Budget Weapons Analysis (PDC 14 <=)

• Pistols:
  • MAS M50 and Ruger Service-Six. Small, 9 and 6 bullets respectively, 2d6 damage, 30 ft range. Most revolvers are very reliable, don't misfire. Tokagypt 58 and TT33 are roughly same, except 8 ammo, and TT33 is very cheap due to PL4.
    • Smith & Wesson 38/200 (.357) from PL4 is also practically equivalent to Ruger Service-Six.
  • Browning High Power from basic set. PL 4. Larger clip, smaller range.
    • Browning High Power from "Weapons Locker" has big magazine and normal range. Still PL4. Best budget small pistol in this case.
  • Tec-9 from basic set fires semi-automatic or automatic, no fire selector. Medium. Has rather large magazine.
    • Not Tec-9 from Weapons Locker. That has fire selector, but non-trivial cost - in which case, it loses to certain other SMG's.
  • CZ 92 and Pathfinder. Tiny, 8 and 6 bullets respectively, 2d4 damage, 20 ft range.
• Longarms:
  • AK-47. It's actually late PL4, so PDC 13 on PL5. A good assault rifle, good for most tasks. Could be main weapon.
  • Thompson M1921. PL4. Better than AK-47 for close range due to enormous magazine, but range is small.
  • Springfield M1903, Winchester 94. PL4. Longer-ranged, 2d10 rifles. No automatic fire. Former is magazine-fed, latter is internal magazine but a little more ammo and a little more range. Most other archaic "Past" rifles are worse than AK-47.
  • Repeating Shotgun. PL4. Working shotgun, but worse than AK-47. Ithaca Model 37 Series has 1 more ammo, but internal magazine - not worth it.
  • More ammo yet Licensed? Winchester 1873 (PL 4) and "Tikka Model 65 Master" ("Modern Playaids: Sniper") may be used. Former has 2d10 and more shots, latter has more range.
