The "Lotta Gang" of pirates carry and use several unusual weapons, many of them designed by Mr. Fury. Ammunition, hand grenades, aerial bombs, and other explosive devices have also emerged from the destructive workshops of the pirates.

Weapons

name              caliber        Range, yds   Shots  Damage  Capacity   Loading    malf  Weight, lbs  Cost  Year

4 ga rifle        4 ga Special       60        1/2  2d10+1      3       magazine   98%        10      unk   1933

   : a large pump-action rifle. Some single- or double-barrel break-open prototype versions may also exist.

     The tungsten-core armor-piercing round (the listed round) can penetrate 1/2" of steel.

37mm launcher     37mm "flare"       10         2    var        2       2 barrel   00%        ~6      $50   1920s

   : short barrel, smooth bore. Many flares, smoke and gas rounds available. Single-barrel launchers are actually more common.

45mm Fury Gun     45mm Fury          20         1    var        2       2 barrel   00%        18      unk   1933

   : a smooth-bore break-open side-by-side double-barrel gun. Muzzle velocity is relatively low (relative to cannons and most rifles!), but even so a powerful set of springs are fitted to tame recoil. The trigger allows the user to choose whether to fire the left or right barrel. Hand-made, no two are quite the same. Overall length with stock attached, 33" -- with stock detached, 23". The weapon can be fired without the buttstock, but it's not recommended. Sights go out to 250 yards (use 60 yards as the Call of Cthulhu range value against vehicles).

     Available are beanbag, shaped-charge, tear gas, buckshot, explosive, inciendary, and smoke cartridges, each about 1.4 lbs.
