Colt Python

Model: Colt Python .357
Type: Hand gun
Scale: Character
Skill: Firearms: pistol
Ammo: 6
Cost: Varies greatly
Fire Rate: 1
Damage: 6D+2

The Colt Python is a powerful handgun made powerful by poachers, criminals, etc. Its .357 magnum caliber bullets can pierce through armored target easily, or blow a rather nasty hole in a unarmored target. For their size, they are well worth the trouble of constant reloading. They are about the size of heavy blaster pistols, and cause much greater damage.

 

IPF Issue Sidearm

Model: Iotran Police Force Issue Slugthrower Pistol
Type: Standard issue Iotran slugthrower pistol
Scale: Character
Skill: Firearms: pistol
Ammo: 12
Cost: 730
credits (clips: 25)
Availabilty: 3, X
Range: 3-10/30/60
Damage: 4D

This is the standard weapon used by Iotran Braceman, the most feared law enforcement officers of the Iotran Police Force (IPF). The Iotran Bracemen Council is an elite corps of special agents assigned the duty of tracking down criminals outside of Iotran patrolled space. Bracemen are tireless hunters, needing a weapon capable of standing up to any rugged conditions that it may face. The standard IPF issue firearm is a powerful weapon and is one of the quietest firearms ever created (as quiet as a firearm can reasonably be without a silencer).

The P14 is the first pistol in a series 3 (others including the P14, P15, and the P16) made from Para-Ordnance, a new rival with the famous Mestic Munitions company. The pistol is high-quality and reliable, and features a new system that allows the feel of firing a revolver, perfect for first time auto pistol users. The P15 and P16 pistols are soon to be available on the market, and Para-Ordnance promises these new pistols to be excellent quality.

It is the perfect weapon for raids into hostile structures (starships, bunkers, vehicles, etc) or assassinations.

A number of the weapons were sold to the New Republic's Palvar SecForce for distribution to their SpecForce Infiltrators and other covert teams. Overall sales of the Puma 520 haven't been all that high.

Punisher 10mm

Availabilty: 3, R
Range: 1-7/25/50

Mestic Munitions' Punisher model handgun was originally developed by custom order for several hitmen in various local crime syndicates. After a few years of street use, the orders for new Punishers increased dramatically until Mestic finally put the design into mass production and placed it on the open market, lowering the price from 700 credits down to 500 credits in the process. The new Punishers come standard with a removable silencer, one of the main traits that made it popular in the first place.

The Viper XP is a smaller slugthrower that has been issued as a standard sidearm to Mestic Munitions' security forces and sold in limited numbers on the open market as a cheaper and more powerful alternative to such popular blasters as BlasTech's DL-18.

The Viper XP comes ready to fit a silencer, but does not come standard with it like the Punisher 10mm. For a small additional fee (50 credits), Mestic includes it's universal pistol silencer and a pair of extra clips.

Wolverine Assault Pistol

Model: Mestic Munitions Wolverine Assault Pistol .45ACP
Type: Slugthrower pistol
Scale: Character
Skill: Firearms: heavy pistol
Ammo: 12
Cost: 695 credits (clips: 25)
Availability: 3, R or X
Range: 1-8/30/95
Fire Rate: 2
Damage: 4D+2

Mestic Munitions' Wolverine assault pistol was designed as a heavy pistol with longer range than most standard Mestic hand-held firearms to date. Unlike all of the other pistols designed and manufactured by Mestic Munitions, the Wolverine's clip is not loaded into the handle, but it is locked into the gun just in front of the trigger. This created a slight problem that Mestic designers overlooked... it would not fit in any standard holsters. Instead of simple designing a new holster for the weapon, Mestic opted to go ahead and sell the weapon at discount to rid the massive piles that they had already created at discounted prices.
