Colt Ouroboros:

An update for the venerable Colt Asp model, the Ouroboros is a medium caliber revolver that can also use the lighter caliber version of the rounds it's chambered for. Extensively tested in every part of the Earth accessible, and in space, it has proven to be one of the most reliable swing-out cylinder designs ever created. Called "The Best Wheelgun Ever Made Since The Peacemaker" by Captain Paul Hardeski, Lone Star Security's current leader in arrests and convictions in ten cities that Lone Star provides service for. The Ouroboros is available in various calibers, finishes (Blued Steel is standard), and barrel lengths straight from the factory, along with a large selection of pistol grips (Including the new stock of vat-grown walnut wood DNA as advertised in the Fall 2072 edition of the "Firearms and Mercs" E-Zine). A number of aftermarket modifications that are available for the Colt Asp are also compatible with the Colt Ouroboros.

Colt Ouroboros:
Damage: 4P/5P
Mode: SA/SS
RC: -
Ammo: 6 (cy)
Availability: 4R
Cost: 200¥

> Yes, it's a Colt design, yes it was extensively tested, yes it's marketed out the wazoo to compete with the Taurus Multi-6. It was also the basis for over two dozen shadowruns to either destroy the design, steal it for Eastern European goverment factories, more to steal it back, five from various arms companies to destroy the files and kill the designers to keep it from market, and a few from Colt just to check their own security. It earns the name Ouroboros well, many 'Runner Teams ate their own tail trying to deal with this firearm.
> Truth

> For once, the conspiracy nutbar is right. Broken analog clocks and all that, I guess. The only jobs I handled (Yes, I did some) was putting it through it's paces under "Deniable Combat Situations", or Shadowruns if you prefer. A few suggestions for design changes were made, including infrared posts on the sights for those who see in that kind of vision to make for easier target acquisition in the dark. About the only place this revolver won't work is underwater. The design is more reliable and available (in North America at least) than the Taurus Multi-6, and it's styling allows it to fit in with a variety of outfits for those that are fashionable (The Matte Black goes well with a Tux or the infamous Little Black Dress, or can be sandblasted and not have a shine for combat situations.). The Steel Ouroboros is coming down the line as well, in solid stainless steel for those that are near high salt concentrations and have to worry about rust. Also good for constant concealed carry as sweat can cause a rusting issue at times.

> Do you work for Colt or something? You sold it better than their marketing shown above!
> Rick O'Shey

> I own stock in Colt, I will admit that. And the marketing above is just a blurb from a much larger spiel. But I got some test models through, um, back channels and tested it personally against the more refined production-model Taurus Multi-6. No comparison, I'm going with the Colt on the rare occasions I carry a revolver. Stock options don't help when you're dead.

I posted this a long time ago. Designed to fall in the category as PeteThe1 said "Some toys still in development and aren't entirely practical, but the corps bring to show off The Gun Of Tomorrow"
