The Polymer One Shot and other craziness thread

The Hello Kitty people are very scary. Now just imagine a Posuer gang armed like this

The .905 I was aware of. The double pistol and the Phallus of Death I was not. Quite something.

 

[wisdom000]

While these are kinda neat, or kinda ridiculous.... or both... None of them really come anywhere close to being a polymer one-shot... a name synonymous with cheap shoddily produced garbage...

Even the hello kitty and glam guns were pretty high quality weapons, just modified to look like a barbie nightmare...

 

[Sardukhar]

Tec-9. Pretty shoddy, although to be fair, I've never fired one.

you want a REAL polymer one shot? our friends at the ATF are here to help
http://www.atf.gov/press/releases/2006/05/050406-openletter-nfa-flare-inserts.html

it's cheap, it's plastic, it blows up when you shoot it!.

it might just save your life, then again it might leave you shopping for a cyber hand.

 

[Sardukhar]

Ka-boom! They say, "confirmed that the use of these adapters in conjunction with conventional ammunition is likely to result in a catastrophic failure of the flare launcher."
Catastrophic failure. Two words that mean so much mess.

 

[TheWanderingJewels]

done even think that qualifies as a UR rating for Reliability, how about CAT for "Catastrophic" and a failure rate of 1-9 on a d10

Here is another Polymer 1-shot. Straight outta the 80's.

The Intratec Tec-38. Polymer .38 special. Made by the same guys who brought you the Tec-9.
Intratec is no longer around, but the same designer now owns Kel-Tec, makers of bull-pup shotguns and the insane PLR-16 "pistol"

 

[Don_Carnage]

Also, there Hi-Point pistols. These guys are still around and sell the cheapest guns. As a shooter, I can not over-emphasize how crappy these guns are. They feel ultra-cheap. But they also cost about a quarter of what other pistols cost. So you get what you pay for, I suppose.

 

[Sardukhar]

Ooh! I was gonna post Hi-Point, but I've never fired or handled one. Their rep is truly shite, though.

Wow, that looks like it will hurt like hell... When it explodes in your hand i mean

 

[blank_redge]

...now THAT is an excellent example of a polymer one-shot. Mass produced, cheaply made, likely to detonate in your hand on a misfire. =p

The four-barrel COP holdout pistol that thewarsend posted above, though, was a well-made firearm, if niche in function.

Due to the short barrel, accuracy outside of point-blank was anyone's guess, and with only four shots and a break-action design, not something you'd want as your main weapon. However, as your close-quarters "Plan B" if your main weapon fails, it's a fantastic pistol.

 

[blank_redge]

Ha! Nice to see another shootist amongst us. =)

Yeah; the Hi-Point pistols would DEFINITELY be another strong contender to model Polymer One-Shots after.

I can just imagine having that pistol as a backup pistol in game. Hey, with a few modifications, it can even act as my main weapon. (extended barrel, fast re-loader, laser sight and so on)

 

[eraser7278]

seeing as the COP is listed under the "old guns never die" table in cp2020, i've seen it often used as a backup piece in games. it's even better once you read wildside and use the correct damage for .357 mag

 

[Sardukhar]

Hmm? I couldn't find .357 Mag damage in Wildside. Blackhand's lists it as 3D6+1. I usually use Blackhands, although I'm not sure their changes to the anti-armour weapons make sense, from an antiarmour perspective.

 

[wisdom000]

The C.O.P. 357 has been firmly rooted in Cyberpunk media since the beginning.

It's the gun Leon uses to shoot Holden during his interrogation scene in Bladerunner...

"Let me tell you about my mother!"

View attachment 828

but don't worry, Holden survived, and he can breath okay so long as no-one unplugs him...

 

[eraser7278]

yeah, in the main book 357 mag was only 2D6+3. they corrected that in wildside up to 3D6+1
