Okay, I know that as runners we love having shiny, cutting edge toys that make corpsec and knight errant green with envy. Money for new toys is one of the reasons that we run.
However, some times that old antique from grandad's street-sam days is good enough to pull you out of a bind, and other times it's simply a case of they don't make them like they used to. This is the thread for those old hunks of metal.
G-3 Battle Rifle (Eurowars, Runners Black Book 2074): A vintage battle rifle, this gun is typical for a weapon of its class in almost all aspects. It has a point of inherent recoil compensation, which is always nice, but the reason it tops this list is its price. at 900 nuyen it's just under a third of the price of the next cheapest battle rifle.
HK416 (Eurowars, Runners Black Book 2074): A vintage assault rifle with the range increments of a SMG, most people would quite reasonably consider this weapon inferior to anything in either category (SMGs have better concealability, while normal assault rifles are better at most ranges). In truth the only real way to make this gun shine is to combine a red-dot laser sight and tracer rounds while firing it full auto (as its higher base damage code than a standard SMG comes into play), but this will generally require a substantial investment in recoil compensation modifications.
your turn.
