GURPS CYBERPUNK WEAPONS CONVERSIONS
for Cyberpunk 2020

ABOUT THE WEAPONS

GURPS Cyberpunk weapons are easily converted to CP2020 format. Most are 9mm,
although there are a few odd calibers like 9mm high-power, 5.5mm long, and
7.7mm rifle, which I’ve occasionally had to guestimate damage for. Except
where otherwise noted, assume that all weapons given below are caseless. Any
of these weapons may be smartlinked; standard price increases apply.

The author does not condone use of all of these weapons in a CP2020
campaign. Hell, I think some of them are pretty overpowered. However, in the
interests of neutrality, I’ve decided to present almost everything, keep the
conversions as faithful to the original sourcebook as possible, and let you
pick and choose what you want according to the needs of your campaign.

NOTE ON WEAPON ACCURACY

If a weapon is listed as having “integral sights,” i.e. telescopic, laser,
or whatever, the weapon’s WA reflects that (generally at +1 WA per sight).
The WA does not reflect integral smartchipping, since unchipped users may
want to fire the weapon too. Weapons with a base WA of +1 or +2 are simply
very accurate weapons, and the WA may be increased with sights and
smartchipping as normal.

PISTOLS

MoskArms Sport-Pyat    P +2 L P 1D6 (5mm) 20 1/3 ST 100m 150eb

This Russian-made sporting pistol is built for comfortable, accurate
shooting. It is rather bulky for concealment purposes because of its 200mm
extension barrel, which increases accuracy and range, but makes the weapon
almost impossible to hide. Changing the extension barrel to a standard one
(20eb) reduces accuracy to 0, range to 50m, but increases concealability to
P. (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

SOG Feder  P +1 P P 1D6+2 (7mm) 7 1/3 VR 50m 200eb

The Feder is a tidy little hideaway weapon (V.Diff to spot). With a short
(by modern standards) magazine of 7mm rounds, it is not much use against an
armored opponent. Its use of new plastics specifically designed to elude
modern weapons detectors and highly efficient gas venting to reduce its
signature for chemical detectors is controversial (-2 to scanner detection
rolls), but explains its popularity in some circles. (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

SOG StrassenShutz  P +1 P P 2D6 (9mm short) 20 1/3 VR 50m 250eb

Schneider-Oranien Gesellshaft is an up-and-coming German manufacturer of
civilian and sporting arms. While their military hardware is less advanced
than the weapons produced by Fabrique Europa, SOG weapons are popular with
local police and third world armed forces. The StrassenShutz (Street
Protector) is light and easily concealable. It fires a 9mm short round that
some critics charge is too feeble to be worth much in a fight. (GURPS
Cyberworld 102)

Smith & Wesson Urban Defender  P 0 J C 2D6+1 (9mm) 20 1/3 VR 50m 300eb

The Urban Defender is one of the most widely carried civilian firearms in
the U.S.: sturdy, reliable, and reasonably priced. (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

MoskArms Russki-9   P +2 J P 2D6+1 (9mm) 20 1/3 ST 50m 450eb

The Russki-9 is MoskArms’ bread-and-butter weapon, sold widely in the
Eastern Bloc and the rest of Eurasia. It has an integral laser sight. (GURPS
Cyberworld 102)

Glock 9mm Hotload  P +2 J E 2D6+2( 9mm high-power) 20 1/3 VR 50m 400eb

Chambered for 9mm high-powered rounds, the Hotload’s advanced design takes
full advantage of caseless ammo to prevent malfunctions. It is favored by
private, military, and public police forces alike. (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

Astrum Meteor Magnum   P +1 J P 3D6 (11mm) 10 1/3 ST 50m 600eb

Astrum Federated Firearms of Buenos Aires has emerged as one of the top
weapons firms in South America, and the Meteor is arguably the most popular
large-bore autoloading pistol south of Panama. Accurate, reliable, with a
good-sized clip. The Astrum 11mm Bolide is an advanced model of the Meteor
with an integral laser sight (+1 WA). (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

Colt Warrior .44 Magnum  P 0 J E 4D6 (.44 mag) 6 2 ST 50m 450eb

For people who simply like very big handguns, the Warrior is the way to go.
This is one of the few revolvers in modern production, and Colt retained the
old .44 Magnum chambering to appeal to traditionalists. It uses cased
ammunition. Speedloaders are available from the manufacturer (15eb). (GURPS
Cyberworld 102)

MoskArm NovUzi   SMG -1 L P 2d6+1 (9mm) 40 20 ST 100m 400eb

Some weapons never go out of style. The Uzi submachine gun is one of them.
MoskArms copied this pattern in 2013, and it is almost unchanged from the
original design introduced in 1952. (GURPS Cyberworld 103)

SUBMACHINEGUNS

NATArms M-19  SMG +1 L C 2D6+3 (10mm) 40 40 ST 100m 1400eb

A sturdy SMG of American manufacture, the M-19 comes with integral smartgun
link. (GURPS Cyberworld 103).

SHOTGUNS

Remington Model 60   SHG 0 N C 4D6 (12ga/#00) 5 1/3 VR 50m 250eb

This is a standard, good-quality, semi-automatic shotgun. A slightly
shorter, ligher model, the Remington “Hearthfire” Model 62, is sold for home
defense (WA -1, Conc. L). (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

Smith & Wesson Thor   SHG 0 N C 4D6 (12ga/#00) 8 2 ST 50m 300eb

This is a good example of the older-model, autoloading, small-clip shotguns
used by public police in cities all over the world. The close-assault weapon
format has largely replaced them on modern private police forces and in
military applications. (GURPS Cyberworld 103)

NATArms UCW   SHG -2 L C 5D6 (10ga/#00) 10 2 ST 50m 650eb

A compact, semi-automatic shotgun firing large-gauge shells, the UCW is
perfect for urban close combat. (GURPS Cyberworld 103)

FE-ACW  SHG -1 N P 5D6 (10ga/#00) 12 2 ST 50m 800eb

Fabrique Europa’s Close-Assault Weapon, devastating in combat, is found in
the hands of third world police and riot squads all over the world. (GURPS
Cyberworld 103)

RIFLES

Sauvage 7mm “Boucanier”  RIF +2 N P 6D6 (7mm) 10 2 VR 250m 400eb

When a French consortium purchased Savage Arms in 2017 and renamed it
Sauvage, predictions of lowered quality were rampant. However, consistently
good weapon performance has made the Sauvage 7mm series popular with
sportsmen the world over. The Boucanier is equipped with integral telescopic
and low-light sights. Optional models with integral laser sights (the
“Dragon Rouge,” 500eb) and smartgunning (the “L’Aigle,” 700eb) are
available. (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

MoskArms 12mm “Molniya”  RIF 0 N P 6D10 (12mm L) 5 3 ST 200m 1750eb

The Molniya “Thunderbolt” is a big-game rifle, priced in accordance with the
small market for such weapons in 2020. So many game species are protected by
endangered species regulations that there are few big game hunters around.
Poachers don’t count; they generally hose down the animal with a flood of
small-caliber fire from military weapons until it falls over dead. The
Molniya throws a 12mm slug that can drop a Cape buffalo, and that
practically tears smaller targets to pieces. (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

SOG G7 Carbine  RIF +1 N P 4D6+2 (5.5mm L) 40 2/40 VR 400m 550eb

SOG’s G7 weapon is a compact, bullpup design assault rifle popular with
infantry in less-developed nations. SOG has licensed the design for
manufacture in a number of third world countries. It could be seen as an
update on the Darra-Polytechnic M-9 Assault Rifle and an effort to move into
the third world market, since it uses the same 5.5mm caseless round as the
M-9, but is more accurate and follows the modern-day bullpup configuration.
(GURPS Cyberworld 102)

NATArms M-23  RIF +2 N C 4D6+2 (5.5mm L) 30 2/10/30 ST 400m 4250eb

The M-23 and its related configurations are an American attempt to
capitalize on the ubiquitous 5.5mm third world market. However, they cater
toward the wealthy dictator’s private forces (who would probably be using
assault rifles with a little more punch anyway) and are not nearly as
popular as the SOG or Darra-Polytechnic. They are equipped with integral
telescopic and low-light sights and are equipped for smartlinking. The M-23
may mount an MML-20 mini-grenade launcher under the barrel (see below).
(GURPS Cyberworld 102)

FE-AC 7.7mm Carbine   RIF +2 N P 6D6+3 (7.7mm) 30 3/30 VR 400m 1000eb
(FE-AR Rifle  MGL 0 n/a n/a Varies (25mm mini-gren) 5 1 VR 150m 4500eb)

This is the cream of military firearms from Fabrique Europe, the company
that took Europe’s leading weapon manufacturers by storm in 2014. Both the
FE-AC and FE-AR assault rifles are equipped with integral telescopic and
low-light sights and have integral smartgun links. The FE-AR is identical to
the FE-AC, but has an underbarrel 25mm minigrenade launcher which is very
similar to that of the Militech M-31a1 Advanced Infantry Combat Weapon.
(GURPS Cyberworld 102)

MoskArm AK-107   RIF +1 N P 6D6+3 (7.7mm) 30 3/30 VR 400m 2000eb

Modeled on the old Kalishnikov, the AK-107 combines the legendary durability
of that weapon with modern materials and caseless ammunition to produce a
superb infantry assault rifle. It is equipped with telescopic sights. The
AK-107V (+2 WA, 4000eb) has telescopic and low-light imaging sights and is
equipped with an integral smartgun link. (GURPS Cyberworld 102)

MoskArm SVD   RIF +2 N P 6D6 (7mm) 20 2 ST 1000m 4500eb

A superb siper rifle with adjustable stock, balance weights, an optional
tripod mount (WA +1), and integral smartchipping. MoskArm is reputedly
working on a remote- controlled model, to be set up and ranged in on a given
spot and then connected to a control unit with an image-recognition expert
system. The control unit would be able to fire the gun upon recognizing a
specified target entering its fire zone. (GURPS Cyberworld 103)

NATArms CW55  RIF +1 N C 4D6+2 (5.5mm L) 10 2 ST 1000m 3500eb

The Covert Weapon Model 55 is a sniper rifle that breaks down into separate
barrel, stock, reciever and clip mechanism. When dismantled, it fits into a
briefcase, or may even be carried in special pockets in an overcoat (Conc
L). It takes 5 minutes and a succesful Weaponsmithing (or Rifle) roll at
Diff 15 to put the weapon together. (GURPS Cyberworld 103)

MISCELLANEOUS

NATArms MML-20  MGL -1 N varies (25mm mini-gren) 5 2 ST 150m 500eb

This microgrenade launcher fires 25mm mini-grenades using a propellant
charge. The weapon holds 5 grenades. The standard MML-20 is shaped like an
old-fashioned flare pistol, with the thick clip loaded into the underside of
the barrel. A folding stock allows reasonably accurate two-handed fire
(listed WA). Firing an MML-20 one-handed imposes a -4 to WA. The MML-20S is
designed to be attached under the barrel of a modern assault weapon,
typically the NATArms M-23. It can only be fired when attached to such a
weapon. Attaching or detaching the MML-20S takes 10 minutes and requires an
Average Weaponsmithing or Rifle roll. (GURPS Cyberworld 105).
