Pistol Class

Genevec - 108 Super Derringer Pistol:
Another new weapon concept: an MD capable derringer. This hide-away pistol holds two, and only two, shots. One charge is a deadly SDC blast. The other charge is a lethal MD blast. The weapon can be charged from a normal E-clip. (Author's note: Yes, this was designed before any such weapons were introduced in the books.)

Weight: 8 oz. (0.23 kg) MD: 1D4 SDC: 2D4x10 ROF: Single Range: 40 feet (12 m) Payload: One SDC and one MD blast Cost: 4,000 credits

Genevec - 117 Heavy Particle Beam Pistol:
This weapon is designed as a very heavy personal sidearm. It is among the most powerful pistols offered on the market.

(Author's note: The Micro-Rocket weapons below were also designed before similar weapons were introduced in the South America World Book. Special thanks go to Erik DeBill for the initial inspiration for these weapons.)

Genevec - 159 Micro-Rocket Assault Pistol:
This is the smallest weapon currently produced in the micro-rocket family of firearms. The G - 159 fires the same type of ammunition as its larger brothers, yet it is the size of a conventional pistol.

SMG Class

Genevec - 225 Light Assault Laser Weapon (LALW):
This is a new class of weapon: an MD capable sub-machine gun. It is small enough and light enough to fire easily with one hand, yet it offers comparable damage to an assault rifle. It is easily concealed and looks very much like a conventional sub-machine gun.

Assault Rifle Class

Genevec - 313 General Purpose Assault Rifle:
The G - 313 is the standard assault rifle produced by Genevec Enterprises. It is also one of the premier assault rifles offered on the market, quickly gaining in popularity on the C-12 Heavy Assault Laser Rifle. It has virtually the same damage capability as the C-12 at roughly the same price. However, the G - 313 also offers an integral grenade launcher and computerized laser targeting system.

Heavy Weapon Class

Genevec - 432 Heavy Squad Support Multi-Weapon:
The G - 432 is designed to provide devastating fire-support on any battlefield. With its heavy assault laser, grenade launcher, and plasma weapon, it can do just that. The main drawback of the weapon is that it is so heavy that it requires a PS of at least 24 to use it effectively. Only one weapon may be fired at a time.

Genevec - 462 Micro-Rocket Minigun Support Weapon:
This weapon is a descendant of an experimental Pre-Rifts weapon design that was unearthed. The original design was meant to be vehicle mounted, however this reincarnation is designed so that it can be man-portable. The weapon fires 'micro-rockets' which are, literally, rockets that are only slightly larger than conventional bullets. The rocket motor gives the round good range and accuracy because it imparts a flat trajectory, unlike conventional bullets which travel in an arc. The warhead consists of a very potent explosive which is triggered on impact. A very high rate of fire, combined with its range, accuracy and explosive rounds gives this weapon exceptional damage potential. This weapon can use boxed ammunition, single belts or a special backpack which carries three linked belts. A PS of 24 or higher is required to effectively use the weapon.

Weight: Gun: 40 lbs (18.1 kg)      Ammo Box: 8 lbs (3.6 kg)      Ammo Belt: 15 lbs (6.8 kg)      Ammo Backpack: 60 lbs (27.3 kg) MD: 6D6 (1' blast radius), 1D6x10 (2.5'), 2D6x10 (5'), 3D6x10 (8'), 6D6x10 (12') ROF: 1, 3, 9, 15, or 50 rounds(2 actions) Range: 6000 feet (1800 m) Payload: 50 round box, 100 round belt, or 300 round backpack unit Note: Laser Targeting sight gives a +1 to strike Cost: 150,000 credits for the gun, 1,000 credits per 50 rounds, 4,000 credits for the backpack unit.
