The best book to construct weapons is Gurps veicules 3 ed.... a full sistem to build weapons... the only modifications you will need to do is ACC that is much greater in 3ed than 4 ed

Expressed either in metric or US customary 6kg or 13.2 lbs is a ridiculous weight for a .454 Casull. The Super Redhawk in HT already has a brutally heavy frame and a 7.5 inch barrel and still only comes in at 3.6 lbs. Another 2.5 inches of barrel isn't going to get you to a full 4 lbs (less than 2 kilos). As for the other one, 35 lbs of mass will get you an entire Barett _rifle_ with 4 or 5 feet of barrel. I don't really have mch hope about writers inventing badly concieved guns but could they at least not use the metric system to enhance their sloppiness?

If he needs more books, the Bundle of Holding website is breaking my heart by selling a virtual mound of GURPS pdfs.

Re: Ideas:'Revolutionary' late 2030s Handgun for Black Ops/Horror/lite Sci-Fi setting
What I'd expect to see are things like the FK BRNO
It would technically be a mature technology by the 2030's but the FK BRNO fires a 100 grain bullet at just under 2000FPS. Its basically an M1 Carbine the size of a service pistol accurate to around a hundred yards with manageable recoil Carries 16 rounds and hits roughly with the energy of a .44 magnum to boot. I'll leave it to our gun guys but the manufacturer claims it will handle a bear and I think it might. It should do GURPS terms a shade more damage than the M1 Carbine and it can penetrate Threat Level 3A body armor I'd put it at 4d As for the late 2030's , its maybe a decade and change out. Its doubtful anything like telescoping caseless ammo or caseless will be available . Even the "new' Army rifle the Sig in .277 Fury isn't very special. Its uses AR10 magazines. packs a decent punch, 100 FPS over a 7mm-08 round but is very high pressure In GURPS terms same as a 30-06 damage wise unless 7mm08 is in High Tech in which case use that If your characters have access to military grade weapons , an SMG PDW in the 7.5 BRNO would be quite potent against a monsters. 10 rounds a second with manageable recoil doing 4d plus its compact Such weapons don't yet exist but seem like something for a decade from now. |

You could just take an oversized, overpowered automatic pistol, claim that there's been significant improvement in smokeless powder by the 2030s, and that the manufacturers (who seem to be at least slightly competent) have upgraded the gun to handle better propellants.

It's firing chamber appears to be higher and farther back than that of any modern pistol. This would probably give it a lot of muzzle jump and make it hard to hold on to. Also, it's action which is described as "long recoil" does extend unusually far back and I might worry about where it tended to throw its' brass.

Apparently they are rather fun at the range and in matches, if you have large hands and like big bangs. But as a practical weapon? They’re too large to conceal and too heavy to wear all day, so you’re better off with a PDW or carbine, which are more effective and no less convenient.

Note that I would not trade the 6D P+ of the S&W .500 for a 5D P (or less) carbine without a full auto feature. Never mind those P- PDWs.
