Literary weapon lists

[Rockwolf66]

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.

[Alcatrazz]

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."
