Bows

Warbow

An immense bow in an ancient style. Made of whale­bone, osage, or black locust and sur­pass­ing 70 Kg in draw weight. Only skilled archers may make full use of them: A Shoot: Bow skill of 6 or more grants a war­bow +1 dam­age.

Gunsprings

Autoload­ing fléchette throw­ers. With a loaded mag­a­zine and a charged main­coil, they may shoot with­out pause until emp­ty. Stan­dard mag­a­zine size is 6 shots. Stan­dard coil charge is 6, to match. High­er capac­i­ties for each are avail­able, but expen­sive.

Baffled Gunsprings

Inter­nal baf­fles that sup­press the weapon’s report. 

Formosa Murcielaga (Cimarrona)

The mat­te-black Mur­ciela­ga presents a com­pressed, elon­gat­ed pro­file. Flat, to lay incon­spic­u­ous under a jack­et. Lus­ter­less, so as not to gleam in the moon­light.

Eventine Takedown Mk.II (Firlish)

Skele­tonized and flat. Bland, mat­te gray paint. Dis­as­sem­bles into small, non­de­script com­po­nents using no screws or pins. Trans­par­ent­ly designed for assas­sins.

pistolette

Unless spec­i­fied, all pis­to­lettes have a capac­i­ty of 7.

Sterling g12 “Nutcracker” (Firlish)

An aging mod­el once issued in pairs to cav­al­ry offi­cers. Dubbed “Nut­crack­er,” for its long, unpleas­ant­ly crunchy lever-action stroke. A com­mon mil­i­tary sur­plus item.

Service gunspring

All ser­vice gun­springs are base mod­el and pos­sess bay­o­net lugs, unless spec­i­fied. They are meant for 6-shot coils and 6-shot mag­a­zines, by default, but can accept larg­er ones.

Formosa E2 (Cimarrona)

The lengthy E2 (e-dos) is built entire­ly from stamped, pressed oxide black steel. Its sur­faces are ribbed for strength, and all its spring hous­ings are sim­i­lar cor­ru­gat­ed. An incon­gru­ous hump pro­trudes from the receiv­er, hous­ing del­i­cate opti­cal glass and lumi­nous gold­en crosshairs: An inte­gral reflex sight. Optic: no attack roll penal­ty in 2nd range incre­ment (80 meters.) 

Guillotine Petronel (Belvirinian)

Adalace Guillotine’s orig­i­nal autoloader, still pro­duced by the epony­mous Guil­lo­tine GMB (Guilde des Machin­istes Belviriniens.) A rather démodé design—with its short pec­toral stock, com­pact rails, and no bay­o­net lug—but it bears the hall­marks of 100 years’ refine­ment. Ignores first wear roll if recent­ly oiled.

LMW Sturmcaliver (Lothrheimer)

Lothrre­ich Maschinew­erke (LMW) built the Sturm­caliv­er for close-quar­ters com­bat. The weapon—all extrud­ed steel and rich nitride finish—boasts an 80 cm beveled spile intend­ed as a mas­sive bay­o­net and point-guide for instinc­tive shoot­ing. Spile: as epee bay­o­net. Quick-release lug allows embed­ded bay­o­net to be released in tar­get (free action.) 

Manon Mk.III (Leelandic)

A civil­ian mod­el, man­u­fac­tured in Mod­deroi. Intend­ed for sports­men, but noto­ri­ous for its whole­sale dis­tri­b­u­tion to Firl­ish mob­sters. Light­weight, pre­sent­ing more wood­en fur­ni­ture than vis­i­ble steel. The wood is nitro-lac­quered red maple. The steel is gar­nished with con­trols heat-treat­ed to taste­ful corn­flower blue and straw-gold. No bay­o­net lug. Floats on water.

Sterling G45 “Andiron” (Firlish)

Firlund’s ser­vice weapon. A rec­tan­gu­lar shroud enclos­es the weapon from stock to muz­zle, pre­sent­ing a bru­tal­ist sil­hou­ette. It’s adorned by a sight­ing rib and a straight fore­grip, both knurled. The grip is detach­able, has a T–shaped base, and is loved amongst ser­vice­men for its util­i­ty in arrang­ing camp­fires. Fore­grip.

pistol gunspring

All pis­tol gun­springs are meant for 6-shot coils and 6-shot mag­a­zines, by default, but can accept larg­er ones.

Bernini Silhouette (Mapolitan)

A tar­get pis­tol, nonethe­less dead­ly. Hand­some blue steel. Per­haps inge­nious­ly, the design­ers at Berni­ni placed the Sil­hou­et­te’s coil direct­ly under the mouth of the bar­rel, intend­ing it to serve dual pur­pose as a coun­ter­weight. A wise design for a par­lor sharp­shoot­er, but a risky ori­en­ta­tion for fight­ing.
+10 effec­tive range. Hits to the wield­er’s hand have a 2-in-6 chance of burst­ing the pis­tol’s coil.

Richter & Darling Model 40 “Warspite”(Firlish)

Long offered to Firl­ish offi­cers as a ser­vice pis­tol upgrade. Steely and pointable as a duel­ing sword, with a bird’s-head grip sug­gest­ing the hook of a state­ly cane. These noble pre­tens­es belie the War­spite’s prac­ti­cal­i­ty: Each pis­tol comes with a boiled leather scab­bard that slots into the grip, mak­ing a redoubtable stock.
Attach­able stock (3 actions in per­il) grants +10 m range and requires 2 hands.

Guillotine chasseur R (Emperoussin)

These grey steel hand­guns were recalled and retooled six years after issue and rein­forced to pre­vent their coils spon­ta­neous­ly burst­ing. These are stamped with an “R” over the breech (for retra­vail­lé,) just below the roy­al hon­ey­bee icon mark­ing them prop­er­ty of the Emper­oussin Domin­ion. They are ade­quate mil­i­tary sidearms and remain in the hol­sters of Domin­ion forces today. Many have reached the civil­ian mar­ket, includ­ing thou­sands not yet mod­i­fied.
Non-R exam­ples may explode when jammed (1-in-4.)

LMW Selbstlader 3.446 (Lothrheimer)

A new mod­el rushed into ser­vice in antic­i­pa­tion of the Lothr-Belvirine Pro­hi­bi­tion War. Its clamshell hous­ing of stamped steel is fin­ished in soft nitride, and its utter­ly flat muz­zle allows it to be set face-down like a sta­ple gun. A clever through-frame design per­mits a dis­charged coil to be eject­ed as a fresh one is pushed into place.
-1 action required to ful­ly reload.

Manon 150CA “Briquet” (Leelandic)

Charge­ment Automa­tique 150. Ele­gant. First pis­tol to feed dis­card­ing-sabot fléchettes. Its action expos­es the wood­pulp sabot seg­ments to extreme friction—they eject smok­ing, smol­der­ing suf­fi­cient­ly to light a cig­a­rette, earn­ing the 150CA its sobri­quet. Retired in 4.430 fol­low­ing brief ser­vice in the sec­ond Nut­meg War, deemed a fire haz­ard.
Dou­bles as a lighter when shot.

Sterling G47 “Granger” (Firlish)

The first Firl­ish pis­tol not intend­ed for cav­al­ry­men. Stout, blocky, with a ludi­crous­ly high sight axis. Man­u­fac­tured in the heart of Fir­lund’s Black Coun­ty, it is an icon of iron. An idol of indus­tri­al war beloved by Army offi­cers and Ster­lin­gite gang­sters both.
Counts as a cosh.

Subcompact

A tiny gun­spring with an inte­gral coil and 6-shot mag­a­zine. Made for con­ceal­ment and for use by mice. Must be charged at a lever mill in order to shoot.  

Pepperbox

A grip and four spring loaded rail-bar­rels. Requires a wind spoon to recharge each bar­rel, which takes some time.

artillery

Heavy weapons with spe­cial­ized intent.

bollester

Or pétan­quer. A bulky launch­er that projects har­row­ing steel balls (boules.) Its resiz­able shot cup can be dialed-in to fit most spher­i­cal projectiles—including any round grenade.

• Spe­cial: When shoot­ing boules: Wounds inflict­ed by boules always cause stag­ger on a failed For­ti­tude roll to resist wounds. If the wound already inflict­ed stag­ger, it is not changed.
• Spe­cial: When shoot­ing grenades: On a miss, deter­mine scat­ter as per Thrown skill.

rocket gun

A steel tube with car­ry han­dle, aper­ture sight, rub­ber­ized grip, bipod, and asbestos padding around the mid­sec­tion. Fires 60 mm sabot­ed rock­ets. Attack­ing man-sized/s­mall­er tar­gets incurs -2 to hit. When fired stand­ing, the shoot­er is stag­gered. All with­in 3 m behind the shoot­er suf­fer 2 Burn stress + stag­ger from back­blast.

The rock­et inflicts 2d6+2 P. The tar­get and all with­in 2 m suf­fer the effect of a stick grenade det­o­na­tion’s out­er radius.

Snipe spring

A marksman’s weapon. A lengthy, rec­tan­gu­lar rail bar­rel flanked by pro­tract­ed dri­ve springs shroud­ed in steel. A huge, thrum­ming artillery coil lies nes­tled in the heavy stock. Oper­ates much like a muni­tions gun­spring, but at a slow­er rate of fire; the huge dri­ve springs take a moment to charge between shots.

Volley Spring

Two rec­i­p­ro­cat­ing heavy gun­spring mech­a­nisms rigged side-by-side, built to shoot in tan­dem. Shoots twice per attack, with the sec­ond suf­fer­ing -2 to hit. When shot prone, the weapon uses Shoot: Lon­garm. When stand­ing, it requires shoot: Stron­garm.

Ster­ling L40 “Thun­der­head” (Firl­ish)

A sub­stan­tial cast-iron frame with snub nose and hump­like alu­minum dust-cov­er, invari­ably dent­ed. With­in the hump, unsta­bi­lized dri­ve-springs rum­ble and crash with the slight­est jos­tle, boom­ing like cheap oper­a­house thun­der. Stealth is impos­si­ble while car­ry­ing the Thun­der­head.

Ide­na heraldika Mod. 23 (Kallachi­an)

Mis­tak­able for four organ-pipes laid lat­er­al­ly. Elon­gat­ed, tubu­lar, and brassy. The Mod­el 23’s “long-stroke” launch springs race back along the gun when loosed, pro­duc­ing a star­tling thump of iner­tia. When shot stand­ing up, push­es the wield­er 1 m back.

LANCES

Designed for mon­sters and large game. Lances are mighty, but mas­sive, expen­sive, and slow. Every shot dis­charges a spring-loaded pneu­mat­ic shell con­tain­ing a sabot-loaded pres­sure cham­ber over a pis­ton and odite coil­spring. These shells are large cylinders—exceeding 200 mm—and their pow­er­plant springs rival the dual dri­vesprings of autoload­ers. The pneu­mat­ic action is vio­lent, com­bust­ing lubri­cants and sealant used to seat the sabot, accom­pa­ny­ing each shot with an acrid white plume. Spent shells are recharge­able and re-load­able for a shilling at any lever mill.

Harpoon lance

For sub­ju­gat­ing cachalots. 

Linecast­er: A spool of cable on a self-ten­sion­ing winch. Con­nects to the lance’s har­poon. Comes with a procurved hook under the barrel—useful for con­nect­ing a speared ani­mal to a gun­wale or to the gunner’s elbow. 

Crea­tures impaled by the har­poon are grap­pled as if the har­poon were a melee weapon held by the gun­ner. They are con­nect­ed to the gun/gunner, and can­not move away with­out drag­ging them or stress­ing the line. 

Hunting Lance

A gleam­ing meter of steel on a bur­nished stock. The heavy bolt action and mag­a­zine are one with the wood­en fur­ni­ture. When cycled, spent shells slide from the stock like the drop­pings of a mechan­i­cal preda­tor.

Hunting Lance, superposed

An ele­gant instru­ment. Two heavy rail-bar­rels stacked on a stiff lac­quered stock. The weapon breaks in half, per­mit­ting the shoot­er pluck out the smok­ing spent hulls and insert a fresh pair.

Big Game Lance

A four-foot bar­rel couched in baf­fled shrouds. A shock-absorbent hard­wood stock and rub­ber butt. A method­i­cal breach-action engraved with hunt­ing scenes. One shot. Dev­as­tat­ing; sur­pris­ing­ly qui­et.

thrown

Grenades and throw­ing blades use the Throw skill.

Coilbomb

Coroner’s bomb

Throwing Knife

apple grenade

A hefty cast iron ball, deeply seg­ment­ed, coat­ed in green glass. A “stem” emerges from the end. Pushed down, it reveals an arm­ing loop (1 action to arm.) A suc­cess­ful Throw roll is required to land a thrown hand grenade in a tar­get square.

Once armed, it det­o­nates on the next turn or the turn there­after. A grenade det­o­na­tion has an 6-meter radius. This radius is effec­tive even around cor­ners. Tar­gets in:

• the inner 5 m suf­fer d4 + 3P dam­age to 4 body areas & are thrown 4 - [their speed penal­ty] meters unless they dodge suc­cess­ful­ly.
• the out­er 5 m take d4 + 2B dam­age to 2 body areas & must roll Agili­ty -2 to resist knock­down.

To dodge the det­o­na­tion: -1 per square tra­versed in escape.

Stick Grenade

A cylin­dri­cal war­head packed with sta­bi­lized nitro­glyc­erin with a long haft for throw­ing. Pull the rip cord with an action to arm. A suc­cess­ful Throw roll is required to land a thrown hand grenade in a tar­get square. 

Once armed, it det­o­nates on your next turn or the turn after. A grenade det­o­na­tion has a 4-square radius. Tar­gets in:

• the inner 2 m suf­fer d4+3B dam­age to 4 body areas & are thrown 4 - [their speed penal­ty] m unless they dodge suc­cess­ful­ly.
• the out­er 2 m take d4+2B dam­age to 2 body areas & must roll Agili­ty -2 to resist knock­down & must roll Agili­ty -2 to resist knock­down.

To dodge the det­o­na­tion: -1 per square tra­versed in escape.

firebomb

Flashbomb

Det­o­na­tion caus­es a blind­ing blue-white flash with a radius of 4 squares. Tar­gets whose front or side arcs occu­py the radius are stunned for 1 action and must roll For­ti­tude minus 3. If they fail, they are blind­ed until they roll to recov­er at -2 (1 roll/turn.)

Mucilage Bomb

Phosphor Bomb

If you enter or start your turn in the vapor, roll For­ti­tude as if to resist wounds. If you suc­ceed you suf­fer 1 Burn stress. If you fail you suf­fer 2 Burn stress. If you fail twice in a row, you are blind­ed until all your Burn stress heals.

vacuum Bomb
