I don't have the book with me but I don't think so. I remember this thread from a while ago, and we discussed that it looks like a Naruni weapon, but it stats have never been fleshed out. Maybe it's a custom one of a kind model or some rare alien weapon. I actually like when weapons are depicted but not described because then I can do it myself :D
Like the gattling gun on the cover of the same book, it looks cool and hasn't been relegated to the "yet another gun that does 6d6 or 1d4x10" category

The word "THAN" is important. Something is "better than" something else, not "better then", it's "rather than" not "rather then".

A few years ago I took that gun and the gun wielded by the Cyber Samurai on the title page of RIFTS Japan and made my own weapons company. "Starfire Weapons Systems" I gave the Big gun a range of 4000' and a damage of 1D6x10 per barrel. It was a Particle Beam Weapon that could fire 1, 2, or all 3 of it's barrels at once, inturn making it able to do 3D6x10 MD!!! The large clip that is shown and the large bulbous body are actually small capacitors giving the weapon an internal power supply and a payload of 90 single blasts, or varried equivalents before needing to recharge by hooking up to a nuclear power supply. Great weapon for power armor and borgs. Rate of Fire: Single Shots, or blast from two or three barrels. Since they fire simultaniously, it is not considered a burst. Bursts and sprays are not possible.

The Rifle from Japan was Starfires sniper rifle. It had an 8000' ft range (!!!), and did 2D6x10 MD. The rifle also contained the internal power supply giving it 30 shots before needing to recharge. The Sniper rifle could be supplimented by a regular or long e-clip if needed giving it 6 or 10 blasts respectively. Rate of Fire: Single shots only.

It could be a Techno Wizard weapon with unknown abilities.

I think that bow is in Spirit West, there are also normal bows with exploding heads in sourcebook one.

For me, the gun is a triple barreled Naruni plasma cartridge cannon, that does 3D4x10 M.D. with a range of 2000'. It costs 1,000,000 creds and is sold in only one outlet in all the Megaverse. If you can name that store I'll buy you a Coke! :lol:

juicer weapons

Unread post by bigwhitehound »

*There is nothing official for those weapons, but this is what I’ve come up with.
The weapon the Dragon Juicer is holding is a N.E. heavy particle beam rifle, just release to the Rifts Earth market a month before the Juicer Uprisings.
I have always assumed that the gun the Cyber Samurai on the title page of Rifts Japan is holding is an Armtek (I know that’s spelled wrong) version of a Shemarrian Rail-Gun , the one that A.R.C.H.E. made.

N.E-1000 “Dead Bang” Heavy Tri-Barrel Particle Beam Rifle; weight 40lbs unloaded, 45lbs loaded, requires a PS of 19 or higher to use, otherwise -3 to strike/length 4ft/ damage 1D4x10MD per barrel, can fire 1, 2,or all 3 barrels at once (3D4x10 MD total)/rate of fire, regardless of how many barrels are fired, all shots count as one attack, no burst or sprays/ range 2500ft/ payload uses a N.E. version of a C-clip, called a box-clip holding 90 single shots ( firing 2 barrels uses 2 shots and firing all 3 barrels uses 3 shots)/cost on Rifts Earth 100,000 + credits (20,000 credits per clip), in the Phase World Dimension 80,000 U.T.C.credits (10,000 per clip)/ can be linked to a borgs or power armors power supply with a retractable power cable (comes out of the pistol grip, has 20 MDC and is -3 to strike the cable with a called shot). If you like this let me know.
