AKM

The AKM-64/SP (Special Purpose) is an Oceanykan assault rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm and based in the standard AKM design. However, because it is meant to equip Federal Special Research Division troops, which typically face otherworldly enemies, it is heavily customised to the user's benefit. The grip, handguard, stock and magazines are manufactured from strong, light polymers giving the weapon a space-age feel despite using the good, old and reliable AKM system. Its metallic parts, including the receiver and barrel, are almost entirely made from Bluesteel for greater physical stress resistance, thermal protection and accuracy, giving it a Reinforced Frame out of the box, which allows this rifle to fire Armour Piercing Hellshot munitions. Noticeably, the barrel is chrome-lined and manufactured to match-grade standards. Finally, it comes factory-equipped with both a Soviet PO 3.5x21P Scope and an American Laser Products Model 7LSM Laser Sight, giving the FSRD combatant a much higher hit probability at any range.

This item must be acquired or sold through the black market using Spielkarten.

Abilities

Common Attributes - Mechanical

Auto

This weapon is fully automatic, either inherently so or by the presence of a selective-fire mechanism.

EFFECT:
This weapon can fire more than one shot each time it is used, specifically, in bursts. A penalty is applied depending on the burst size, to simulate recoil. The number of shots in a burst is different for certain types of weapons.

Very Hard DM

Automatic weapons are considered stable when they're mounted on a vehicle, tripod or turret. This is different from the Stabilised SA.

Do note that penalties from firing at long-range apply as per the Basic Rules (TBD).

It is impossible to perform automatic fire at a target that is at Very Long Range (VLR) or Extreme Range (EXR) without a stable firing platform.

Medium-Range Sight

Medium-range sights are optical devices that improve a shooter's accuracy at average engagement ranges, while allowing them to reach out further than that. The majority of classical "sniper scopes" of the pre-Cold War era were, in reality, medium-range sights.

EFFECT:
This weapon gains an Easy DM to its Hit Rolls from Short Range (SR) to Medium Range (MR).
This bonus does not stack with additional Medium-Range Sights.

Reinforced Frame

This weapon's receiver, chamber and/or barrel have been reinforced so that it can fire super-pressurised ammunition, using either advanced metallurgical techniques, alter-geochemical metals or more esoteric means. Mind the recoil.

EFFECT:
This weapon can safely fire Armour Piercing Hellshot or, if it is artillery, APFSDS Hellshot.

Short-Range Sight

Short-range sights include classical collimator sights, as well as more modern and more technologically advanced devices, such as red-dot sights and laser sights, but their purpose is the same: to improve hit probability and reaction time at close ranges.

EFFECT:
This weapon gains an Easy DM to its Hit Rolls from Point-Blank Range (PBR) to Short Range (SR).
This bonus does not stack with additional Short-Range Sights.

Common Attributes - Miscellaneous

Anomaly Interceptor - FSRD Weapons

This weapon was specifically designed by the Federal Special Research Division to banish the otherworldly to wherever they came from.

EFFECT:
This weapon does x2 DMG against any Cryptid 🐲 or Eldritch Creature 👾.

Whatcha Got There? - Suspicious Objects

Some things are better kept out of the public's eye, lest you attract the wrong crowd's attention to yourself.

EFFECT:
This item is likely to draw attention, and not in a good way. Flaunting it is a good way to become Suspicious.

Common Attributes - National

'Anykan Touch - Oceanykan Small Arms (CW)

Most Oceanykans' belief in personal liberty extends to their guns, and they believe themselves to be great at modding them out. Regardless of whether or not that is true, the reality is that practically every weapon in Oceanyka has suffered from modifications to its original design, either by its previous owner, the manufacturer or the artisan that crafted it.

EFFECT:
Upon first acquiring this weapon, roll 1d3 and grant this weapon a permanent bonus.

  1. Ergonomic: The weapon can always Counterattack (0 AP) after an enemy's melee attack.
  2. Controllable: The weapon can always be used to Magdump (2 AP).
  3. Idiot-Proof: This weapon can never jam nor fail from UNRELIABILITY.

In Wargame Mode, all weapons with this SA across the entire army respond to a single roll.

Unique Attributes

Doch Kalashnikova - Kalashnikov UA

The AK-47 family of rifles is something of a legend. Reliable, rugged and dependable to the extreme, able to work in the harshest conditions with little maintenance. In the mid-1960s it became the weapon of choice for guerillas and insurgents, a legacy which would become long-lasting. 

EFFECT:
This weapon's hit or damage rolls can always be rerolled, gaining 1 UNREL point for the duration of combat after each instance. Additionally, it is immune to Serious Malfunction (they become a Minor Malfunction).
