  • Howdah Pistol: Heavy, large caliber handguns, often with a four-barrel pepperbox setup or double barrel over/under arrangement. They were often carried for defense against large dangerous animals such as lions, tigers, or buffalo, although British officers often bought them to carry on the battlefield.

Revolvers

The revolvers of this era were commonly double action, pulling the trigger rotates the barrel, cocks the hammer, and then fires the gun. This results in a heavier trigger, affecting accuracy, so most double action revolvers could also be fired single action. If fired single action, ROF decreases to 1, but Aim increases by 1.

  • Colt M1892: The first general issue double action revolver used by the U.S. military, the M1892 was in service in the last part of the 19th Century and the very first part of the 20th. It was famously replaced by a .44 caliber revolver after the Moro Rebellion when the .38 caliber round was found to be insufficient to stop enraged swordsman even after taking several hits.
  • Colt New Service, Model 1909: A heavy frame double action revolver that replaced the Colt M1892 as the U.S. military service revolver.
  • Nagant M1895: This curious revolver has a unique gas seal – when the gun is cocked, the cylinder moves forward to close the gap between the cylinder and the barrel. This allows the Nagant to be one of the few revolvers that can be suppressed, while also allowing for a faster bullet and less hassle from black powder loads. This does, however, make reloading awkward, with each cartridge case needing to be individually extracted (1 action each), and each round inserted individually (1 action each). The Nagant was produced throughout the 20th Century, originally for the Czarist Russian Empire and later for the Soviet Union.
  • Webley Revolver: This was the standard service pistol for the United Kingdom from the Victorian period through the mid Cold War period. These stats can be used for any of the Webley models between the Mk II to Mk VI.
  • Weble-Fosbery Automatic Revolver: The Webley-Fosbery was a recoil-operated revolver, automatically cocking the hammer and advancing the cylinder with each shot. Thus, it could be fired as fast as the trigger could be pulled but with the same crisp trigger break of a single action.
  • Smith & Wesson Model 30: A small double-action revolver from the early and mid 20th Century, designed for concealed carry.
  • Smith & Wesson Model 10: A mid-sized double-action revolver that was the most popular handgun of the 20th Century, where it was the standard police revolver in most of the U.S. as well as the U.S. Army. Snub-nosed versions of this revolver would have Bulk -½ and Aim +0.
  • Smith & Wesson Model 17: A double-action revolver chambered for the .22 Long Rifle round, for target practice and small animal hunting.
  • Colt M1917: This large frame double-action revolver designed for and used by the U.S. Army from the late First World War up until the end of the 20th Century.

  • Mauser C96: This pistol is distinctive for having its magazine in front of the trigger rather than in the grip. The shape of its grip gave it the nickname "broomhandle". It is one of the earlier semi-automatic pistols, in common use in the first half of the 20th Century, and was quite popular during its day seeing military service in many of the early century's wars, rebellions, and colonial actions.
  • Luger P08: A slim and elegant-looking German semi-automatic pistol. It was used by the German military, as well as by the Swiss, Portugese, Dutch, brazilians, Bolivians, and Bulgarians.

  • Elephant Gun: Large double rifles were popular back in the 19th and 20th Centuries for taking large, dangerous game. They would often be found toted by genteleman adventurers on safari in Africa or India. Many of these were ornate, bespoke pieces made by expert craftsman and sold for extraorbinant prices – a Holland & Holland Royal Double would fetch the equivalent of VR$10,000 to VR$50,000, for example (roughly ten times that in year 2000 US$).

  • Winchester Model 1895: Spitzer-nosed bullets cannot be safely stored in a tubular magazine. Thus, Winchester designed a lever gun that could be fed from a box magazine. This allowed it to fire the full-sized rifle cartridges using smokeless powder that were coming into vogue with the armies of the world. The Model 1895 in 7.62×54 R was adopted as a service rifle in Czarist Russia, and later the Soviet Union.
  • Marlin Model Golden 39A: This rifle has the distinction of being the longest continually produced rifle. It is a popular .22 lever gun for plinking and small game hunting, and renouned for its accuracy.
  • Winchester Model 1894: This rifle is one of the most popular models of hunting rifle of all time, with the .30-30 cartridge becoming particularly popular for deer hunting.
  • Savage Model 99: This popular lever gun had a unique rotating internal magazine. This allowed it to use spitzer bullets, which would otherwise pose a risk of a chain firing of all ammunition in a tubular magazine. In addition to the .300 Savage round, it would alsmo be chambered for nearly every popular rifle cartridge available.

  • Lebel: The French Lebel rifle was one of the first bolt action rifles in common military service.
  • Mosin-Nagant: The Mosin-Nagant was developed in Czarist Russia and later used by the Soviet Union.
  • Type 38: A Japanese service rifle used by imperial Japanese forces in the invasion and occupation of China. It was commonly used with a bayonet.
  • Gewehr 98: The German infantry rifle.
  • Lee-Enfield: The British Lee-Enfield rifle was a mainstay of the British forces in its various later colonial actions. There are many variations, most not too substantially different from the stats given here.
  • Carcano M91: The Italian Carcano M91 saw use by Italy and various other powers in the waning years of the 19th century and early 20th.
  • M1903 Springfield: The M1903 was the main US service rifle in the First World War. It was known for its accuracy, and used as a sniper rifle even long after it was obsolete as a rifle for front line grunts.
  • Plinking Rifle: The .22 long rifle cartridge was one of the most popular firearm cartirdiges ever made, for its low price, low noise, low recoil, and general accuracy and ease of use. It was only suitable for hunting small animals, up to perhaps foxes and jackrabbits, but it was highly successful in that role and was also popular for general target shooting. Consequently, many models of bolt action rifles chambered for .22 Lr were made and sold. While the stats listed here are modeled after the Remington Scoremaster 511, any other .22 rifle will offer broadly similar performance.

Shotguns

Break Action Shotguns

These are largely similar to the break action shotguns of the Old West era. However, they use smokeless powder, allowing higher pressures and improved performance.

  • Break Action Double Shotgun: This was a very common style of shotgun despite the availabiity of semingly more sophisticated pump action and semi-auto models.
  • Sawn-Off Shotgun: Criminals and the like often wanted a shotgun that was easier to hide, and so sawed off the barrel to shorten the weapon. To avoid overly redundant entries in the table, only the 12 gauge stats are listed - to get the stats of other bore sizes, use the break action double stats but reduce mass by 0.5 kg, drop the Bulk to +3½, and drop the Aim to +4. For masses under 3.5 kg, Str is -2, otherwise Str is -1.
  • Lupara: Shotguns shortened to the size of a large pistol. The name comes from southern Italy, but the design can be improvised just about anywhere.

            Light Machine Guns

            Light machine guns are machine guns that can be transported and operated by a single person. While they can be fired from the shoulder or from the hip, they are practically uncontrollable that way and are usually fired from a bipod. The listed stats assume a bipod, without one, increase both RCL and Str by +4.

            • Lewis Gun: A British machine gun. It used a top mounted pan magazine with 47 or 97 rounds, the 97 round version will have twice the cost and weight.

            Medium Machine Guns

            Medium machine guns are machine guns light enough to be carried by one person and moved around the battlefield, but which are usually operated by a crew of two or three (generally a gunner, an assistent gunner who helps with linking ammunition chains together and changing barrels, and possible a spotter). They were typically fired from a tripod, but lacked water cooling for their barrels, opting for quick-change barrels instead. Rotating through two or three barrels, often changed each time a belt of ammunition was exhausted, would allow all the barrels to cool sufficiently to be rotated through indefinitely.

            Heavy Machine Guns

            These are machine guns designed for long duration sustained fire, usually with a water cooling jacket around the barrel. They were fired from a tripod, and were too weighty and cumbersome to be moved around the battlefield. Rather they were set up at fixed defensive emplacements. They generally had a crew of two or three soldiers. These weapons would usually use the same ammunition as the service rifles of the day, for ease of logistics.

            • PM M1910: The machine gun of the Imperial Russian Army.
            • Vickers: The British machine gun. It is generally mounted on a 20 kg tripod, and filled with 4 kg of water for coolant. The Vickers K was a high rate of fire version mounted on aircraft - change ROF to 18.
            • Hotchkiss M1914: A French machine gun. Early models fired 24 round cartridge strips, although this was soon replaced by a standard 250 round belt.
            • M1917: A U.S. machine gun.

            Autocannons

            Autocannons are high caliber, crew-served firearms that automatically load their ammunition, often allowing near machine gun rates of fire. All the autocannons listed below use armor piercing (AP), armor piercing incendiary (API), high explosive (HE), or high explosive incendiary (HEI) rounds. AP and API rounds have an additional -4 to the AP score. HE and HEI cause explosions as listed for the caliber of shells launched by the cannon. Anything with incendiary effects (API and HEI) will cause an additional Pen 2d6 RS-7 Burn damage with the same Wound Score of the round. The Temperature Score of the incendiary effect is +7, and continues for 10 combat rounds. If the projectile initially pierces armor, the incendiary effect occurs inside the target and armor does not protect. Shells can be fused to detonate on impact before penetration, after full penetration, or a set time after launch.

            • QF 1-pounder "pom-pom": The first autocannon, this British weapon was essentially an enlarged maxim machine gun.
            • QF 2-pounder: When the 1-pounder guns were found to be inadequate against balloons, the design was upscaled to 2-pounders that could poke bigger holes in the balloon gas envelopes. They were also used against other aircraft. The same design was also used by the Japanese and Italians in addition to the UK. It was motsly out of service by WWII, but some were taken out of storage to arm merchant ships.
            • Becker Type M2 20 mm cannon: A German aircraft autocannon.

            Mortars

            A typical infantry mortar is operated by a crew of five: a squad leader, two soldiers who aim, adjust, maintain, and fire the mortar, and two soldiers who prepare the ammunition for firing and track its use. Shells can be fused to detonate on impact before penetration, after full penetration, or a set time after launch.

            Howitzers

            Various nations used a variety of artillery pieces in this time period. Most of them can be slotted into something not too far from one of the examples below, even though the caliber might not be exact (so 10 cm and 10.4 cm howitzers can be treated as 105mm howitzers for practical game purposes). As time went on and technology advanced, some models were able to shoot shells faster and farther. This can be treated as increasing the range to, in some cases, up to over 9 km and increasing direct impact Pen by +½ RS.

            Shells can be fused to detonate on impact before penetration, after full penetration, or a set time after launch.

              Naval Guns

              Naval guns shoot either armor piercing rounds (-4 to AP), or high explosive shells. Shells can be fused to detonate on impact before penetration, after full penetration, or a set time after launch.
