| Saber | +2 | 1d6 | Reach 1 | $15 | 1lb. | Melee | |
Thompson 1928: Two handed weapon. Fires .45ACP and is the ubiquitous “spray and pray” weapon.
Ka-Bar: One handed weapon. A knife. Hopefully bigger than the other guy’s.
Saber: One handed weapon. If it was good enough for John Paul Jones, it’s good enough for you.
Simple Ranged
| Weapon | Prof. | Damage | Range | Price | Weight | Group | Properties |
| Colt M1911A1 | +3 | 1d6 | 5/15 | $25 | 2lb. | Pistol | 6 Shots, Load Minor, Versatile, Silenced |
Colt 1911A1: One handed weapon. Fires .45ACP and brings a lot of bang for such a small package.
Military Melee
| Weapon | Prof. | Damage | Range | Price | Weight | Group | Properties |
| M12 Winchester | +2 | 1d12 | Reach 2 | $25 | 2lb. | Shotgun | 6 Shots, Load Standard, Brutal 2 |

M1912 Winchester: Two handed weapon. Fires 12 gauge, 00 buck (aka God’s one and only round). If this can’t kill it, it wasn’t meant to die.
M1918 BAR: Two handed weapon. Fires .30-06 cartridges. If you’re going to bring a gun, bring enough gun.
Military Ranged
| Weapon | Prof. | Damage | Range | Price | Weight | Group | Properties |

| M1 Carbine | +3 | 1d8 | 15/30 | $50 | 4lb. | Rifle | 15 Shots, Load Minor |
M1 Garand: Two handed weapon. Fires .30-06 cartridges. General Patton called this the greatest battle implement ever devised. He’s probably right.
M1 Carbine: Two handed weapon. Fires .30 Carbine cartridges. Though it bears no relation to the other M1, this is compact rifle merges form and function.
Superior Melee
| Weapon | Prof. | Damage | Range | Price | Weight | Group | Properties |

M2 Flamethrower: Two handed weapon. Uses a backpack canister of jellied petroleum that can last a whole engagement. It gives the phrase “give ‘em hell boys” a new meaning, but presents a large explosive target.
Superior Ranged
| Weapon | Prof. | Damage | Range | Price | Weight | Group | Properties |
| M1903 Springfield | +3 | 1d12 | 30/50 | $75 | 7lb. | Rifle | 1 Shot, Load Minor, High Crit |
