The demand for new weapons has kept Tsunami Arms' designers busy for the past year, but their efforts have finally paid off in a new group of firearms capable of solving any problem. From pistols to grenade launchers, TSA has a weapon for any occasion... and a few more than that, too.

TSA-58 Viper 10mm Machine Pistol / Laser: Taking the basic action of the Snake and adapting it for fully automatic fire, the designers at TSA have come up with yet another winner - the Viper. Small, reliable and powerful, the Viper is quickly becoming a weapon of choice for urban bodyguards and special forces operatrives. Comes with an underbarrel laser.

• Weight:3.3 lbs.
• Mega-Damage:
• 1 MD per single shot
• 1D4 MD per 3-round burst
• 10-round burst: 2D6
• 30-round burst: 5D6+6 (2 attacks)
• Laser: 2D4 per shot
• Range: Pistol - 600 feet / Laser - 400 feet
• Rate of Fire: Pistol - see Mega-Damage / Laser - equal to the number of hand-to-hand attacks
• Payload: Pistol - 30-round magazine / Laser - 15 shots per E-clip (grip-mounted, short only)
• Market Cost: 17,000 credits credits
• Reloads: 100 credits per full clip

TSA-59 Basilisk 12.5mm Machine Pistol / Laser: Similar in design to the Viper but chambered for the 12.5mm caseless round, the Basilisk has already proven itself to be one of the most desired weapons in TSA history. With its compact size and powerful round, the Basilisk packs a tremendous punch.

• Weight: 5.6 lbs.
• Mega-Damage:
• 1D4 per shot
• 10-round burst: 3D6
• 30-round burst: 6D6
• Laser: 2D4 per shot

TSA-400 Armanoc 0.8mm Wire Rifle: A unique development in firearms history, the Armanoc rifle is named for its inventor, a former CS captain named Joseph Armanoc. He conceived the idea of taking a spool of prestressed wire and magnetically accelerating it to hypersonic velocities, much like a railgun. The wire is made of depleted uranium, resulting in extremely dense projectiles for their size. The acceleration would fracture the wire into snippets 4 centimeters long; when fired in 10-meter lengths, this would create a line of lethal flechettes capable of penetrating almost any body armor and even some power armor. Wound in a 500-meter spool with its own power source, the ammunition is extremely effective... and expensive. The Armanoc comes equipped with a telescopic sight (+2 to strike). Note - This weapon has been placed on the CS "banned" list.

• Weight: 7.3 lbs.
• Mega-Damage: 1D6 per 10-meter burst of wire, plus on body armor with less than 100 MDC, penetration is automatic, and the occupant takes 2D6x10 SDC from the wire snippets that penetrate his body. On armor from 101 to 200 MDC, there is a 50% chance of penetration, and on armor with 201 to 250 MDC there is just a 10% chance of penetration (which means this weapon can penetrate light power armor, such as the NG Samson and the old-style SAMAS).
• Range: 1200 feet
• Rate of Fire: single bursts only
• Payload: 50 10-meter bursts (500 meters)
• Market Cost: 58,000 credits - very rare!
• Reloads: 12,500 credits per fully loaded and charged clip. Non-reloadable.

TSA-402 Zipper 0.8mm Wire Carbine: A shortened version of the Armanoc, the Zipper was designed for easier handling and better balance for quick deployment. The Zipper can be easily concealed under a trenchcoat or similar garment.

• Weight: 6.3 lbs.
• Mega-Damage: 1D6 per 10-meter burst of wire, plus on body armor with less than 100 MDC, penetration is automatic, and the occupant takes 2D6x10 SDC from the wire snippets that penetrate his body. On armor from 101 to 200 MDC, there is a 50% chance of penetration, and on armor with 201 to 250 MDC there is just a 10% chance of penetration (which means this weapon can penetrate light power armor, such as the NG Samson and the old-style SAMAS).
• Range: 1000 feet
• Rate of Fire: single bursts only
• Payload: 50 10-meter bursts (500 meters)
• Market Cost: 55,000 credits - very rare!
• Reloads: 12,500 credits per fully loaded and charged clip. Non-reloadable.

TSA-405 Sidewinder 0.8mm Wire Rifle / Laser: An improvement on the original Armanoc, the Sidewinder adds a laser weapon to the original package, resulting in a more versatile weapon that is finding extensive use against the CS on the battlefields of Tolkeen.

• Weight: 8.2 lbs.
• Mega-Damage: 1D6 per 10-meter burst of wire, plus on body armor with less than 100 MDC, penetration is automatic, and the occupant takes 2D6x10 SDC from the wire snippets that penetrate his body. On armor from 101 to 200 MDC, there is a 50% chance of penetration, and on armor with 201 to 250 MDC there is just a 10% chance of penetration (which means this weapon can penetrate light power armor, such as the NG Samson and the old-style SAMAS).
• Range: 1200 feet / Laser - 2000 feet
• Rate of Fire: single bursts only / Laser - equal to hand-to-hand attacks
• Payload: 50 10-meter bursts (500 meters) / Laser - 15 per short E-clip
