d20 Modern Handguns (Updated)

[Trainz]

Thanks a lot guys, but I only wanted to illustrate the weapons in the book. These weapons are quite enough for me.

Feel free to grab the torch and do it though !

one thing about the Steyr Aug is that its extremly versitile.
it can fire like and smg (uses 9mm round), an assault rifle (5.56) or a machine gun ( exact caliber unknown to me).

 

[Fellwind]

That sounds a bunch like the Stoner weapons system. Here's some basic info http://www.mst2-vietnam.info/Stoner_ordnance_notes/STONER_63-63A.htm

Basically its a cousin to the M16 that can be configured as a carbine, rifle or LMG. It can be configured for magazine feed or belt feed.

Here's a more modern version, civillian though, http://www.impactguns.com/store/m96sub.html

or a machine gun ( exact caliber unknown to me).

9mm (SMG); 5.56 mm (Carbine, Assault Rifle, and MG).

no 762 for the aug?

I could have sworn they had a light machine gun model using 762x38, have to check up on it and get back with you.
Also if anyone wants to check out a cool site pertaining to firearms try www.gunbroker.com alot of the people selling there have included pics, and it also gives you a good idea of what guns sell for these days.

While there are 9mm conversion kits for the AUG, they have a very bad reputation, and only number in the few hundreds. They're prized for their rarity, not their usefulness. The AUGs that Steyr makes in 9mm are supposed to be pretty reliable, though they aren't very popular compared to the MP5. Though a scoped SMG with a 16" barrel does have its uses....

As for a 7.62mm, I've never seen a mention of it, though I wouldn't be suprised if Steyr hadn't made at least one protoype for one of the many NATO LMG competitions. However, the production automatic rifle version of the AUG, the AUG HBAR, is 5.56mm. Relevant photo at http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg21-e.htm (which is a site that'd be of interest to everyone following this thread).

One important thing to remember for game purposes (at least in campaigns currently set in the US) is that only a few were imported into the US before the assault weapons ban in the early 90s, and Steyr has shown no interest in retooling for the civilian market. As a result, AUGs go for thousands nowdays. So unless your pc's are members of law enforcement or the military, a legal AUG will be costly.

Note that I dont agree with the ranges given for weapons in the d20M book, but I kept these ranges in scale with those.

Don't know if anyone said this already, but what you have as the G3 is actually the G36. The G3 is this.

 

[Mistwell]

How about the Benelli 12-gauge Shotgun?

 

[Trainz]

Thanks for the heads-up guys, but I won't make those mods to my templates. Feel free to take them and edit them to your campaign's needs.

I won't be using the Benelli in my campaigns, and I find the G36 picture cooler than the G3. They probably have the same stats anyways.

Any plans to do something similiar with armor? I'm wondering what the difference is between the special response vest and the forced entryt unit armor is. It sounds like just the addition of a helmet.
