Red Brigade vs Bosnian Nationalists Weapon Preview


Red Brigade Weapons
Benelli M1 Super 90 Shotgun: Developed in the mid-80s, the Benelli M1 was designed to be a shotgun that could be sold to civilian gunshop, law enforcement, and the military. The gun is a very solid piece of equipment: there is the standard stock for more traditional users, as well as a alternate stock & pistol grip combo for more stable shooting. What was most unique about the M1 was the recoil system installed within the gun. Due to the construction of the system, there was little force against the user, and there wasn't much in the way of muzzle climb.

Spectre M4 Submachine Gun: Normally used by police & anti-terrorism forces, the Spectre eventually made it's way into the hands of the Red Brigade. This gun was a lead spewing machine: the Spectre fired up to 850 rounds a minute, and the high capacity (30 or 50 rounds) four column magazines increased the firepower of the Spectre. The Spectre was also very durable, due to it's stamped steel composition, and the bolt of the gun acts as a air pump to prevent the barrel from overheating.

Beretta 501 Sniper Rifle: Designed from the Beretta Sporting Rifle, the Beretta 501 was used by military and police forces in Italy. Although no longer being made and used, it was very useful during it's time. The 501 had the standard iron sights, as well as NATO standard scope mounts, to which a Zeiss Diavari-Z scope was attached. The wooden stock could also be adjusted for the length of pull and for the cheek rest.

Panzerfaust 3 Grenade Launcher: Tracing it's origin back to the Panzerfaust launcher of WW2 and the Pzf-44 Lanze of the 1960s, the Panzerfaust 3 became the German Army's primary explosive launcher. The Red Brigade, through one method or another, got their hands on a few and used them to devastating effect. Unlike the original Panzerfaust, this model had a round already loaded into the tube of the gun. Once the rocket was fired, the tube was taken out, and a new round could be put in and fired. Even more impressive was the built-in rangefinding laser and ballistic computer that allowed for accurate firing.

Bosnian Nationalists Weapons
KS-23 Shotgun: The KS-23 has an interesting history around it. It first saw the light of day in the 1970s, when the Soviets began developing it as a tool for anti-riot squads within the Russian prison system. Even more interesting is the fact that the KS-23 is classified as a Carbine in Russia, despite it's function and ammunition. Nowadays, the gun is used by Russian law enforcement, as well as ex-Soviet territories that became independent states.

PM-84 Submachine Gun: Developed in Poland in the 1980s as a replacement for the expensive PM-63, the PM-84 was made through cheaper methods, but spread around to just about as many countries. The weapon is very compact and light, weighing in at just 1.84 kilograms when unloaded and is only 354mm with the stock & grip folded up. Althought the PM-84 only took 15 or 25 round clips, it's 600 rounds a minute meant that the gun would lay down some decent firepower.

Dragunov Sniper Rifle: In use by the Russians since 1963, the Dragunov is the premiere sniper rifle of the Russian Army. The gun was capable of using any standard 7.62 ammunition, but it was really designed to take advantage of the SVD sniper round. Although the army had the standard version, there were a few others developed for different markets, including the civilian "Tigr" and the "Medved" hunting model, which is actually quite scarce. Despite the various models, all of them were deadly in the hands of a master sniper.

RPG-7 Rocket Launcher: One of the most recognizable rocket launchers in the world today. Adopted by the Soviets back in 1961, the RPG-7 was initially used as an anti-tank weapon. However, numerous other rockets were developed, widening it's purpose to include anti-personelle attacks. A variation of this rocket launcher, the RPG-7D, is a multi-part weapon used by airborne troops (it does the same thing as it's normal version, only this one can be taken apart and put back together).
