They recently released three new weapons.VA1860IPVintage Arms continues to look at old weapons for inspiration, and the latestrelease is based on the old Colt 1860 Army revolver used in the American civilwar. Instead of railgun or laser, VA went with an ion based weapon, giving itdecent damage, although short range. To keep the shape of the 1860, theammunition cylinder is actually the power pack, which is removable. NewVA1860IPs come with 3 power packs, a charging station, holster with belt thatalso has two slots for the two extra power packs.Where the hammer used to be there is a digital ammunition counter. The handlehas inlaid wood, and the metal is given a weathered look to give it an evenmore retro look. Although brushed metal and chrome plated are also available.VA1860IP (Personal Firearms Proficiency PL6Damage: 4d4Critical: 20Damage Type: ElectricalRange Increment: 25 ftRate of Fire: SemiSize: MediumWeight: 3 lbAmmo: 50 boxPurchase DC: 19 Lic (+1)Notes: Cyborgs and robots struck must make a Fort save DC 15 or be stunned for1d4 rounds.[HR][/HR]VANeo-FergusonLAs Vintage Arms looks farther into the past for inspiration, they studied anumber of weapons and discovered the Ferguson rifle. The Ferguson rifle is anearly breech-loading rifle with limited use in the British military. Although theoriginal weapon had problems with the wood stock breaking from the oversizedbreech and drilling, the Neo-FergusonL is solidly built. Instead of aprojectile weapon, the Neo-FergusonL is a laser, with the only actual movingparts being the trigger and the hammer being turned into a primer for thecharge system. The power pack is top loaded into the stock, behind the fauxhammer. The faux hammer, when pulled back and up, is used in a similar manneras the leaver in the VA1895R, activating a charge system to increase the powerof the next shot, snapping down once the weapon is discharged. However thischanges the weapon's rate of fire to single shot until it is discharged. Thecharge system has a fixed amount, and with the built in safety systems, won'toverload if left charged for extended periods. If the charge safety isactivated (looks like a screw that holds the hammer that is pressed toactivate), the hammer can be lowered manually without discharging the weaponand deactivate the charge system. The weapon comes with a digital ammo countjust in front of the faux hammer, iron sights and a mount for ascope.VA Neo-FergusonL (PL6/7 Personal Firearms)Damage: 3d8 or 5d8 charged Critical: 20Damage Type: fireRange Increment: 85 ftRate of Fire: S, ASize: LargeWeight: 7.5 lbAmmo: 50 boxPurchase DC: 23 (Res +2)Notes: When the hammer action is used (a free action), the weapon's rate offire changes to single for one full round, and changes damage to 5d8immediately, and does not overload if left charged for long periods. If theysafety is engaged, the extra charge will automatically discharge, regardless ifthe hammer is lowered or not.[HR][/HR]VAM21I The VAM21I ismodeled on the Winchester Model 21 side by side shotgun, but instead of firingprojectiles, it is an ion weapon. Each barrel can fire independently,alternating barrels automatically with each shot to keep the barrels cool, orboth barrels can fire for a heavy punch. Alternatively, it can fire a wave ofenergy out to strike multiple targets at once, but with reduced range. Thisfeature is favoured for those fighting in tight spaces, such as urban combat,making it liked by police forces, although the lack of a stun feature is onedrawback the police forces using the VAM21I complain about. The VAM21I comeswith iron sights, digital ammo counters for two power packs that fit in theframe below and parallel with the barrels, and comes with shoulder strap forcarrying it easier. VAM21I (PL6 PersonalFirearms Proficiency)Damage: 5d4 or 7d4+2 dual barrelCritical: 20Damage Type: ElectricityRange Increment: 30 ft out to 5 incrementsRate of Fire: SemiSize: LargeWeight: 8 lbAmmo: 100 boxPurchase DC: 22 Res (+2)Wave Mode: As a freeaction, the VAM21I can be set to Wave mode, and fired as a standard attack oncea round, dealing 4d4+4 electrical damage to a 50 ft long 25 ft wide cone,Reflex save DC 17 for half damage, uses 4 shots.Notes: Cyborgs and robots struck must make a Fort save DC 15 or be stunned for1d4 rounds, switching between dual barrel, wave or back to single barrel firingis a free action that can be done once a round. Dual barrel uses 2 shots, waveuses 4 shots.</blockquote>
