Beyond the obvious, which weapon manufacturers are associated with which megacorporations? Or are they all individual corps of their own right?

For example: Fabrique Nationale is owned by Monobe and Ultimax is a Renraku subsidiary. I also remember mention of Browning somewhere.

Just curious if there is a list...

[Aryeonos]

I think, not certain, but I think Izhmash and Colt got somehow bundled together not sure who's on top in that one though.

[RHat]

Gun Heaven 2 has things broken down in that manner, actually...  No mention of Colt in there, though.

[Xzylvador]

FN owns Browning... so it would be part of Monobe too.

[Patrick Goodman]

Cavalier Arms is 79% in the hands of Reality Inc., acquired from NeoNET during their troubles and the disappearance of Miles Lanier. The other 21% is owned by a man named Derrick Kane. I'm working on getting more info about Mr. Kane to the SR reading public.

[Xzylvador]

'Kane' own a large part of an arms manufacturer.
Almost as scary as him having acquired stealth bomber parts.

[Patrick Goodman]

Well, Derrick and "Kane" are two different guys, but all things considered ... yeah, probably just as bad. Derrick ... he lives an interesting life.

I ran across that link while looking for an image of the Ares Redline.  If you run the page through Google Translate (for those who do not read German), it has a list of Ares weapon subsidiaries.  Colt and Ingram are included, I did not know Ruger was somehow under Ares as well.

Making a list of names...

AK
Ares
ArmTech
Barret
Beretta
Browning (Monobe)
Cavalier (NeoNET)

If anyone can help place some of these in the world...

I know for sure that Walther belongs to Ruhrmetall (a German A-Corp)

HK is described as being "close to Saeder-Krupp"
maybe that means SK owns a large part of them but not 100%?

[Longshot23]

Are you sure about Ruger being owned by Ares? Because I find it a tad hard to believe that  in the early 2050s Lone Star would have knowingly licensed the Thunderbolt manufacturing to any part of Ares.

I do not know which exactly which book they are referencing from, but I assume it is a previous edition or German edition?  The references are on the wiki page.

I wish there were a bit more on the others.

AK isn't a manufacturer.  It stands for Avtomat Kalashnikova.  It's more like a model name.  It is/was manufactured in dozens of former Comm-Block countries and by even greater numbers of different manufacturers.  It comes in multiple calibers, multiple configurations including sniper versions and bullpup versions.  Hell, Saiga even makes a version chambered to use shotgun shells in 12, 20 and .410 gauges.

Just like the AR in AR-15 stands for ARmalite.  But Colt, Armalite, Bushmaster, and etc, etc, all make AR-15s. 

Cordially,

Old post on Dumpshock had a link that may be relevant to your interests: http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?showtopic=36097&st=150&p=1201534&#entry1201534

There's a link regarding the Corporate Index: http://nmath.free.fr/onyx/depot/Corporate%20Index%202065.xls Not sure how accurate it is, but sources are cited where known, IIRC.

Edit: And it's out of date. Supposedly accurate as of 2065.

Beat me to it.  Izhmash (mentioned upthread) is one of the bigger makers (at least currently) of the AK.
