reload your
weapon. Cylinders are replaced by pulling the rear of the tube
down and pushing them in one at a time. And just for that extra
bit of cool, whoever built this thing put a blade on the bottom of the
grip, so you can use the gun like an axe in close quarters combat.

You could probably get more for this weapon from a collector, but its

It fires 3 rounds of 5.5mm chinese ammunition, which with the recent

A favorite weapon of the Raffen-Shiv due to their versatility, low cost

hunk of wood and carve it into a ball, or a baseball, or whatever, then
drive really long spikes into it. While killing someone with one
of these is pretty unlikely, you will most definately ruin their day,
and their face. Often called nomad shuriken, these are thrown
weapons. Its not uncommon to see two or three tethered together
and used as a bolo. These death balls also double as very
effective caltrops for shredding tires, and sometimes a soft and hollow
golfball is used for the base so that more of the spikes length is
driven into the tires when the vehicle runs over them.

There are many times that nomads
are brought into conflict with statics, and as such caseless ammunition
is a frequent spoil of war, since so many of the modern guns utilize
it. for the most part caseless ammunition is distrusted by the
nomad community due to residue buildup and jamming issues, but
sometimes you gotta make due with what the road gives you. This
weapon, chambered in 12mm caseless is a nomads attempt to make use of
the surplus caseless ammo floating around. It is easy to clean
and comes with a kit which includes several barrels which allow you to
rechamber the weapon to fire any caseless am,munition from 9mm to
11mm. Changing out the barrel takes about 30 seconds with
practice. The magazine for the weapon also has variable settings
allowing it to hold ammo of carying types, although only one type of
ammo may be loaded at any given time, so you can't mix 12mm with 9mm,
at least not without blowing your own face off.
