Who has that much money to spend on a single weapon?

Hey I got a medium pulse laser with the Coventry Arms seal; lets make a deal!

[KingCobra]

YAY i think were getting a MechExchange.

The Star King Gyroslug Carbine is an aging Gyroslug Carbine design first produced by Kelang Weapons during the First Succession War. Dedicated weapon aficionados have kept the design alive since then, although ammunition for the weapon is hard to come by. Despite this, the Star King has superior range and hitting power than most modern carbines.


Triesting Arms has little reference information, though based on the name, it should be located on the planet of Triesting, a firmly Steiner planet.


Basically, someone paid a lot of money for a really old gun.

Triesting Arms was indeed a weapons company based on Triesting. After the Second Succession War, the company merged with Kelang Weapons, which was the original producer of the Star King Gyroslug Carbine, to become the company now known as TK Industries, which still produces weapons for the LCAF.

a really old gun that fires self-propelled exploding bullets silently

What, was it triple platinum-gold-silver plated or something?

I'll take any weapon I can, as long as I can get into the Beta to try it out (hint hint)......

I bet she has a folding stalk and a 30 round Mag. I might have to dig out the old books and see if I can find her in one of them. Sounds like a real Beauty

No, if it was, then they would have taken a stock Gyroslug Carbine, dumped $1.2 million of flashy mods onto it, and leave themselves so broke they can only afford to have 3 rounds loaded in it at any given time...

See this in the news?


Kim Kardashian's carry gun.

The YSL logo looking like a dollar sign is no coincidince. Yves Saint Laurent is the French fashion designer the glitterati turn to when they're feeling guilty for their good looks.

Don't know much about this pistol, other than I'm sure I could find new cars for less. Probably fairly nice ones.

With inflation that's what? $29.99 in today's market?

[Sychodemus]

A long time ago a C-bill was approximately 5.00USD.

Nowadays, you could get 15.00USD to the C-Bill.

@KingCobra - Phantom Crash is a great game. I just got done renting it in fact.
