The M55/20 is likely the best weapon in service anywhere beyond the Eternal Empire, and is in great demand across the Periphery. Every warlord, freelancer, soldier, or corporate stooge wants one, and the Directorate is perfectly willing to sell.

The M55/20 is the mid Liberation War upgrade to the older M55, which was put into service as a "Universal Weapon" in the decade leading up to the Liberation War. It was to fill the role of grenade launcher, marksman rifle, and light machine gun, and it did all of those roles well ( better at the first and third over the second).
Imperial Jannisary troops who had always been top of the line in firepower for Imperial Periphery raised troops found themselves outgunned by smaller units of Directorate Expeditionaries or Unionist Rebels with these rifles.

The M55/20 made what was a really good gun into near perfection by rectifying some of the flaws that the old version had, like making the targeting computer interface better with the grenades and shaving off an entire kilogram with a newer and more efficient SMES ring. It didn't take long for all the M55s in service to be converted or sold off to Periphery Union forces in their struggle against the Empire.

But now, the M55/20 is facing a similar fate in favor of the M55/45, which makes the gun even more accurate and powerful, makes the coil shunt more ergonomic and replaces the medium velocity 25mm grenade launcher that is unique to the M55 platform with the standard 36mm standard Directorate grenade launcher, making it a more performant yet bulkier and longer system.

This added bulk has led to the M55/20 sticking around past the date it was to be replaced, as while Assault Pioneer, Powersuit and Fusilier troops fought over who would get the gun first, the Armored Infantry and Espatiers decided that until the M55/45 had a carbine version made, it wouldn't serving with them.

The Periphery polities also use these rifles, with stocks of them ending up everywhere after the Union's Fall. They mostly serve with special forces and elite units, though some have enough of these guns to issue them to general purpose infantry either as a special squad weapon, or at a provisional basis

Handheld explosives used by an advanced alien race. Effectively a micro fusion reactor that's engineered to catastrophically fail after a set amount of time, detonating in a fireball of superheated plasma and molten shrapnel. Highly effective against both armor and infantry.

I was sitting on the porcelain throne at 2 in the morning in me birthday suit, struggling, when a HUGE Millepede came out of the drain hole in the other corner. I looked at the beast clad in black armor, without any tools to defend me self. My mind raced in desperation and desire for a weapon, ultimately came up with this thing you see here. The thing escaped into my room after i came back with the spray can.

Made in Blender 5.2.

Crude, simple, unelegant, nauseating descriptions for these guns differ just like the handmade guns themselves.

In the absence of standardised production, many guns abandoned traditional ways and used unorthodox methods and decisions, such as pulse-action. Typically, 'pulse rifles' were powered by batteries that were available, using electric spark to ignite the powder in the cartridge, providing a fairly reliable alternative to traditional systems. While many of these guns were muzzle-loading, they were also used for hunting. Guns such as this (pic. 1), with their light weight and short length, were relatively easy to conceal under a coat or in a backpack, even if they didn't have a folding stock. However, these bandit-made rifles, or carbines, often had a folding stock feature.

Handmade revolvers (pic. 2) gained their popularity because you need to put in a lot of work to create a revolver that would jam. Many of these guns were referred to as 'litterboxes', as a tribute to 'pepperboxes', antique handguns that predated traditional revolvers. And fairly enough, handmade revolvers would rather break apart before they would ever jam.

These guns remind us that there was a time in history when these things were common in the lawless, chaotic lives of street gangs, survivor caravans crossing the no man's land or remote farms where people hunted any wildlife in order to simply survive. Thankfully, these times are over, and these guns should be forgotten by history.

i feel like i added too many lines to give off cold war but it also feels empty when im trying to make it cold war and i dont know why

132P - Métamoufle

Wondrous (Gloves) – Rare (1320 gp, requires attunement)

These purple gloves have brown fingers with thin black trim between them and along the wrist. A pattern resembling a large S with Ms made of dots and lines in the curves sits on the back of the hand behind the thumb. The purple sections ripple and shine like they’re made of ooze.

While attuned to these gloves: you gain +1 to unarmed strike attack and damage rolls and do an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage; and as a bonus action, you can change the gloves’ additional bludgeoning damage to another damage type, which also changes the gloves’ fingers’ color to reflect the type. The colors are:

• Acid - Bright Green

• Bludgeoning - Rocky Brown

• Cold - Icy Blue

• Fire - Bright Orange

• Force - Shining Silver

• Lightning - Electric Yellow

• Necrotic - Pitch Black

• Piercing - Forest Green

Here is an M7 assault rifle skin I created, featuring a transparent body, a see-through magazine, and a floating holographic HUD display. The model was ported, rigged, and rendered in Blender (Cycles); the project also includes an exploded view and a rotating showcase animation.

Reference/Original Design: Delta Force "Prism" M7. Rigging, animation, and rendering were all done by me.
