Taw Taw would like to inform you that, if desired, you can order any of
their guns to be retooled for cased rounds before purchase. This reduces the
cost by 1/3, but you must make a downpayment of half the total cost of the 
weapon.

PISTOLS 

TAW TAW .44 REVOLVER · 525 EB

P·+1·J·C·4D6+1(.44MAG)·7·1·VR·50m

One of their first guns to hit the streets was the Taw Taw .44 Revolver. 
Unlike most revolvers, this one actually has 7 chambers in its 'wheel'. 
This, and the fact that it has a great reliability make it a winner.

TAW TAW LONG BARREL · 685 EB

P·+1·L·C·4D6+1(.44MAG)·7·1·VR·65m

Known simply as the Taw Taw Long Barrel, this wheel gun is simply the Taw Taw
.44 Revolver with an extended barrel. Think of it as an built in factory 
option. (No, you cannot extend the barrel any more).

TAW TAW .44 AUTOMATIC · 668 EB

P·0·J·C·4D6+1(.44MAG)·10·1·VR·50m  

This pistol is being contemplated by NCPD as a replacement standard issue 
sidearm. The .44 As a automatic pistol uses latest carbo-ceramic materials 
in the barrel and cooling shroud to shrug off excess heat and thus increase 
reliability. The only problem that people on the street are voicing is that 
with the larger than standard magazine, only those with big hands would 
ever accept it as a sidearm. 

TAW TAW "DUSTER" .357 MAGNUM REVOLVER · 525 EB

P·+1·E·P·2D6+3(.357 MAGNUM)· 6·2·VR·50m

A high quality replica, the "Duster" is an attempt to bring the past back to 
life. Taw Taw, being Texan, have a strong link to the past, as one of the 
founding members of Taw Taw is a great great great nephew of Wyatt Earp. The 
Duster is the revolver depicted in their logo. The weapon isn't cheap. The 
grips are real ivory, not some vat grown imitation. More than a few high 
profile bodyguards are starting to use it as a dress weapon. A nice weapon, 
accurate and reliable, the Duster belongs on your hip.


TAW TAW "SPAWN" MACHINEPISTOL · 1120 EB

PIS/SUB·0·J·P·3D6(11mm)·20·3/20·ST·65m

Taw Taw comes at us again with "Spawn". This machinepistol is capable of 
single, burst or full auto fire! Taw Taw also made sure that you will have 
more suprises up your sleeve, by adding a barrel extension into the equation,
giving you the ability to take down an opponent at an extreme range of 130m!
That's 30m further than standard pistols. When on full auto, this pistol will
make that distinctive 'rattle' of the classic Israeli Uzi. Of course, pistols
were not designed to be fully automatic. To help compensate for barrel heat 
and climb, Taw Taw made the barrel out of the latest high tech ceramic with 
the added bonus of a polymer-cooling shroud. Needless to say, Taw Taw doesn't
recommend that you use the Spawns full auto capability constantly, instead 
they recommend that you give it a rest after two consecutive full auto sprays.

Game notes: Accuracy is at -2 when firing on full auto. After two rounds of 
full auto, reliability drops down to UR, continuing to fire full auto in the
4 round the Spawn will automatically jam on a fumble and you must roll to see
if it breaks.


DERRINGERS

One of the latest lines from Taw Taw is the 'Derringer' collection. This line,
also known as the 'Last Option Holdouts', allows operatives to conceal another
weapon on their person. So far five have been produced, and Taw Taw awaits to
see how the public reacts to this 'near forgotten' firearm configuration. Of
the five, one uses 20 Gauge shotgun shells, another uses Electrothermal 
Enhancement!!


TAW TAW "BOOTHILL" DERRINGER · 120 EB

P·+1·P·C·1D6+1(6mm)·2·2·VR·25m


TAW TAW "APACHE" DERRINGER · 180 EB

P·0·P·C·2D6+1(9mm)·2·2·ST·25m


TAW TAW "BISON" DERRINGER · 250 EB

P·-1·P·P·3D6/1D6+2(20 GAUGE)·1·1·ST·25m


TAW TAW "DEFIANCE" DERRINGER PEPPERBOX · 235 EB 

P·0·P·R·1D6+1(6mm)·2·2/4·ST·25m


TAW TAW "EXPRESS" DERRINGER · 350 EB

P·0· P·P·3D6+1(9mmETE)·2·2·ST·38m


SUBMACHINE GUNS 

TAW TAW "VENTILATOR" MEDIUM SUBMACHINE GUN · 1700 EB

SMG·+1·J·C·2d6+3(10mm)·50·20·VR·200m

The Ventilator. A new weapon brought to you from the folks at Taw Taw. 
Modern cero-steel construction. Large banana style clip. Built in under 
barrel mini-grin. Bayonet lug. Bullet trap. Reliable. Dependable. Trust your
life to it. It can handle the pressure. Can you?

Game notes: The mini-grin is the same as the Militech Mini-grenade Launcher 
in CB I, pg 46. This is the underbarrel pump model version. The bullet trap 
is for the 25mm pistol grenades, for when your UB Pump Grin Launcher has lost
its voice. Just remember to select single fire mode. If Smart, for an 
additional 500 Eb, you can have sensors added that will automatically select 
single shot mode when a pistol grenade has been fitted.

Also see the Spawn machine pistol above.

Rifles 

TAW TAW LONGARM · 756 EB

RIF·+1·N·P·6D6+1(7.62mm)·3/30·VR·400m  

Taw Taw know their guns. Take their rifle. It uses traditional 7.62mm Rounds
used in assault rifles for decades. It also takes advantage of modern plastic
technology to make a lighter weapon. Barrel rise is countered by superior 
barrel porting and gas expulsion systems. With a 30 round clip and the 
capability of firing the entire clip, soldiers and mercs around the world 
are taking a shine to the Taw Taw longarm (no more left over rounds when 
firing on full auto, just an empty clip).

Note that when fired on full auto, the reliability drops to ST as the firing 
mechanism tends to retain a little heat. Taw Taw plan to release a new model 
next year that will remedy this problem.


NINJA HIGH TECH · 2150 EB (ADD 500 EB FOR SMART CHIPPING)

RIF·0/2·N·P4D6+1(12mm)·30·30·VR·400m

A high powered version of the original Militech Ninja, the High Tech, under 
licence from Militech, follows the same design philosophy, a reliable 
caseless design with no moving parts and an integral silencer with a fully 
plastic magazine and electrical firing pin which makes it just as silent as 
the original Ninja. With technology moving in leaps and bounds, we decided 
to throw in more electronic goodies - the Ninja High Tech is covered with 
Militech's M73 "Mirage Gear" Environmental Assimilation Shief, bio-electronics
 - so that no metal detector will detect it, and is easily smart chipped. 
A must for black ops.

(Note: the Ninja is optimised for single shots, the 0 accuracy is for bursts 
and full auto)


TAW TAW "LUCIFER" SNIPER RIFLE · 1800 EB (2500 EB SMART)

RIF·+2·N·R·7D10(14.5mm)·1·1·VR·1200m

This baby lives up to its name. Using 14.5mm Rounds, the "Lucifer" is a 'one 
hit' wonder. Based on the old sniper maxim "One shot, One kill", Lucifer aims
to please. Lucifer is almost unique in this day and age, being that it a bolt
action rifle with no magazine. To load the rifle, you remove the slide action
bolt, place the round in the bolt and slide it home in the chamber, locking it
into place. Some claim that the weapon is not worth it as it has no magazine 
to facilitate quick reloading. In the hands of a skilled sniper, you only 
need one shot. On the side of the weapon is an ammo rack that will hold five 
additional rounds for a quicker reloading than fumbling around in your ammo 
pouch, if you really need it. Lucifer comes with a scope from hell. In 
includes; 18x scope, range finder, image enhancement (+2 awareness), low lite
and thermograph. Two versions are available, standard, and a smart version is
available as well. With a built in silencer and flash suppressor and a range
of over one klick, marksmen are starting to look to Taw Taw to provide.  
Available in cased version only.

TAW TAW "MEPHISTO" SNIPER RIFLE. · 850 EB 

RIF·+3·N·R·5D6(7mm)·30·1/3·VR·900m

This is the latest rifle produced by Taw Taw, and is yet another sniper rifle.
The Mephisto has a fully floating barrel, hydroshock compensation in the stock,
fully adjustable handgrip and stock furniture. It is a big departure from 
their other sniper rifle, the Luicfer. The Lucifer is fully capable of taking
out lightly armored vehicles, whereas the Mephisto is purely an anti-personnel
weapon. It has a good accuracy due to the floating barrel and fully adjustable
furniture. The standard scope has a 10x power teleoptics and image enhancement.
It has a universal scope mount and can thus accept all manner of scopes, 
including the one from the Lucifer. It still hasn't got full auto 
capabilities, but that doesn't seem to be slowing down sales...

SHOTGUNS 

TAW TAW "HORNET" SHOTGUN · 225 EB

SHT· 0·L·C·4D6+2(12 GAUGE)·5·1·ST·50m

This lever action shotgun is fairly standard when it comes to shotguns. With
a five round tubular mag. This shotgun is an uncommon weapon, as it is a modern
lever action. Something unheard of to most people. Taw Taw chose this design 
philosophy to match the "Duster". This is the other weapon on their logo. 

TAW TAW "ENFORCER" AUTOMATIC SHOTGUN · 600 EB

SHT·0·P·N·4D6+2(12 GAUGE)·25·25·ST·50m

This nasty weapon is a fully automatic shotgun, not a nice concept. What 
makes this one stand out is that it is optimised to fire fletchette rounds, 
including the infamous fragmentation fletchettes! When firing fletchettes, 
the acc. increases to +1. That and the ability to empty its clip in less 
than 3 seconds is why the military are expressing an interest in it for 
'room sweeps'.

HEAVY WEAPONS 

TAW TAW "HIVE" FULLY AUTOMATIC MICROMISSILE LAUNCHER · 1450 EB

HVY·+2·N·R·4D6(MICROMISSILE)·20·10·ST·200m 

Under licence from Militech, this design was inspired from the Militech Urban
Missile Launcher. Taw Taw saw potential for a full auto version and this is 
the result. Named the "Hydra", the micromissile launcher  has been upsized 
to accommodate a larger accompaniment of missiles and the capability to fire 
lots of them at once. Which makes this weapon excellent for area denial as 
the heat seeking missiles will re-acquire the target if the initial shot 
misses. Multiply that by 10 and you have one hell of a swarm! (See Chrome II
pg49 for micromissiles)


TAW TAW "GORGON" FULLY AUTOMATIC GRENADE LAUNCHER · 2250 EB

HVY·-1·N·R·VAR.(40mm GRENADE)·25·10·VR·800m

You heard right, a man-portable fully automatic grenade launcher! This 
monster fires 40mm grenades, but don't expect to load any old type o' grenade.
It requires a special type of grenade to take advantage of the full auto 
aspect. Although you can use standard 40mm GL rounds, rate of fire is reduced
to 1. And don't even think of using standard grenades... Aside from that, you
can launch all kinds of grenades, fragmentation,  flare, smoke, white 
phosphorus, fletchettes, including he dual-purpose tank smashing rounds 
(see Maximum Metal pg 77 for grenades). To use this puppy, you have to be 
built like a MBT (BOD 12). So you can expect to see this weapon in the hands 
of you teams 'pigman'. Even so, it automatically lowers your encumbrance by 2.
Grenades cost 100 eb each.



TAW TAW "THUNDER" SEMI-AUTOMATIC GRENADE LAUNCHER · 1500 EB

HVY·0·N·P·VAR.(40mm GRENADE)·12·2·ST·600m 

This is a grenade launcher with a difference. Instead of being a single shot,
or mag/drum fed, this launcher is styled like a gigantic revolver. While 
requiring two hands to use, the grenades are loaded into a rotating 'wheel' 
slug under the body of the weapon. As a grenade is launched, the wheel 
automatically revolves to chamber the next round. To increase its charm, the 
Thunder uses the same grenades that the Gorgon does. As an added feature, 
different grenades can be loaded at once, choosing a different round lowers 
ROF to 1. If smart rigged, you can change the round without lowering the ROF.
Due to the bulk of the weapon, it lowers encumbrance by 1.(Inspired by Arnies
smoke grenade launcher out of T2)

TAW TAW "BALROG" HEAVY FLAMETHROWER · 1700 Eb

HVY·-1·N·R·2D10+2·10·1·ST·60m

When you hear the word 'BALROG', do you think of a large winged form, covered
in searing hot scarlet scales, wielding a flaming whip? A creature, a Prince
from the very bowels of Hell. A Damonic figure from the pages from the best 
horror authors best novels? Or does it make you think of the back-mounted 
unit you carried into battle in the Central American Conflict. A weapon you 
used to great effect on the guerillas in the jungle. During the night raids 
when you penetrated the perimeter of a drug cartel and flamed their 'produce'
into so much ash?


Well, then do we have an item that will bring those memories flooding back. 
"Balrog" is the latest flamer to hit the markets. But it's hard to improve 
on something like a flamer. Make it smaller, maybe a higher temp fuel, or 
perhaps squease a bit more range out. Well, that's what exactly we've done, 
as well as increasing your longevity by upping the armor of the tanks to 
SP 20, both types of fire, weapons and the real thing. Don't say we don't 
look after you. 

Note: Because of the weight of the tanks, using the Balrog imposes a -2 
penalty to encumbrance.

EXOTIC 


TAW TAW "SERPENT" MONO-WIRE LAUNCHER   

RIF·-1·L·R·2D6(5" MONO-WIRE)·14·2·ST·10m · 750 EB.

P·-1·J·R·2D6(5" MONO-WIRE)·7·1·ST·5m · 450 EB.

This twisted piece of work fires a length of mono-wire from an internal spool.
The actual gun is based upon mass driver designs, much like a railgun. When 
fired the gun measures and cuts a segment of 'wire and then expels the length
of wire (5 inches long) using electromagnets. When the actual 'wire is cut, 
the rear end of the wire is flanged out to the sides to help stabilise it in 
flight, much like the flights of an arrow. The spool of mono-wire is also 
memory impregnated (at human body temp.) So that when it enters the target, 
the length of mono-wire twists into an irregular spiral shape, like a bent 
corkscrew. This shortens the piece of wire to about half its length. 
Needless to say, this is a bugger to remove. While it hasn't got much of a 
range (extreme 20m), if you have one of these things, you'll be packing one 
hell of a party popper! One spool of mono-wire (approx. 2m) provides enough 
for 14 'shots' and costs 130 eb. 

Removing the coil of mono-wire is no cakewalk. If simply pulled out, an 
additional 1d6+2 damage is inflicted, BTM not withstanding! This damage is 
assumed to be applied to the area shot and to any instrument/fingers used. 
If removed either by someone skilled in First Aid or Medtech, the difficulty
to remove the piece of 'wire is 25. 

Also available in a pistol version (extreme range 10m), spools for this 
provide 7 'shots' and cost 65 be. 

The battery packs cost 10 EB each, and have 50 'shots'. Both the rifle and 
pistol versions use the same battery.
 
Remember that when dealing with mono-wire to reduce armor values to 1/3rd. 

TAW  TAW "BANSHEE" SONIC RIFLE · 2300 EB

EXOTIC·0·N·R·SPECIAL·6·1/2·ST·50m

One of the more unusual weapons made by Taw Taw is this sonic rifle. 
Utilizing a high powered speaker made from superconductors, and channelled 
through cyclic magnetic coils; this rifle can cause serious damage to the 
human body. The sound the Banshee generates is in the ultra-sonic range, and
thus can't be heard by an un-augmented human ear. But this doesn't stop the 
Banshee from being effective, not in the least. The Banshee has a spread 
pattern much like a shotgun, being able to hit several targets at once, but 
the potency of the Banshee isn't effected by range. 
	
When a person is hit by the Banshee [locations are irrelevant with the 
Banshee], they must make a Very Difficult BOD to avoid disorientation, 
headaches and nausea/vomiting. If they pass the check they are only 
debilitated for 1D6 rounds [-4 to all actions during this time]. If they 
failed by 1-3, they are incapacitated for 1D6+1 rounds [REF and MA reduced 
to 1 during this time]. If they failed by 4+ they are reduced to 
unconsciousness for 1d6 minutes].

Note that unlike the Arasaka "Nauseator", the target needs only to be "hit" 
once. If the target is within short range, they receive a -2 penalty to the 
BOD check. If at point blank range, the target faces a -6 penalty to the 
BOD check and if they fail, they receive 1D6 points of damage [damaged 
eardrums], armor and BTM not withstanding - and have a 50% chance of going 
deaf, permanently! At the very least the will develop a bad case of tinnitus. 
The Banshee receives its power from a liquid cell battery that is placed 
where you'd expect to find the ammo clip in a modern firearm, and costs 25 eb.
Sound Editing and or a Level Dampner nullify the Banshee's effects.

Also available is a backpack style liquid cell battery that will increase the
number of shots to 30. This unit has an effective encumbrance of 2 and costs
200 Eb. Connected to magazine port on rifle by a high capacity cable with a 
mag clip connection.

ACCESSORIES 

BAYONET CHAINKNIFE · 400eb

MELEE·0·L·P·3D6·-·-·ST

Under licence to IMI, this chainknife has a 'blade' 1 1/2 foot long, which 
can also be used as a bayonet for your rifles. The special bayonet lug 
needed for the chain knife costs 100 eb, this is so that you can switch the 
'knife on from near the rifle's trigger guard, eliminating the need to reach 
forward to turn it on. The battery is still placed in the hilt of the 'knife. 
Remember, it's treated as armor piercing, and soft armors are reduced 2 
points per hit!

UNDERBARREL "DAEMON" FLAMETHROWER · 750eb

HVY·0·-·P·3D6(Napalm)·4·1·ST·10m

Under licence to Kendachi, the "Daemon" is the worlds first underbarrel 
flame thrower. Using a high temperature adhesive fuel sprayed under high 
pressure, this weapon makes for a good close up 'deterrent'. After all, who 
wants to become a crispy critter?

Game Notes: Will effect 2 random body areas, 1st round, 1d6 to one area 2nd 
round. Only hard armor, or soft armor of 15+ will protect the target, as 
will fireproof clothing (duh). All soft armors will be damaged two levels 
instead of one.

UNDERBARREL STROBE LIGHT · 350eb

HVY·0·-·P·SPECIAL·15·1·ST·20m

Roll as normal to hit. A hit forces the target to roll beneath his REF-4 so 
as to avoid being blinded. "Head" shots add another -2 penalty to the victims
roll. Blindness lasts for 3 rounds. Antidazzle is 100% proof vs the effects. 
Black Ops teams beware, however, the strobes not insignificant flash is 
visible from several hundred metres and, though, silent, could well give 
you away... 

UNDERBARREL NEEDLER · 250eb

HVY·0·-·P·DRUG/POISON·10·2·ST·40m

Under licence from Avante, the Needler fires slivers of carbo-plastics 
that carry a payload of drugs or neuraltoxins. A good secondary weapon, 
especially if your target is worth more alive than dead. Will not penetrate 
hard armor, and soft armor of 5 SP or over.


AMMUNITION

TAW TAW LOW EXPLOSIVE HIGH YIELD DETONATING ROUNDS  [LEHYD]

Released at the same time as the opening of the corporation, these military 
grade rounds are yet another thing to avoid in combat. Upon impact, these 
rounds explode. Damage is equal to the damage done by a normal round, 
however the first half is applied directly to any armor worn, (double if 
soft armor!) And the other half is then applied to the target (armor reduces 
this damage as normal). Unlike explosive rounds, these rounds do not have 
any noticeable area of effect.  Cannot be used by pistols, and fully 
automatic weapons. Otherwise known as 'Mr Hyde'.

Cost: x50! Needless to say that these rounds are extremely illegal! Need a 
very difficult Streetdeal roll, or a near impossible Streetwise roll. If 
available at all.
