Morrow Project Other Weapon Stats

Malfunction values are given in three steps, new/used/worn-out:

 

 

Yellow tint is for weapons that might function marginally with black powder ammunition; red tint is for weapons which won't function with black powder ammunition. By "function" we mean cycle the action to reload a new cartridge -- the weapons might (or might not) be usable by manually working the action.

 

Automatic weapons can fire:

 

 

Firing on automatic is always a Major action.

 

Small Arms

 

     The gun lists for Pulp Adventure have many more pre-WW2 weapons.

Quite a reputation as a "tactical" design (especially the compact, dark finish "Special Forces" version), famously used for two seasons in Miami Vice. The safety can be applied when the weapon is cocked. Conversion kits allow conversion to .45 ACP. It was very difficult to obtain magazines -- many owners could only obtain one magazine for their pistol.

  • with a fixed firing pin and no trigger, these are about as simple as a cartridge weapon gets. Stats are for black powder ammunition, but some could probably handle smokeless powder ammunition. Using magnum ammunition, however, would make the gun dangerous and hard to handle. Versions for rifle and pistol ammunition also exist, but always have unrifled barrels. The malfunction number is for the best design; the most common malfunctions are a failure to fire, or difficulty in removing the empty shell from the weapon.

  • The KG-9, KG-99, TEC-9 are all similar to the TEC-9M (and there are a dozen other names); they have a polymer frame, which by the 22nd Century is getting brittle. These are typically pistols "workshop converted" to full-auto only, and were the "poster child" for cheap SMGs for street thugs in the 1980s. Malfunctions will typically be failures to feed or stovepipe jams; using +P ammunition or heavy bullets will damage the weapon. They don't have a shoulder stock.

  • A small select-fire submachinegun, first imported to the U.S. in 1984. Range when firing burst is 8 meters; one-handed burst, 5 meters -- the rate of fire is 1700 RPM. The skill used is Handgun or Full Auto. The most common fumble is firing off the whole magazine due to shock or surprise. Note that all 9mm Uzi weapons use the same magazines, which are also used by the 9mm versions of the AR-15 rifle. Magazines exist in 20 round (0.45 kg loaded), 25 round (0.5 kg loaded), 32 round (the most common, 0.62 kg loaded), 40 round, and 50 rounds; 72 round drum conversions (from Suomi magazines) existed, but are super-rare. Most of them in the United States before the Atomic War were conversions from semi-auto Uzi Pistols; actual military Micro Uzis are full auto only.

This rifle can use some accessories (bipod, silencer, etc.) for the M21 sniper weapon -- the telescopic sight of the M21 cannot be fitted to an M14 without altering the stripper clip guide and finding the correct mount. With M118 match grade ammunition this weapon has a range of 130 meters.

The buttpad is at the rear of the projectile magazine tube. When the lever is worked, one 50mm projectile moves forward into the barrel, and a .45-70 blank round is brought up and chambered behind the projectile. The fin-stabilized rounds weigh 0.5 kg each. Reloading the weapon requires two Major actions for each projectile inserted into the magazine, and a Minor action for each blank round inserted into the smaller magazine; working the lever is only a Minor action. Maximum range is 120 meters.

  • projectiles seen include smoke, explosive (with a time delay fuze) and shaped charge rounds which can penetrate 50 millimeters of steel armor. The shaped charge round must strike within about 20 degrees of "straight on" for the mechanical fuze to function.

Melee Weapons

 

     See the Haerth weapons list in general. Note that the maximum armor that can be penetrated by melee weapons is equal to their normal maximum damage (e.g., no Damage Bonus). Remember that the Armor Value of "soft armor" is halved against some weapons (typically, the pointy, impaling melee kind).
