Is this a brand name & is it only common to the Americas?

Just asking, because it's mentioned in the Body-Fixer equipment list under Laser Scalpel, but I'm playing character only local to Rifts Japan and that place is apparently really isolated from the rest of the world.

wilks is a brad/company name

Would they have those in Rifts Japan?

they would have simmiler in stats but the brand....only as salvaged/lost/trade-in avalibility from travellers.

On Page 115 of the Rifts japan book they have in big letters....

H-BRAND
The only other high tech weapons manufacturer of note on the entire island chain is a small company nestled among the independent kingdom of Otomo. it's products are known simply as H-Brand
weapons. Some are original designs, but most are "Knock-offs" of ArmaTech and foreign weapons acquired from occasional visitors and seafarers. In addition to mega-damage weapons and armour, H-Brand also produces a large number of semi-automatic and automatic S.D.C. weapons and speciality items like high-tech (M.D. and S.D.C.) bows, arrows, VIBRO-WEAPONS and explosives. It's products are of lower quality than ArmaTech, but are generally good, reliable items.

ODDS & ENDS

All Armatech brand weapons have the prefix "AT" and are of superior quality.

Most, but not all H-Brand weapons have the prefix "H", are of fair to good quality, and are mainly knock-offs of ArmaTech weapons.....etc.

Wilks doesn't even get mention there. So, H-Brand must be the label I'm looking for.

I sometimes like to imagine they call their tiny mall outlet shops "The Wilk's Booth"
