The World’s Firearm Catalog—Without Ares


There are those that think any weapon worth owning is produced by the UCAS megacorporation Ares. Perhaps
as a statement of just how willing we are to kill each other, however, there are numerous other manufacturers that
provide equally lethal options. Nearly every AA or AAA corporation owns at least a small-arms manufacturer, as the
Sixth World has a growing need for more weaoons, and the corps want the ability to gain windfall profits from desper-
ate purchasers when the opportunities arise.
Shiawase, Renraku, and Saedder-Krupp produce quarterly catalogs similar to the more widely known Ares prod-
uct, but their efforts have yet to be widely commented on by the shadow community. Cavalier Arms is developing into
a brand known for its reliable, if uninspired, designs, but its products are still largely only sold in North America. The
availability of these weapons varies considerably based on the location of the manufacturer and the vigor with which
it monitors its support channel. These are the weapons you should expect to see on the streets and battle zones near
you over the next year or so.

> Mr. Bonds
(from War!, p. 154)
A battle rifle is an up-powered version of an assault rifle. It fires heavier
caliber rounds than an assault rifle and offers batter accuracy at longer
ranges. It is heavier than an assault rifle, which helps compensate for the
added recoil of the larger round. A battle rifle’s role lies between that of an
assault rifle and a sniper rifle. Battle rifles use sporting rifle ranges and can
take any modification or accessory available to assault rifles.

ONOTARI ARMS DEATHDEALER™
AMMUNITION MK I
Onotari Arms is pleased to announce the release of the first practical self-guided small-arms ammunition. The Deathdealer™ ammunition is now
available to purchasers with a valid End User Certificate. The rounds are guided by heavily miniaturized thermographic seekers and maneuver with
pop-out micro fins. This allows the round to subtly correct the round’s trajectory closer to the center of mass of the largest heat signature in the seeker’s
field of view. While current technology is incapable of directing a round around protective cover in the comparatively short distances typical of small
arms engagements, the Deathdealer™ increases the efficiency of security forces armed with them and minimizes the number of stray rounds fired in any
given scenario.
Deathdealer™ ammunition is available in a number of different calibers; please contact your Sales Representative to determine availability. Due
to high demand, Onotari Arms cannot offer these rounds under the Instant Arms™ delivery program.

> Holy shit! Do these actually work? If so, I so need a few thousand rounds. The indigs will never know what hit them.
> Picador
> They work, in a limited way. The fins can move the bullet from an arm to the shoulder, but not much more than that. If you are a long-range headshot kind of guy, you might

> I have a half-dozen of my regulars begging for every round I can get, and it’s not easy. So far I’ve managed two pistol magazine’s worth, and the cost is staggering. Street

Deathdealer Ammunition Mk I
The Deathdealer round confers a +1 dice pool modifier to ranged combat tests. The shooter still must have a line-of-sight to their target, as
the round is incapable of sharp turns or other radical movement to engage unseen targets. This modifier is negated if the target is within the effective
range of an area jammer (p. 329, SR4A) as the jammer interferes with the round’s guidance package. If the ammunition is fired as part of a burst or
full auto attack, the entire burst must consist of the guided ammunition or the benefit is lost.
The Deathdealer round is available for Heavy Pistols, SMGs, Assault Rifles, and Battle Rifles.
