Literary weapon lists
 

I write fiction for fun and I'd like to share the weapon lists from a few of my story arcs. While mostly firearms a couple characters (Maria Especially) are knife users as well.

I hope you all find the list interesting.

Wow, that's a lot of guns.
The only problem with gun-heavy literature is that few people enjoy it, and fewer understand it.

While yes the stories are rather weapon heavy, but I'm leaving alot of character development and plot out. The basic ideas behind the stories are a combination of adventure story, crime drama, love story, hero's journey, and sociopolitical comentary.

I started writing several years back after reading David Alexander's Phoenix series and decided that if something so bad could get published I could do better. So I took a couple of my Cyberpunk 2020 characters and started writing. I'll admit that my writing's not the best but some of my friends find it interesting and enjoyable so that's enough.

Id load the ruger with 125 gr, and kimber subcompacts are known to jam. Also, i doubt the cartels care if there guns are legal, they do deal drugs, after all.

I tend to make up weapon names, as most of my stories are set in alternate worlds or future settings, and I make tons of references with the names of the guns and bullets. For instance, the one I'm working on now, the story for my pipe dream video game, I've made up the following:

The K68 self-loading pistol, chambered in .40 Charlton
The Calypso 1931 Battle Rifle, firing the 6.35mm Rio
Charles and Boyle assault rifle
Marian 12 gauge shotgun
QED .22 pistol

See if you can recognize the references.

All i got was your carcano, what else?

Charles and Boyle are scientists who invented several gas laws, the QED is a reference to the popular saying Quod Erat Demonstrandum, Marian 12 Gauge is a reference to the Marian reforms of the Roman army, and .40 Charlton is a reference to Charlton comics.

Calypso being a reference to Calico maybe?
No wait, I'm totally wrong.
Besides don't use that reference, it was already done by 007: Agent Under Fire, the Calico SMG is called the Calypso.

I must of had that in mind while I drew it up. What should I change it to? Here is my official description of the Calypso.
"The Calypso 1931 battle rifle was stolen en masse by the rebels from a rich industrialist's private army after the whole estate died from fallout from a government nuclear test. It is chambered in 6.35mm Rialto full-power round."

K9870,
The reason as to why Don Tomasa DeSilva's house guards are all carrying legal firearms is the fact that he wishes to appear to be a legitimate buisinessman involved in banking(AKA: Money Laundering) and several other legitamate buisinesses. that's not to say he doesn't have illegal weapons but by keeping them hidden he keeps his brides down.

As far as the kimber goes at this point in the various storylines I have for the characters neither Johnny nor Maria are total badasses with the best equipment money can buy. while they are occationally given some really nice stuff from people. In a way it's the hero's journey part of the story.

Are you making like a legit book? Or just some fun stuff? BTW, .38 super handguns are quite common in mexico. A colt 38 super would be more realistic than an ultra carry

k9870,
The story started out as something for fun but some of my friends really like the characters and and a couple of people who either have or know a close friend with realy shitty upbringings have said that the characters sound relativly realistic. As far as Maria's subcompact .45. At this point in the character's history they are dwelling around the El Paso area so as the .45 is more common north of the border and the .45 has more spare parts... She chose the .45. Besides not only is Johnny is a fan of the .45 but one of the desert rats who advise her on desert survival carries one.

the following character images were done by a friend of mine. I hope you all enjoy.
Maria Murphy

Johnathan Bishop

Id say if you have developed characters and a plot, go ahead and write a book. A book where the author knows about guns is something I want to see. Those Vila guards may use 38 supers too.

Hey, a fellow fiction writer! :o

Pretty comprehensive lists. I wish my own weapon spreadsheets were that detailed...

I've been playing Roleplaying games for a great many years and I'm one of those people who gets asked for realisic weapon stats so that people don't see a Katanna inflict 10D10 damage while a 20mm Autocannon only does 8D10.
It sort of leaks over into my fiction as I try to find some way to game out my various action scenes. it explains as to why my characters almost allways get dinged up when they get into anything close to a fair fight.

Also even if i don't name a weapon in the final story it's nice to know what everyone is carrying so I can portray things more accuratly IE no bottomless magazines or M-60 machineguns chambered in 7.62X5.56mm .45ACP 230 grain hollowpoint wadcutter. yeah I've read very similar lines in a fictional adventure novel.

I was reading about a model 29 .357 today lol.

There was also the Shane Schofield Series by Matthew Reilly, lots of guns, lots of action, althogether great. The problem was what they do with the guns, no marine carries a Deeg or dual wields with an m16a2 and a mp7.....

there in lies the rub of having action sequences in any work of fiction. People who know what the f#ck they are talking about will pick apart your action sequences if you get them wrong and you will have c-pipe smokers pick apart your work if you go for realism. I'm shooting for some semblance of realism and noting that my stories are just fantasy and have little semblance to reality.

Basically if the badguys have stolden an M-240B you had better hope that they blow out the barrel or run out of ammo before they blow away whatever you are useing for cover.

As far as my stories setting goes it starts about the year 2018 and goes on from there and it's not a great place with Mexico a house of cards that's nearly in the hands of the drug cartels. The cartels have ended up with a status Quo and they like it that way. so having some kid ordering hits on us law enforcement and generally useing his own product is a bad thing. As far as the US goes we have had eight years of bad politics and are midterm of a moderate coup de etat so to speak. Things are bad but are looking up, and alot of bad laws are being repealed or rulled uncostitutional.
