A quick browse of the N3 core book showed me a "Franco-Germanique Armements PD-7 Detour" is the apparent name of the ALEPH pistol, YuJing weapons are apparently known by Type number, the Type 6.7 Spitfire and 4.2 Combi-Rifle being mentioned, and there's mention of the PanO HMG being the "CineticS Tausug". So, to the points 1 - Does anyone know any other names of weapon models in Infinity, either that I didn't see or were in older books/other sources? 2 - If there's something without a name do you think it should have one?
There's a lot in the Art Book. PanO MultiHMG is the CineticS Lunan. Yu Jing Combi is the YunGang Type 4.2 (regardless of add-ons like LFT or LGL) YJ Assault Pistol is the YunGang Type 2.7 YJ pistol is the YunGang Type 2.5 Ariadna ADHL is the Praxitec LC Fangeisten Ariadna sniper is the AKNovy Zmeya Ariadna APHMG is the AKNovy Molot Ariadna T2 rifle is the AKNovy Burya Haqq Spitfire is the Askari AS Fateh Haqq Viral Sniper is the Askari AS Engerek Haqq Viral Rifle is the Askari AS Orumcek Nomad hacking device is the Bodysoft HT-31 Nomad multisniper is the FGA SMR-2 Pranke Nomad boarding shotgun is the FGA FS-5 Klapper Aleph combi is the Italeri de Precisione IPF-Dardo Aleph pistol is the FGA PD-7 Tohaa combirifle is the Iriista Luvo-100 (Luvo Ma-El) Tohaa viral combi is the Iriista Luvo-400 (Luvo Mo-El) Tohaa HMG is the Iriista Caalmur-60 (Caalmur Da-El) underbarrel ADHL (as in Father Sforza) is a Praxitec LC Csapda Chain Rifle is a YunGang Type 9.0
Going back to the N2 book. Ariadna have AKNovy doing most of their stuff: (the Ojotnik (Okhotnik - the 'j' is a Spanish J, not an English or germanic one, closer to a "kh" and it's written in cyrillic in the n2 book as "охотник") is by them so are the.Prascha Light Grenade launcher, They also have the nomad Praxitec LC Fangeisten ADHL and the the Zharovnye light flamethrower, YJ have a couple of companies doing it; Yungang (Type 9.0 chain rifle, Type 7.6 Sniper rifle, combi rifle as listed by Section9) and Gangtie do the Type 1.3 mine, and Xingtai type 1.8 Grenade. Haqq have the Askari weapons (A5 Bourkan HMG,A5 Sayyad Rifle+light shotgun, A5 Ghazal panzerfaust) PanO have the CineticS Radjun multi-rifle, Switec Gurges HRMC, Switec Pertinax Smart ML The old nomad combi rifle was the FGA SG-9 Alraun. the assault pistol on the gecko pilot is an FGA PK-8 Krupp

One of the interesting things about the weapons breakdown in the RPG is that PanOceanian manufacturers are producing all the small arms being used by PanOceania, ALEPH and the Nomads, as well as a reasonable number of the heavy weapons for Haqqislam. Obvious exceptions, like the Chain Rifle (and, I assume, smoke grenades) being obvious.
I wouldn't be surprised if PanO do make all the smoke grenades. They're only just learning how to use the Feuerbach they invented.
Out of curiosity is there any slight difference between weapons of the same type (combi, HMG, etc.) in the RPG that isn't portrayed in Infinity proper? always wondered if it would be worth the rules bloat and memory needed to add a damage point here or some to hit modifier there between different factions weapons.
Nope. A combi is a combi in the RPG too. It does offer a wider variety of weapons and you can get some combinations that you can't in the game (like a T2 HMG). I really think the added rules bloat would not be worth the hassle of making a PanO combi differ from a Nomad combi that differs from a Morat combi. However, for the RPG it's fairly easy if the DM wants to create these differences themselves.
No, you're almost certainly right... sometimes a man just dreams that a Pan-o combi might have some improved gyros or other fancy bits...
That's how superpowers roll. The US and Russia had and have a habit of handing weapons over to people who aren't allies but don't like the other guy much either... Well, look at the G3, FAL, and M14, or even more modern weapons like the FN SCAR-H(Mk17) and HK417. What are the differences between them? Quite a few - sights, weight, ergonomics, barrel length, mount systems, age, cost, etc. But do they basically all shoot the same and fire the same round? More or less, as far as the average soldier is concerned. All of them are 7.62 NATO rifles, all can defeat the same targets, have the same basic ranges and capabilities, but they're different in ways that don't really matter much even to an RPG unless it's worrying about equipment weight and the like.
Indeed! Modern combat rifles seem more or less... the same in-game stats. Also perhaps less and less likely we'd see any faction advance much farther ahead than any other in terms of a standard infantry firearm. I'd argue the last time we did see a real difference between what an average soldier of various would carry in terms of actual firepower was WW2. And this is mostly because some armies had much better access to semi and fully automatic weapons whereas others almost exclusively had bolt action rifles (as well as support weapons).
Well, as one of the top comments mentioned, Tohaa weapons grow to match their bearer's hands, so they are more comfortable to use [emoji14]
What I'm getting from this is that my Aleph needs K1 Combi Rifles and HRMCs, immediately. No, but this is really cool - that most CineticS weapons can do underwater operations, when PanO has aquatic troopers, and that most Haqq weapons have better cooling (and I assume, dust-handling capabilities) for operations in the desert, and that almost everyone has ripped off a Nomad weapon or two at some point, but Yu Jing's companies have really doubled down on doing so. That Ariadnan weapons weren't originally designed to work in vacuum (of course not, why would they be, Dawn never had the chance to set up serious orbital infrastructure, and although the humans of Dawn did squabble, they always had the threat of the Antipodes hanging over their heads, so they likely had less than zero interest in fighting with infantry over what limited orbital assets they had), and that PanO does the superpower thing of supplying weapons to everyone (including JSA, from what the recent models show). Really brings the world alive.
More or less every firearm ever built will work in a vacuum, the oxygen they burn is in the gunpowder, the yarost is more likely a reference to Vera in Firefly than any practical or realistic reason.
Yeah, they'll work in a vacuum - for the first few shots, before you have real problems with ammo cookoff because the barrel can't cool fast enough with only radiative cooling - especially with caseless ammo, unless the Human Sphere's caseless ammo is something we can't even conceive of yet. 'Cos radiative cooling sucks compared to the convection that is a firearm's main form of cooling in atmo, so vacuum-capable firearms will need something to assist them for sustained fire - whether that's heat sinks, that will allow normal operation only until they're saturated with heat, and are almost necessarily heavy, or improved radiative properties to make the most of what little cooling the weapon can get, but still won't give the kinds of performance you'd get in atmo, or coolant lines spread throughout the gun, possibly with external hookups to go to an environment suit's life support unit, since that will already be handling a lot of cooling, or something else, vacuum-capable firearms are going to need something - and as an added benefit, most of the possible approaches will improve their cooling when used inside an atmosphere too, allowing for better performance there than earlier designs. This also holds true for thin-atmosphere celestial bodies. Mars, for example, isn't a vacuum, but there still isn't enough atmosphere for a decent amount of convection, so any firearm used there will be mostly relying on radiative cooling still. It would be better off than in orbit, or interplanetary space, but not by enough to get the kinds of performance you get in a livable atmosphere.
