Sourcebook One, Fines for Wilks Weapons

Unread post by Greyaxe »

Why are there fines listed for carrying Wilks weapons but not other types of weapons? Can we assume the Coalition doesn't want people to be carrying around MD weapons, safe assumption. But why specifically are Wilks products targeted. Is this to discourage the public from having these fine, fine Wilks weapons, because they don’t have a treaty like Ishpeming and Northern Gun do. Or are these to be used as benchmarks for all fines for possessing mega damage weapons.

Petrified wood just because we could.

Sounds like a control issue, and sense the CS dosnt control them then they get fined.

Not that it matters since most people carrying Wilks weapons would probably shoot the CS soldier anyway on sight. At least that is what I do. I mean I got a Wilks pulse laser that does a ton more damage than anything the CS has next to a plasma cannon.
Norbu the Enchanter: Hello friends! What brings you to my shop today?

Big Joe: We need some things enchanted to take a beating...

Norbu: Perhaps you want your weapons enchanted? Or maybe a shield or sword? I can even enchant armor!

Big Joe: We need you to enchant this Liver, this heart, and these kidneys.

Norbu: :shock:

It says its part of the deal they have with northern gun, part of northern gun's plot to drive out competition.

With rat_bastards comments in mind, could you carry heavy NG weapons through the CS and not get fined?

For that matter what is the CS laws regarding MD weaponry in their territory?

What do you mean through the CS? In CS territoty....it should be a problem......but they don't let any arms in the city......


I see but if you get caught with a wilks weapon is CS territory you get a fine..... I sence a conspiracy.

But what do we do about the picture on the inside of the RUE's cover?
The building's logo at the picture's bottom. :shock:
Or will we see a whole new line of Wilks products that can be used in the CS.
I hate it when my mind wonders,
Because I have no idea what it will bring back with it.

I say someone needs to get a bunch of Kitani weapons and eliminate the CS, then start a non-socialist government. That will eliminate the fine for having Wilks weapons.

Dont forget Wilks has an entire line of products which are not weapons. Merc Ops has a slew of Wilks equipment.
