Modern Updates for Shadowrun

I have found there are some weapons that players just want to have. Here are a few I have brought up to the Shadowrun world, now converted to CP2020. Enjoy!

Desert Eagle III

One of the players in my campaign asked if his character could have a Desert Eagle. He wanted to have it and was willing to take it just for the fun of saying he had one, regardless of the stats.

So, to encourage the role playing he was attempting to do, I worked out one for him. Here is what I came up with for him:

Return of a Classic

The Israeli military complex is still putting out quality firearms for export. Here we have the latest release of the Desert Eagle heavy pistol. This return of a classic, with new features and the same classic lines, is available in both cased and caseless ammo.

First seen in the hands of the IDF special forces, it has been dubbed the Eagle III by the IDF. Models that are available here in the UCAS come with an intregal laser sight (Desert Eagle IIIz) or a smartgun option (Desert Eagle IIIs). Finishes are; Matte Black, Brushed Chrome, Polished Chrome, or Blued Steel.

The Desert Eagle III series can be purchased chambered in .357 Magnum (+1 ammo), .44 Magnum and .50AE (-1 ammo).

The Colt "Vermin" Derringer

In 2052 Colt decided that a solid backup using a larger bore ammo was in need. They released a derringer style hold out called the Vermin. Because of the power and the build of this weapon it went on to become quite a popular back up weapon.

The Vermin utilized a design that is over 150 years old. They combined the old design with modern ceramic composites to create a powerful and sturdy weapon. The Vermin was modified to use the heavy handgun caseless ammo and can fire both of the barrels one after the other. The Vermin uses an electric firing mechanism with the battery stored in the hand grip to ignite the caseless ammo.

[Game Notes: The Vermin can not use under barrel or barrel mounted accessories. ]

Colt 2011 Automatic Pistol

In 2021 Colt released the latest incarnation of it's 1911 Automatic Pistol as part of a 100 year celebration. The outward visual of the pistol had the same lines as the 1911. The only functional difference was a conversion to the caseless ammo. Colt even designed the hammer to act as the trigger for the ignition of the caseless ammo.

The 1911 used a 7 shot, single stack clip, because of the 2011's change to caseless ammo it fits 12 rounds in the same design clip. This thin design allows the 2011 to be highly concealable. The 2011 has ambidextrous safety and clip ejection controls.

The release was so well received that colt has continued to offer the 2011 to the public at large. Just as the pistols predecessor, the 2011 comes in many different combinations and "add-ons". See your local dealer for options available.

[Game notes: The stats given below are for the basic model. It can take any top, barrel, and some under barrel add-ons. ]

Samson Signal Pistol

Samson has created a fine signal pistol that has been designed with the airman/vehicle crew member in mind. This signal pistol has a line of signal flares available. However, what makes this pistol different is the ability to utilize any 25mm mini-grenade on the market.

The breach and barrel are designed to withstand the pressures of the mini-grenade ammo. So the pistol can double as a personal grenade launcher.
