I was just curious to how many players arm their runners with older weapon designs. In particular I was thinking of guns. For example, my only active character at the moment, uses a M14 (check Raygun's site, its under Assault Rifles built by Springfield). Its a nice gun, though in my character's case, he's used Cannon Companion build rules to shorten the barrel and improve base recoil compensation.

It does respectable single shot fire, and since its already a base 9S damage, when you start rocking with burst fire or FA, it can get pretty dangerous. If I read Raygun's site correctly, the M14 has been in service since 1957 :)

I credit Raygun's site alot for my character's use of weapons based in an 'older' era. The stats he gives them seem reasonable (and possible through CC creation rules) and seem more effective for my char than your standard weapons found in current SR. Plus, it helps to have pictures :) I like weapons that also look cool.
