So in an up coming run for my group I will be doing it at weapons expo '72, so apart from your normal weapons, what did you all think that I should include? I have a few ideas for some of them, eg: some "old" weapons like the preditor 1 ect, some random stuff that I have made up.

Depends on the market being aimed at.

A Weapon's Expo for Hunters is going to be quite different than a Weapon's Expo for the Military.

And a Weapon's Expo by Ares is going to be quite different than a Weapon's Expo from some Eastern European Gun Runner's Convention.

Lasers (Now with high-density, ultra-high tech battery packs). Not as reliable as an AK you say? Well.. can an AK recharge from NOTHING? Now we include a solar converter: Just unfold the only 20kg solar pannel package and charge up to 80 shots on a sunny day. (Only 28.000 per unit laser, and 2500 for the military solar panels, YAY)

The "Golden Silence" for the mercenary with style. This handcannon is mounted floating on the grip and shoots a 0.8 inch armor piercing round. It is the only weapon (roughly) in pistol size which can reliably shoot down a helicopter with one shot. (Gold, Platinum or Pearl grip as standard)

Are those "good" guns? Hell no... but fun as a publicity tool in a violent world.

Some toys still in development and aren't entirely practical, but the corps bring to show off The Gun Of Tomorrow. Gauss weapons maybe, or the Zorg ZF-1

Small companies with an idea and glitchy prototype, looking for investors.

Non-lethal stuff.

Targeting systems and software.

Normal weapons but with special ammo.

Training companies.

Nano-manufacturers (the new AK can't be the only one in the world).

And of course Booth Babes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Open Arsenal. Press Ctrl+F, type "Exotic Weapon", press Enter until you find stuff you like.

A new generation of luxury personal weaponry, the Annihilator 2000 is America's premier survival, home and travel security unit.

Night-vision goggles, microprocessor, verbal alarm system, compact disc player, digital AM/FM radio, video camera and playback functions are just a few features of the exraordinary Annihilator 2000. Stopping power is a matter of convenience. The Annihilator 2000 is constructed of aluminium alloy combined with polymer technology, totally resistant to corrosion.

And here it is in action!

The idea is more of a come everybody and see all this new stuff, there is a inderpendant contractor area, mega corp area, a bit of an arms dealers area, seminar theater to show off some new things, a mage-tech area, pretty much everything.

It cost 1,000 per day for entry for 2,500 for a three day pass (it's running Friday, Saturday, Sunday) upon entry they are being give a light pistol converted to shot .30cal stick-n-shock rounds.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if they decided to do a "recon" on the Friday, the job on Saturday, and then a chill out Sunday.

They are doing a run to go and get a prototype plasma weapon

Also thanks for the ideas so far, keep them coming

You should pick up Gun Heaven (or Haven) if you haven't already. A whole collection of new guns your players haven't seen in the BBB or Arsenal.

Also, if you need ideas for the Military section or the theater, you can grab MilSpecTech and use some of the vehicles in there as demo pieces.

If he`s feeling really brave, he could look at the things in War!, too. Again, just trying to help, don`t want to start an argument about War!'s problems.

The "We actually improved the Kalashnikov design after a century-and-a-half" is worth a read...

I have my ways.

Oh! Good suggestion for the Weapon's Expo: Double-Barreled Panther Assault Cannons!

[warrior_allanon]

*face palms*

oh frag me side ways

[CanRay]

You know it'd sell well with the Troll crowd in the Southern CAS.

"If dem Azzies t'ink dey can jus' walk over dis line ahn thake our land. Well..." *Cocks Double-Barreled Panther Assault Cannon* "Betsy's got sum werds fer 'em!"

EDIT: Oh, and, um, it gets worse.

Ah, the Rich NRA-Member Crowd!

The Uber-Rich NRA crowd. There was a gun show here in Pittsburgh at the Monroeville Expo Mart, and iirc, it's $20 to get in. Sure it's not a huge industry premiere kind of gun show, but at those prices, it's not for the average man.

I went for the very expensive route so that I could have some crazy stuff there, also so that I could have some realsih threats inside.

[CanRay]

Probably lots of (Actually legitimate) Middle Eastern types there.

I remember walking around the Mint one time, and my father getting quite pissed off that they were allowed to keep their blades while he had to give up his Zippo because "it was made of metal, and thus dangerous". (Luckily, he got it back.).

Before you ask, no, there was nothing flammable around for him to light except for his smokes. And it was a non-smoking building.

Has non-smoking ever actually stopped anyone? We have signs out hat tell people "No smoking within 3 meters of the building" and people stand right next to the doors and smoke.

Yes, I realize your example is about safety, but even so, there are some extremely smart individuals who don't care.

[CanRay]

Try lighting up in a Government Building that has RCMP officers (And worse) running security and finding out just how fast that "No Smoking" sign is very, very serious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Also, a weapon's expo would like be a non-smoking area.

[Daier Mune]

Depending on how far along DEW development is in your game's timeline, there's about a hundred different ways of building a laser. Would be interesting to see a weapons expo where different companies were selling their own proprietary weapons tech. chemical lasers, free electron lasers, pulse energy projectiles, laser-induced plasma channeling, and proton beams are all fancy ways of doing the same thing: shooting something with a beam of (near)light speed heat.

My university reached the top of that logic. Each entrance to its many buildings is decorated with two factory-made signs (so they're permanent, you see). To the left of the door, "No smoking". To the right, "Please put the cigarette butts into the waste bins".

"This is the newest in Heavy Metal Instrumentation from Ares Arms. It's a Six-String Guitar with a built-in amplifier. Incorporated into the body is a stripped-down Ares Beta. While the magazine that's designed for the guitar is half the size of our regular model, the standard magazines also fit, as well as extended magazines and drum magazines with the standard magazine well modifications. For when your security isn't able to keep back the fans, your firepower certainly can, and the 12 gauge shotgun can be used to launch flares for additional pyrotechnics."

"I'll buy twelve."

[TheOOB]

I had a new weapons release as part of a run before. Colt released the Colt Evolution, the next step in pistol technologies. It was a heavy pistol, with built in internal silencer, internal smartlink, and electronic fireing, was made with lightweight non-metal materials, and still had all it's mod slots open(It managed to get these released as ergonomic features in the UCAS and thus legal on public market). They also released a limited run of reproduction M1911's to hype the new gun.

Naturally stealing some pre-release guns made up for a run
