ORO War Horse ChainGun,

This heavy mini-gun unleashes a steady hail of deadly bullets. It takes a few seconds to spin up before firing or it can be pre-spun for instantaneous response using the Left Trigger. The War Horse has a Secondary function that converts it into a ground-mounted auto turret. This turret will provide covering fire and take out enemies with no input from the player.

ESUS Fireblade Flame Thrower,

The Fireblade causes short-range flame damage with a stream of deadly molten heat. Its Secondary function is a high-powered napalm grenade that can be launched long distances and burn enemies within its radius.

ORO HOG 9mm Handgun,

This pistol is accurate and powerful at close range and comes equipped with a Secondary burst-fire mode. It can be Dual Wielded.

ORO P23 Combat Knife,

This razor-sharp, carbon-plated combat knife allows Turok to move quickly and silently, eliminating opponents with a single quiet kill when he approaches them without being spotted. Expert users may even be able to attack from the front.

ORO L66 Pulse Rifle,

The L66 is an accurate, fully automatic pulse rifle that fires armor-piercing, depleted-uranium slugs. The weapon quickly overheats when fired in sustained bursts. Its secondary fire is a rapid-fire Disruption Grenade launcher. These grenades knock down the enemy or blow them out from under cover, so that you can get a clear shot at them.

ORO RedFist RPG,

This brutal rocket launcher can be fired in two different modes: a standard “dumb fire” mode or a special lock-on mode that provides “fire and forget” capability that hunts down the locked-on target and kills them.

ORO Enforcer Shotgun,

The Enforcer provides excellent stopping power with a wide blast radius. Its Secondary fire is a flare launcher that can be used to lure dinosaurs to attack enemies. It, too, can be Dual Wielded.

ORO FP9 SMG,
A standard automatic rifle that can be equipped with optional silencer for quiet kill capability. Like the HOG, it can be Dual Wielded.

TRIGLAV 92 Stalker (T92) Sniper Rifle

This high-powered rifle is extremely accurate from long range and includes a scope for picking off targets at extreme distances. Its Secondary function provides a selection of zoom ranges, from 2x to 10x.

This small caliber one-handed pistol has excellent accuracy at all distances in primary fire mode. The primary mode shoots individual bullets with a zero blast radius and medium shot power. The ammo cartridges are small, so frequent reloading is required. Due to the small size of the cartridges, you can carry a large amount of spare ammunition. Alt-fire mode is rapid but less accurate and uses ammunition much more quickly than the primary mode.

MagCannon,
This weapon uses energy cells to shoot concentrated projectiles of magnesium. The two modes of fire utilize the same energy source, but have very different effects. The primary mode shoots projectiles at a medium rate of fire and is highly accurate up to medium range. The shot power is medium and the blast radius is small. This mode of fire is useful in combat situations against large numbers of mid to small-range opponents. The weapon allows for an average amount of shots before reloading. The alt-fire mode creates an extremely powerful projectile with a large blast radius. In this mode the weapon utilizes a significant portion of the internal energy cell for one shot. It is slow to fire and is best used against slow moving opponents, to pierce armor or break objects. The range of the alt-fire is considerably greater than that of the primary mode of attack

M74 Bloodhound,
This shoulder-mounted rocket launcher has two unique modes of fire. The primary mode fires rockets that are effective at long range, cause high damage and have a high blast radius. The Bloodhound can only hold a small number of rockets, so you'll want to conserve ammunition and use it only against the toughest opponents. Alt-fire mode launches a guided rocket that you can aim as it flies toward its target.

GearMaster,
This double-barreled shotgun is extremely effective at close range. It shoots multiple pellets that spread out quickly, so its effectiveness at medium distances is limited, and at long range it is essentially useless. It has a zero blast radius, so you will not incur damage by using it at close range. This weapon reloads relatively slowly, so it is important to shoot accurately and to have room to maneuver after each shot. The Gearmaster carries a medium amount of ammunition. Alt-fire mode shoots both barrels, employing twice as many pellets for twice the damage at close range

KrossBow,
This weapon shoots energy projectiles that penetrate an opponent or armor and detonates immediately. The projectiles fly at a medium-fast rate of fire and have a medium blast radius. This weapon holds a medium amount of ammunition, and requires frequent reloading. The KrossBow is extremely accurate at short to medium distances, but it will deteriorate in accuracy at greater distances. The KrossBow's alt-fire mode is as a sniper weapon. Its zoom lens allows you to target opponents from medium range

Shotgun,
This weapon delivers a powerful blast that is most effective in close-quarters battle and lethal at point-blank range. Although the weapon has a slower firing speed than most infantry weapons, it reloads faster than most due to its quick-loading charges. Designed to utilize the MK2 Electro-magnetic jacketing system, each 20-gauge slug (filled with titanium bearings) is coated in a harmonically tuned electromagnetic field, which wreaks havoc with military and civilian-class personal shielding

Mossberg 590 shotgun (part #50665) - 20" barrel, heat shield, parkerized. Beautiful brute force. Considering getting it a bayonet

Kimber 1911 Compact in black steel. 4" barrel. I love it. Comfortable to wear (especially in a Milt Sparks Watch Six Dual Talon holster). I have a target hanging on my living room wall with a 3" group of 6 rounds shot at 25 yards, standing, unsupported. My best so far. I've been told it would do about 2" groups at 25 yards in a ransom rest.
and the piece of paper on the wall over there, shot at 25y, has 6 holes in a 3" group fired from it
<|BigBob> heh
<|BigBob> cool
offhand?
standing
I dunno what you call it
holding it, otherwise unsupported
yes
damn
I wish I could do that

Kel-Tec P32 in black. Very cute. Half the weight of its closest competitor. It's most annoying characteristic is that its ammo is semi-rimmed, which means you can get a rimlock jam, which takes about 3 hands to clear.
This company has a respectable following in the form of the Kel-Tec Owners Group.

An SLR95, which is a Bulgarian copy of an AK-47 With a milled reciever, Steyr barrel, and sporterized stock. I hope to get groups about 3.5" in diameter at 100 yards.
My reasons for preferring the AK-47 over other assault rifles is well summarized in this comment by one who prefers ARs (like the m16):
sure, the AR will jam if you pack it full of dirt.. but it has a better system for keeping dirt out, more user friendly, etc. etc.... and AK's are for 3rd world hacks who clean their rifles with goat piss
...but, you can pack it full of mud and it won't jam.
I've been having quite an ordeal trying to obtain an SLR95.

The BFG-50.. long range anti-material rifle.

The AK-47 is a selective fire, gas operated 7.62mm assault rifle developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. Six decades later, the AK-47 and its variants and derivatives remain in service throughout the world. It has been manufactured in many countries and has seen service with regular armed forces as well as irregular, revolutionary and terrorist organizations worldwide.

The AK-103 is a modern, Russian-designed version of the famous AKM assault rifle, chambered for the 7.62x39mm M43 round. It combines the AKM design with developments from the AK-74 and AK-74M, with the use of plastics to replace metal or wooden components wherever possible to reduce overall weight. The AK-103 can be fitted with a variety of sights, including laser, night vision, and telescopic sights, plus a suppressor and the GP-30 grenade launcher.

Handloading...The Wandering Narrative Part I
A dark tunnel runs east and west. There is a small brass lantern here...
Firearm enthusiasts are a hands-on bunch; always expanding areas of interest and always in search of firearms knowledge. Shooting and firearms are more fun when it's possible to modify and tailor the function of a firearm to suit personal preferences. Handloading offers more of the same, which is probably why so many people who work on their own firearms also handload their own ammunition.
Handloading can yield improvements in accuracy that rival the results of firearm blueprinting. Handloading can be a money saver and, for those with a commercial inclination, handloading can be a money maker. Handloads can also be assemble into a unique combination of components not available from any other source.
While detailed information will follow in subsequent installments, Part I does not contain step by step handloading instructions or a definitive list of the best handloading equipment. It contains general information...a perspective on handloading gleaned from years of mistakes, missteps and minor victories on the way to assembling safe and sometimes useful ammunition.

Oldies but Goodies,
The most obvious opportunity to enhance cartridge performance is in handloading cartridges with origins dating back to the late 1800's to early 1900's. Some began life as low pressure black powder cartridges, others as low pressure smokeless cartridges, almost all were produced when firearm and cartridge case designs were less robust and material strength was inferior to the materials of today. Two of the most well known cartridges that fall into this category are the .45-70 Government and the .45 Colt.
In conjunction with specific strong firearms, and supported with detailed guidance from mainstream handloading manuals, these cartridges can perform impressively. A .45-70 Gov't 350 grain round, safely loaded for an original Trapdoor Springfield, tops out at approximately 1,700 fps. Loaded for use in rifles such as the Ruger No.1, the same bullet can be pushed to 2,100+ fps. The .45 Colt, loaded for the Colt Single Action Army design is limited to approximately 875 fps with a 250 grain jacketed bullet. The same bullet, loaded for the Ruger Blackhawk and similar can safely attain 1,200+ fps of muzzle velocity. While I do maintain my own handload data, mostly a crumpled up piece of paper tucked away in back pocket, these performance references were taken from the Speer #14 handloading manual. Very similar data can be found in manuals from Sierra, Hornady, Nosler, etc.

New Kids on the Block -
Newer cartridges present a different challenge as it is tough to meet, much less improve upon, the standard muzzle velocity of more recently introduced cartridges. They are loaded to high peak pressure and often with proprietary powder types. (L-R 375 Ruger, 338 RCM and 270 WSM). Significant improvements are still to be had, they just come in forms other than shoveling in more powder. The table below illustrates the effects of using bullets of different ballistic coefficient ratings.

Range - yds. 0 100 200 300

Path - in. -1.5 1.5 0.0 -6.9
Sierra .308 180 Grain Match King 3000 fps. BC 0.475

Range - yds. 0 100 200 300
Velocity - ft./sec. 3000 2800 2608 2425
Energy - ft.-lbs. 3597 3133 2719 2350
Path - in. -1.5 1.5 -0.0 -6.6

Special Effects -
Personally, I like to select bullets that will say something about ME, which is why I place such a heavy emphasis on bullet aesthetics. If you insist on being all...ballistic about the issue, there are bullets that are made to go fast, which means reduced time in flight, which means flatter trajectory, which means higher terminal kinetic energy. The same bullets will even safely give a muzzle velocity boost to our friends, the modern high intensity cartridge.
On the left, a GS Custom bullet above a more traditional shank Speer product. The GS shank is approximately bore or land diameter while the narrow driving bands are approximately groove diameter. The driving bands offer so little resistance to being formed by rifling, and there is so much less bore friction, start pressure is dramatically reduced and less pressure is required to keep the bullet traveling down the length of a barrel. Loaded to potential, the initial pressure spike is much lower, while the average pressure to follow is higher and more persistent then would be expected with a more traditional bullet design. While not the answer for all applications, GS Custom bullets are usually good for an extra 75 - 100 fps in muzzle velocity over conventional bullets. This is not to disparage Speer's or any other company's designs. Bullet selection is very application specific and there are lots of applications and lots of types of bullets.
