@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_Pistol
Originally a vanilla mod Ka Haa'umi pistol manufactured by Omakeda, this gun
has been repaired enough times that it's practically indestructible now.

Having used it for a whole decade, this pistol still services you today,
without fail.

Fires fourteen custom high-grade vacuum-enabled .374 Express rounds. Can be
reloaded easily, since you duct-taped a magazine holder on the side. Features
a small CB-Scope similar to that of most other Omakeda weapons.

@@ LITH_TXT_INFO_DESCR_Shotgun
Manufactured by Omakeda, this shotgun fires both regular 8-gauge buck and a
small plasma charge at the same time. This enables the shotgun to be used both
as a rifle with railgun-like capabilities and a standard shotgun.

The plasma charge is powered by a small self-replenishing battery lodged in
the firing mechanism.

Most military models come with a CB-Scope.

During the short Avian-Sapiens war of
1401 NE, A.O.F Inc. ran a line of modified Hiku Mk.2 shotguns that removed the
shell firing mechanism and replaced it with a high-power photon condenser.

This both removes the need to chamber rounds and gives a nice boost in fire
rate. The gun is, essentially, completely different in use.

A modification for the Hiku Mk.1 shotgun made by A.O.F Inc. for research
purposes. Uses a rather small container of poison that refills itself
automatically, contained in the loading mechanism, to infect enemies with
deadly corrosive acid fused with deadly neurotoxin.

This rather terrifying upgrade was never updated to the Mk.2 model. The
internal structure is similar enough that one may still use it with the Mk.2,
but the plasma firing mechanism must be disabled.

Made during a war on Earth by a long nameless company, this weapon excels in

A superconducting coil in the middle is used to channel tons of energy into a
photon accelerator at extremely quick speeds, recharged by cocking the gun.

Puts out 2x2 4ga shells made to hunt the gigantic beasts of the planet Ch'ari.

The barrels are extremely tempered so as to not melt under harsh environments,
and have a unique dual-loading system. This dual-loading system allows you to
fire four shots in rapid succession without a large amount of recoil by
placing additional shells into both barrels.

It is currently unknown how this actually works, and it possibly uses
4-dimensional geometry.

This weapon bears manufacturer marks in a non-human language and is known only
as the Super Shotgun.

AllPoint's 75-b model full-auto AR, produced for military and government

Firing 1,050 rounds per minute of .467 caliber Teflon-plated death, this
beautiful gun works in both harsh atmospheres and vacuums thanks to a
super-tough exterior made out of titanium.

Comes with an inbuilt undermount-like grenade launcher. Holds only one grenade

Looking at the design failures in the 75-b, AllPoint sought to make an
improvement by way of a modification. Thus, they gathered, they could take
parts from their 80-g Sniper Rifle and fit them snugly into a combat rifle.

The 75-c Modal Trigger enables a third firing mode in which four two-round
bursts are fired sequentially. Using this mode also enables a partial
CB-Scope, which unfortunately does little more than obstruct your view.

Boasting extreme speed, highly modifiable parts, and a sleek exterior design,
the D.671 will eradicate any foe you put against it.

After SYM4.3 put it on the market, this weapon was ultimately ignored because
of lack of advertising and early rumors regarding how weakly rockets are
initially propelled out the rifle.

This seems to use nanomachines or some similar technology to propel rockets
after they've been ignited and left the barrel; thus causing a small lag
before the rocket takes off fully.

Explosives are fun, as we all know, and Unreal Arms agreed with the sentiment.
Eight high-yield rocket-propelled grenades are loaded one at a time into the
launcher until finally the load is unleashed.

The secondary trigger can be held to select the mode of fire -- the default
mode shoots all eight in a horizontal line forward. The second mode shoots the
rockets in a spiral pattern for maximum damage on one area, and the third and
final mode hurls all of the grenades out of their rocket casings.

This is a modification that adds an extra nanomachine dispenser to the gun's

it is fired that push it to angle toward the enemy.

several companies.

One of those weapons, owned now by AllPoint and sold as the "68-n Plasma

The primary fire mode emits 7.52tW per bolt at approximately 2,800 bolts per
minute, and the secondary emits 1,260 30.96tW penetrating bolts per minute.

No, really. It's probably hotter than the sun. If you were like, 700km away

The SF-2012 IAC is quite ubiquitous among Semaphore's arsenal, being one of

focuses a ray of ions, gathers energy in the rifle, and then fires an charge
through the ion ray all at once, creating a huge plasmatic explosion in a very

A pattern buffer for the Omega Cannon which emits an explosive bolt that does

How this buffer was sent here is unknown, as no living being in this dimension
can enter the Super Dimension, where it was created.

Popular theory among black market traders suggests that it could have been sent
here because the creator of the Omega Cannon wasn't satisfied with its power,
and wanted whoever attained it to be all-powerful.

Also, the CB-Scope works again, somehow.
