TW-102-s ‘Peacemaker’ Pistol
[edit]
The ‘Peacemaker’ is the culmination of handgun technology dating back to before the long wars and the formation of the Federation. Capable of killing a man in a single shot and seriously injuring a bug, it is a Mobile Infantry trooper’s standard sidearm and arguably their most important possession next to their Morita rifle. There is talk of a TW-102-a with the ability for a controlled three-round burst, but field trials have failed to produced a version stable or dependable enough for general issue.
TW-109-e ‘Emancipator’ Heavy Pistol
[edit]
The ‘Emancipator’ is the big brother of the ever-popular ‘Peacemaker’ handgun. This weighty addition to the Brunham catalogue chambers the same 7.62mm munitions more commonly linked with the Morita Arms Company’s assault rifles. Despite its active suspensor and recoil suppression systems, the TW-109-e is not recommended for use by anyone not wearing some form of powered suit as the recoil generated by this weapon is capable of shattering bones. Attack roles made with an ‘Emancipator’ suffer a –2D+2 penalty if the user is not wearing either a M-1A4 or M-1C8 power suit.
TW-111-p ‘Reaper’ Pistol
[edit]
So-called because if it most often seen in the hands of black-clad Military Intelligence officers, the TW-111-p is a deadly handgun designed for armor penetration and concealment. It is generally accepted as fact that a ‘Reaper’ handgun only has eight shots that can be used in combat because Military Intelligence is ordered to save the last round for themselves.
