Unique and Strange Weapons V1.4 Unique and Strange Weapons V1.4 Warning: Lots of guesswork and approximation Enouy’s 48-Shot Percussion Revolver, .442 Caplock (U.K., 1855?) An incredibly impractical and imbalanced weapon, this could fairly accurately be described as a double-action revolving revolver, as 8 6-round cylinders are mounted around a large axis pin attached to the front of the loading lever and the bottom of the grip. Switching between cylinders takes 5 ready actions. If other cylinders have percussion caps fitted, they may fire if the weapon is dropped due to how exposed they are on the outside of the wheel. It is likely only one was ever made. NAACO Brigadier, .45 NAACO (Canada, 1948) A truly massive and powerful handgun, the NAACO Brigadier was based on a significantly scaled up Browning Hi-Power. The .45 NAACO round used was tremendously powerful and was later developed into the .45 Winchester Magnum round, meaning this handgun predated many of the modern “magnum” semi-automatic handguns such as the Desert Eagle by several decades. The weapon faded into obscurity after being rejected by the military after NATO standardization measures, but likely also due to the overpowered cartridge, weight and bulk. While the weapon used an 8-round magazine, a 20-round magazine was also developed (See NAACO Borealis magazine, add -1 Bulk). A conversion kit of a fully automatic trigger module, a stock/barrel shroud assembly and an extended barrel could be attached to the gun to make the NAACO Borealis (Below). Only one was known to have been made. NAACO Borealis, .45 NAACO (Canada, 1948) A conversion of the NAACO Brigadier, the Borealis was a project to turn the massive and powerful handgun into an equally overpowered submachine gun. It used a 20-round magazine as standard but could be used with the standard 8-round magazine of the standard Brigadier. The cost in the table is not for a complete weapon, rather it is merely the cost of a conversion kit to convert the standard Brigadier into a Borealis. As rate of fire is not known, a rate of 900 rounds per minute is given. Dardick Model 1500, .38 Tround (USA, 1950s-1962) Breaking from the normal tradition of rounds being round, the Dardick used a triangular plastic sleeved cartridge for its rotating open chamber design and was very unusual compared to almost anything on the market even today, as while it had very revolver like handling, it had a capacity of 15 rounds. The weapon used an internal magazine that could either be loaded individually or using stripper clips. The magazine fed the triangular rounds, or “Trounds” as they were known, into a rotating cylinder. The weapon operated much like most revolvers (A user familiar with revolvers would have a lower familiarity penalty) and could be used in either single action (RoF 1) or double action (-1 Acc when aiming). The weapon could be changed to a .22 calibre weapon simply by turning a screw to change the firing pin position and replacing the barrel, the .22 calibre Trounds were identical in size to the .38 Trounds as they were simply a sleeve for a conventional .22 Long Rifle round (Dmg 1d+1 pi-, Wt. 2.2/0.17, ST 8). A smaller scaled down version also existed in the Model 1100 (In .38: Dmg 2d-1 pi, Wt. 1.9/0.35, Shots 11(2i), Bulk -2. In .22: Dmg 1d pi-, Wt. 1.7/0.12 ST 8), and a carbine conversion kit with 16” barrel and stock for the Model 1500 in .38 also existed (Dmg 2d+2 pi, Acc 3, Rng 150/1,500, Wt. 4.5/0.48, ST 8†, Bulk -4, Cost $150 (for kit), use Guns (Rifles)). While the weapon design itself is reasonably reliable, poor quality control and issues with ammunition reliability along with a high cost killed off this weapon after only around 100 guns were made and sold. With modern materials and advanced production techniques for the ammunition it is likely that reliability would improve. H&R SPIW, 5.6x57mm triple-bore Tround (USA, 1964) An excellent example of not listening to requirements and attempting to develop something far beyond what current technology is capable of, the H&R SPIW is a bizarre and insane weapon that was doomed from the start. Developed for Project NIBLICK, the requirement of a weapon that could weigh less than 10 pounds loaded with 60 flechettes and 3 grenades was a difficult requirement that the designers at H&R dealt with by completely ignoring it, as they produced a weapon that weighed 23.9 pounds loaded. The weapon used a revolving open chamber like the Dardick revolver, and as such the ammunition was a triangular shape, known as a “Tround”. These “Trounds” were in fact three separate flechette rounds combined into one plastic case, and once these were lined up with the firing position all three of these flechettes would be lined up with their individual barrels and would fire simultaneously. The gun may have had decent ideas, but the plastic triple flechette “Trounds” were flawed. They were connected together with tape in the 20-round drum they were loaded into, and even minor flaws in this could cause bulging and damage to the ammunition, and the rounds themselves were prone to gas leakage. Use the SPIW malfunction table instead of the standard table when malfunctions occur. The rifle was by default equipped with a 3 round revolving grenade launcher (Below), but in the table below the gun is shown as being without the launcher. Other issues shared by all weapons firing these early flechette rounds had was extreme muzzle blast (+2 to Hearing and Vision rolls to locate it firing in the dark) and the light rounds could be deflected by almost anything, even heavy rain (Possibly -1 Acc in such conditions). In the end the safety issues, unreliability and weight meant the weapon didn’t even make it to proper trials, but it could be a useful weapon with significantly more development for fighting anything from communists to aliens. With newer production methods and materials, it is possible that the poor accuracy of the rounds could be improved, improving Acc to 4, however the ammunition at the time was poorly made and highly inconsistent. H&R SPIW Malfunction Table When the SPIW malfunctions, roll 3d. Refer to p. B407. 3-4 – Mechanical Problem 5-6 – Misfire (Roll 1d-4 for the amount of shots that fire, if 0 or less treat as normal misfire, otherwise the rolled number of rounds fire but gun does not cycle and jams) 7-8 – Stoppage 9-11 – Gas Leakage (Weapon fires but gas leakage reduces effectiveness of two of 3 flechettes, increase Rcl to 2 to represent deviation and half all damage from the other two rounds. Then roll against gun HT (10), if this is failed the gun also jams, otherwise other rounds function as normal) 12-14 – Stoppage 15-16 – Misfire (Roll 1d-4 for the amount of shots that fire, if 0 or less treat as normal misfire, otherwise the rolled number of rounds fire but gun does not cycle and jams) 17-18 – Catastrophic gas leakage (Gas leakage causes a squib, as one or two rounds fail to clear the barrel. Roll against gun HT (10), if failed the gun jams, otherwise the weapon is still ready to fire/continuing to fire. If another round is fired roll another HT check, if failed the gun will become inoperable, if failed by 5 or more the gun explodes dealing 1d+2 cr ex [2d], if successful only 2 shots will leave the barrel and HT is reduced by 1. H&R SPIW Grenade Launcher, 40×46mmSR (USA, 1964) A semi-automatic revolving grenade launcher made to attach to the bottom of the H&R SPIW. They could be removed by an armorer from the gun. If attached to the rifle, add the weight of this weapon, add -2 to the bulk of the rifle and increase the strength to 12 due to the weight completely unbalancing the massive weapon. The bipod for the rifle was mounted on the grenade launcher, and as such could be added if the launcher was attached to the rifle. Long 40mm rounds cannot be used due to short chambers. For reloading, spent casings appear to require manual extraction and an extra ready action is required to reload the chamber in line with the barrel. The grenade launcher was fired using the rifle trigger, taking a ready action to switch firing modes. Tula TKB-059, 7.62x39mm (Russia, 1966) A triple-barreled experimental bullpup assault rifle that looks more at home in a movie or video game than real life, the TKB-059 uses a 90 round magazine that is effectively 3 AK magazines in one shared housing. The gun fires at approximately 1800 rounds per minute, ~600 RPM from each barrel. The spent cases eject downwards, meaning that this weapon is more ambidextrous than most similar bullpup weapons. Handling the recoil of what is effectively 3 AK rifles at once is particularly difficult and requires a strong operator. It can either fire in full-automatic or single shot, with single being 3 rounds. Only one was ever made, but with its strange and futuristic look it could easily be a Soviet service weapon in a Soviet themed sci-fi setting. Douglas Recoilless, 9×19mm Parabellum (Canada, 1969) The Douglas Recoilless was a very strange prototype submachine gun developed around a unique blow-forward/blowback operating system that greatly reduced recoil.

    BACK IN BUSINE$$ Gun Industry Plans for the Expiration of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban September 7, 2004 Consumer Federation of America The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) is a nonprofit association of 300 consumer groups, representing more than 50 million Americans that was established in 1968 to advance the consumer interest through research, education, and advocacy. This report was authored by CFA Firearms Project Director Susan Peschin, MHS. Research assistance was provided by Josh Brownstein. Special thanks to Whit Collins, Robert Ricker, and Joseph Vince for their expertise, comments, and review. 1 Introduction In 1994, President Clinton signed The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which included a ban on semiautomatic assault weapons such as the Uzi, AK-47, and TEC-9. The “assault weapons ban” also outlawed high-capacity ammunition magazines that hold more than ten rounds. However, in the negotiating process, lawmakers agreed to a ten-year sunset clause in the legislation. Thus, the assault weapons ban will expire on September 13, 2004 unless Congress and President Bush renew it. Both President Bush and Attorney General Ashcroft have repeatedly said that they support the assault weapons ban, and Attorney General Ashcroft has declared the ban constitutional. Due to the efforts of state gun violence prevention groups, reauthorization and strengthening of the ban is supported by more than 2,000 police chiefs, sheriffs, district attorneys and law enforcement groups. In addition, a majority of Americans support the assault weapons ban. Two national polls commissioned by CFA in September 2003 and February 2004 found that substantial majorities of the public supported renewing the federal assault weapons ban and even more strongly supported new measures to strengthen the ban.

    SALW Guide Global distribution and visual identification FN P90 Fact sheet https://salw-guide.bicc.de FN P90 SALW Guide FN P90 A personal defense weapon (often abbreviated PDW) is a compact semi- automatic or fully-automatic firearm similar in most respects to a submachine gun, but firing an (often proprietary) armor-piercing round, giving a PDW better range, accuracy and armor-penetrating capability than submachine guns, which fire pistol-caliber cartridges.The P90 was designed to have a length no greater than a man's shoulder width, in order to be easily carried and maneuvered in tight spaces, such as the inside of an armored vehicle. To achieve this, the weapon's design utilizes the unconventional bullpup configuration, in which the action and magazine are located behind the trigger and alongside the shooter's face, so that there is no wasted space in the stock. The P90's dimensions are also minimized by its unique horizontally mounted feeding system, wherein the box magazine sits parallel to the barrel on top of the weapon's frame. Overall, the weapon has an extremely compact profile.
