Scorpion Stinger v9: The Stinger was the Scorpion corporation’s first successful venture into the weapons market, the v9 being the latest evolution along a critically successful path. The Stinger is a small lightweight handgun made of reinforced plastics firing a low caliber shell. Highly accurate the Stinger is capable of fully automatic fire while still sustaining low recoil. Its true strength lies in its advanced design that greatly reduces the noise of this weapon, this can be further improved through a silencer enhancement either attached independently or brought as part of the weapon in the Stinger Advanced. Easily the fastest firing handgun on the market the stingers only real shortcoming is its inability to pierce body armor, despite this it is a popular weapon of choice for both government agents and mob hit men who don’t wish to be heard.

Electro ThunderRaven: Static Tech, the makers of the EEB made a stunning entrance into the market with this superbly popular weapon. The ThunderRaven is a large sized handgun made of polymetal that fires a medium sized caliber shell; additionally it also runs on a medium volt energy cell. When activated the ThunderRaven hums lightly as the weapon forms a small electric charge, when fired this charge energizes the bullets and fires it out of the weapon with increased velocity. Through this weapons unique design it is capable of possibly penetrating various forms of light armor, and is also capable of fully automatic fire although with only the first few shots holding reliable accuracy. This weapon, though expensive sees popular use in the hands of soldiers and corporate guards.

Sphere Hawk Mark X: Sphere Inc designed the Sphere Hawk under the belief that bigger is better. This large heavy gun is constructed out of polymetal reinforced with Toreliem and houses a large extended barrel. As expected the Sphere Hawk fires high caliber bullets with considerable force with the sole intention of blowing a hole in whatever it hits, and is capable of piercing some forms of body armor. Though capable of semi-automatic fire the small clip and heavy recoil of the weapon prohibit use of this feature. Commonly used by individuals who want their gun to pack a true punch and to put the fear of god into any would-be opponent.

Ionic Pulser: The Pulser is a lightweight energy weapon designed by TechSonic; it possesses a sleek long narrow barrel and consists of the usual polymetal. When fired, in either burst or automatic, its energy core flares rapidly unleashing a barrage of small green destruction balls that explode on impact, the weapon possesses nearly no recoil and due to energy efficiency houses a long lasting clip. Most often used by law enforcement or would be street thugs.

Trition Enforcer: The Trition Corporation designed this gun to be used by law enforcement but discovered it held equal popularity in the hands of soldiers on distant worlds. A medium weight hand gun with a thick barrel the Trition Enforcer fired a solid energy bolt into its target like a small dagger and is popular for its ability to pierce some types of armor and carapaces. When fired the highly accurate Enforcer makes a crackling noise before unleashing its glowing energy bolt at the rate of 1 per second, which combined with its armor piercing value many find more than sufficient.

TechSonic Banshee: A crowning achievement for TechSonic the Banshee is arguably the most powerful handgun in all of the Federation. A broad weapon the Banshee actually has four short barrels slightly angled inwards towards each other and its handgrip is designed to be used with both hands due to its considerable kick back. When activated the Banshee lets out a high pitch noise that steadily climbs to a hum as the weapon charges, it takes a good 30 seconds for the weapon to be charged and a full minute for it to reach maximum potential. When fired it unleashes a droning screech and bright flash as all four barrels fire a stream of energy into each other, the streams merge and fires as a larger blue orb of raw destructive force. Upon impact the target is wracked with vibrations and intense burning. Slow charging this weapon is seldom used on its own but many soldiers favor it as a secondary weapon for softening up larger foes.

Ingen Needlegun: Originally designed by the Ingen Corporation as a way to allow field medics to quickly and effectively supply medical attention to combat patients. This lightweight plastic handgun contains an 8 round clip of pre-filled needles that the medic could quickly place against a patients neck or arm and fire in the necessary dose. Using an advanced air compression system the Ingen Needlegun is capable of silently firing its needles over a short distance, due to the customizable nature of the needles contents it has also enjoyed popular use in the hands of Bounty Hunters, Mobsters as well as field medics.
