BEAR REPUBLIC WEAPONS

Some unique weapons used by the Bear Republic in Northern California.

REDDING Heavy Industries OCTO Shot Gun


CARTRIGE 12 Gauge
E-FACTOR 8 per shell
WT. (EMPTY) 1.9Kg
EFF. RNG. 30m
MAX. RNG. 100m
TYPE OF FIRE Selective Action
RATE OF FIRE 12 rpm
FEED DEVICE 8 rd cylinder
FEED DEVICE WT. n/a
BASIC LOAD 24 shells
LOADED WT. 3.44kg
TOTAL WT. 3.44kg
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS This weapon is a custom designed but mass produced close in weapon system. A thumb selector allows 1, 2, 4 or all 8 cartridges (not recommended) to be discharged at one time. Made of tubular steel, this surprisingly well made combat shotgun has a massive recoil, but unparalleled first strike capability. Issued to specialist Police units and Military strike teams only. Very Rare outside the BEAR Republic.

CHICO Industries Room Sweeper


CARTRIGE 7.62x17mm (.32 ACP)
E-FACTOR 5 per round
WT. (EMPTY) 1.3Kg
EFF. RNG. 100m
MAX. RNG. 500m
TYPE OF FIRE Full Automatic
RATE OF FIRE 300 rpm
FEED DEVICE 50 round vertical magazine
FEED DEVICE WT .63kg
BASIC LOAD 5 � 50 round magazines
LOAD WT. 1.93kg
TOTAL WT. 2.01kg
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS This weapon is a improvised trade SMG of low quality, but VERY effective. Unfortunately, due to the black powder ammo it uses, it quickly fouls, overheats, and then tends to jam and the ammo cooks off. As the bullets are paper wrapped and tin lined, the cartridges must be kept dry, and long term storage is impractical, as the cartridges become unstable within a year of manufacture.

REDDING Heavy Industries BEAR REPUBLIC VIPER


CARTRIGE 9x29mm (.38)
E-FACTOR 7
WT. (EMPTY) 1.66Kg
EFF. RNG. 200m
MAX. RNG. 800m
TYPE OF FIRE Blowback, Automatic Only
RATE OF FIRE 820 rpm
FEED DEVICE 32 round Magazine
FEED DEVICE WT .33kg
BASIC LOAD 5 � 8 32 round magazines
LOAD WT. 2.0kg
TOTAL WT. 2.0kg
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS This direct copy of the venerable US Army M3 Grease gun was a logical step when the issue of equipping the Army with a standard, reliable and cost effective SMG came up 80 years ago. This design has withstood the test of time and this version is almost as reliable as those made in 1943.

REDDING Heavy Industries BEAR REPUBLIC VICTORY RIFLE


CARTRIGE 7.62x54mm (.30-06)
E-FACTOR 14
WT. (EMPTY) 2.2kg
EFF. RNG. 800m
MAX. RNG. 1,400m
TYPE OF FIRE Bolt Action
RATE OF FIRE 20 rpm
FEED DEVICE 5 rd Stripper Clip
FEED DEVICE WT .2kg
BASIC LOAD 20 � 5 round stripper clips
LOAD WT. 2.4kg
TOTAL WT. 2.4kg
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS This Direct copy of the US M1903 Springfield was chosen for reliability, accuracy, ease and cost of manufacture. There are a handful of pre war examples still in service, and though worn out and ancient, they are prized, as the newer versions have an inferior rifled barrel.

REDDING Heavy Industries BEAR REPUBLIC LIGHTNING


CARTRIGE 9x33mm (.357 Magnum)
E-FACTOR 11
WT. (EMPTY) 1.9Kg
EFF. RNG. 75m
MAX. RNG. 500m
TYPE OF FIRE Double Action
RATE OF FIRE 30 rpm (effective)
FEED DEVICE 6 rd cylinder
FEED DEVICE WT .19kg
BASIC LOAD A Wild West gun belt with 72 bullet loops
LOAD WT. 1.44kg
TOTAL WT. 1.44kg
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS These direct copies of the Famous Colt Lightning are of shockingly high quality and workmanship. Well made and as reliable as their predecessors, the weapons are chambered in .357 for the stopping power, not the accuracy. Police units are issued the 3 � inch barrel version for its quick draw ability, whereas the 5 � inch barrel version is reserved for Army use due to the inherently better accuracy.
