[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 3050577, member: 6390"] OK, I was sitting down last night and playing with the weapons from my Nova Wars campaign, and figured it might be time to place some here. If you remember, Nova Wars is more Space Opera than gritty realism, so the science is more gobbledygook than anything realistic. Having said that: Enjoy. [b]Krevak M-68 Sniper Rifle[/b] The Krevak M-68 Sniper Rifle is the standard sniper rifle used by the Confederate Marine Corps. Having passed over two decades of hard usage in nearly every environment, the M-68 has managed to slip over to the civilian side via "Colony Protective Weaponry" legislation. A linear accellerator that uses "spun" electrons to bring a slug of metal up to almost .7C, the M-68's munition liberates most of it's kinetic energy in a tight cone in order to penetrate armor and put down the enemy in a single shot. With the patented Krevak "Shiv" scope, which first identifies the armor being worn by the enemy, and then alerts the operator to weaknesses in the armor, devestating hits are only a trigger pull away.

[b]Close Quarters Combat Lance[/b] Based on the variable density baton used by most Confederate law enforcement agencies, the CQCL is carried by the majority of Confederate armed forces for up close and dirty fighting in urban territory. During the search for a usable melee combat weapon to arm the Confederate military with, most companies attempted to make one weapon that performed a multitude of functions. However, Baize Industries offered up a single usage, simple weapon that was easy to maintain, easy to train on, and performed admirably under all of the required atmospheres and stress tests. The CQCL is a simple 18" baton that can be used in close quarters as a blundgeoning device. However, with the turn of the wrist it extends outward and becomes enclosed by a light duty forcefield. In this position it is 6' long, and can be used with one or both hands for use as a combat staff or as a lever to pry at wreckage/obstacles.
