Heavy Pistols Information
Ares Predator
Considered by many the premier heavy pistol, the Predator is a menacing weapon popular among mercenaries and security services.
Ares Predator II
The upgraded version of the popular Predator, the Predator II includes an integral smartlink system.
Ares Predator III
New and improved, the Predator III is the latest variant of this street samurai favorite, featuring an integral smartlink-2 system.
Ares Viper Slivergun
This pistol fires flechette ammunition (which is already factored into its Damage Code). It has the range of a heavy pistol and features a built-in silencer.
Browning Max-Power
The Browning is the Ares Predator’s primary competitor as the toughest heavy pistol.
Browning Ultra Power
This improved version of the Browning Max-Power is smaller than its predecessor, with the same intense punch. It includes a built-in top-mounted laser sight.
Cavalier Deputy
This reliable revolver is favored by the rough types who affect a wild-west style. It fires more quickly than the Ruger Super Warhawk, making it a solid adversary for automatic pistols. The Deputy cannot mount silencers.
Colt Manhunter
Designed by famous bounty hunter Andrea McBaine to perform reliably under the most adverse conditions, the Manhunter is popular among law enforcement officers. The Manhunter features an integral barrel-mounted laser sight.
Eichiro Hatamoto II
A single-shot large bore defensive firearm, the Hatamoto II fires shotgun rounds from a heavy pistol sized package. This weapon uses the ranges for heavy pistols, but functions according to the shotgun rules.
FN-5 7C
This heavy pistol fires light pistol ammunition at an extremely high velocity. Capable of operating in standard auto and burst fire modes, the weapon's efficient design provides 1 point of recoil compensation.
Morrissey Alta
The largest firearm in the Morrissey family, the Alta is designed to be just as stylish as the Elan or Elite. While it is small
for the heavy pistol designation, its power provides that to be the correct classification. It has a built-in underbarrel laser sight.
Morrissey Elite
A slightly smaller version of the Morrissey Alta, the Elite is considered a heavy pistol but uses the ranges for light pistols. Like the Alta, it features an integral underbarrel laser sight.
Remington Roomsweeper
The short-barreled Roomsweeper heavy shotgun is popular with urban fighters for its high take-down capability and significant intimidation factor. (The weapon uses heavy-pistol ranges, but shotgun rules.) It can be loaded with normal rounds instead of shotgun rounds, in which case the weapon does 9M damage.
Ruger Super Warhawk
This heavy revolver accepts all standard accessories except a silencer.
Ruger Thunderbolt
Because it is the chosen weapon of Lone Star, officers of that organization can recognize the sound of a Thunderbolt being fired from a considerable distance, and will harass and/or detain any non-Lone Star person carrying one. The Thunderbolt fires only in burst fire mode (already incorporated into the Damage Code), but incurs no recoil penalty on the first burst fired in a Combat Phase. The second burst suffers a +4 recoil penalty. Each Thunderbolt comes equipped with either a built-in underbarrel laser sight (+250 =Y=) or an internal smartgun system (+400 =Y=).
Savalette Guardian
Inside the chrome-steel finish of this popular heavy pistol is a plethora of extras. The Guardian can fire a single three-round burst by using a Complex Action. Its design provides the equivalent for 1 point of recoil compensation and it comes with a built-in smartgun system.
WW Infiltrator
Marketed by Weapons World, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ares, the Infiltrator is a heavier version of the SA Puzzler. Just like the Puzzler, this weapon is completely composed of polyresin materials and cannot be detected by MADs. The gun can be broken down into component parts that mimic tolietries and other commonly carried items in a travelers luggage, making it even easier to transport illegally. Recognizing the various components as belonging to a gun requires a Perception (10) Test or a Pistols B/R (6) Test. Despite its name, the Puzzler can be easily assembled or disassembled with a Pistols B/R (4) Test and a base time of 10 Combat Turns. For maximum concealabilty, those attempting to smuggle this weapon often carry Hi-C plastic rounds for ammunition.
