Modern Firearms

Modern Firearms are not something thae Avatar is normally expected to use - after all even the muskets on Britannia in Ultima VII are quite excotic. However, in the space- and time-shifted aventures of Savage Empire and Martian Dreams, these weapons are the most normal thing imaginable and can show off their destructive firepower. It's a good thing the Avatar knows how to use these weapons.

Note that the M60 Machine Gun has a separate article.

Derringer
This little handgun in Martian Dreams is often called a "ladies' gun", since it's small and ideal to be hidden inside a woman's purse. While having the same stopping power as a revolver, the derringer suffers from the fact that one has to practically stand almost next to the target to shoot them. It would be smarter to quickly replace this weapon with the revolver, which uses the same ammunition as well. Stopping Power: 2 Range: 1

Uses pistol ammo.

Revelover
This is the standard handgun used in Martian Dreams. While having the same stopping power as the derringer, it's range is vastly superior to the smaller handgun. One can use two revolvers at the same time - one in each hand - for double the damage, but with lower accurancy. This is ideal for chracters who have a higher dexterity but lower strength and thus would have more trouble with rifle weapons. Stopping Power: 2 Range: 3

Uses pistol ammo.

Shotgun
Used in Martian Dreams, the shotgun's basic premise is to fire it at point-blank range at the enemy and then watch it getting reduced to minced meat by the bullet spray. This has the strange effect that it's a firearm that has next to no range, but its destructive power more than makes up for it. It should mostly be used in tight conditions, where an enemy can hardly attack from afar. Stopping Power: 3 Range: 1

Uses shotgun ammo.

Rifle
Used in the Savage Empire and Martian Dreams, this is a weapon that can cause death very quickly on a wide distance. Against enemies who can only attack in melee, this is an almost unfair advantage. However, while on Mars there is a steady supply of ammo available from the Trading Post, rifle ammo is very precious on Eodon, due to the limited stores available. Thus usage of rifles should be reduced to when the situation really demands it. Savage Empire Stopping Power: "Amazing"

Uses rifle bullets.

Martian Dreams Stopping Power: 4 Range: 5

Uses rifle ammo.

Belgian Combine
This weapon, used in Martian Dreams, is very much the same as the rifle, but with the additional bonus that it has two additional modes. It can be switched to a shotgun-mode, using the appropiate ammo, or be used in a combo-mode, firing off a rifle and shotgun shot at the same time. Of course, the shotgun shells do scatter at a distance, thus making this a somewhat dubious idea at best. Stopping Power: 4 Range: 5

Uses rifle ammo and shotgun ammo.

Elephant Gun
The biggest and meanest rifle available in Martian Dreams, the elephant gun does even more damage than the rifle, but at the same maximum distance. This however does come with the price that it needs special ammo, which it can't share with normal rifles. Stopping Power: 5 Range: 5

Uses rifle ammo and elephant gun ammo.
