List of possible weapons to come, Rhodesian Bushwar edition

[Grasyl]

Hallo everybody,
because or last list of possible weapon to come to Vietnam was well received, we decided to write one for the upcoming Bushwar DLC too. Due to a lack of time I will skip all weapon already in the Vietnam base game.

---State of Rhodesia---

--Pistols--

-S&W Bodyguard
Small .38 Special Revolver with a canceled hammer.

-Star Model BM
Spanish pistole resembling a small Colt M1991A1 but with 8 rounds of 9x19mm Para

-Walther P1
Modern Walther P.38 from western Germany with different Grips

-Mamba
Stainless steel self loading pistol based on the S&W Model 39. Fires 9x19mm from 15 round magazines.

-Mamba Standard
Identical to the Mamba pistol but features 2-round burst automatic fire.

-Mamba Deluxe
Identical to the Mamba pistol but features 3-round burst automatic fire.

-Wylie 12 Bore Pistol
A crude single shot pistol chambered for 12 Gauge shotgun shells.

--Submachine Guns & Pistol Carbines--
NOTE: In Rhodesia a lot of weapon manufacturers produced their weapon in two versions. As fully automatic SMGs for the army and police special forces but also in semi-automatic for civilians, regular police and the private security sector. It's therefore difficult to determine which model existed in either or both variants.

-IMP SMG
Crude SMG modelled vaguely after the MAC-10 but with a two piece receiver with split design and a longer barrel. The Magazine is in the centered grip, the IMP uses 25 Round Uzi magazines and fire 9x19mm Para at about 750 rpm, rather fast for an Rhodesian SMG. A L-shaped stock can be attached to this weapon.

-IMPI SMG
The IMP's prototype made even more crude and predating the IMP's split receiver, featuring an one piece reveicer design with the trigger housing attached below.

-Cobra Mk1
Resembles the IMP and uses MAC-10 esthetics. The receiver is split and the weapon got a over folding stock like the Russian PPS-43. The barrel is extended and equipped with a heat shield shroud. The weak hand can grip a potato shaped "hand guard" attached to shroud. The fire rate of the SMG version is very low at 450rpm.

-Cobra Mk2
Identical to the Cobra Mk1 but easier to fieldstrip and clean.

-Scorpion Mk1
Not to confuse with the Czech Skoprion written with a k. A shorter version of the Cobra without a stock and a shorter barrel. The muzzle is equipped with a AKM style slant compensator.

-R.76
A modular weapon loosely based on the Swedish Madsen m/50 but using pistol magazines in an angled foregrip. The barrel could be swapped out for different barrel length and features, including a bipod. The weapon had a retractable stock like the M3 Greasegun. The SMG version fired at 450 rpm.

-M.77
Identical to the R.76 but with a fixed wooden stock and only available with the loges barrel option of 267mm.

-P.78
Almost identical to the R.76 but firing from a closed bolt and therefore more accurate.

-GM15
Nearly identical to the Czech vz.23 Samopal but the lighting cuts in the shoulder piece are round holes instead of vertical cuts and a progressive trigger.

-GM16
Identical to the GM15 but with a conventional fire selector instead of the progressive trigger.

-SANNA 77
Nearly identical to the Czech vz.23 Samopal manufactured in South Africa and maybe influenced by the GM15. It uses 40 Round Magazines.

-Kommando Pistole Carbine
Rather fine SMG modelled after the Czech vz.23 chambered in 9x19mm Para but with a under folding stock instead of a side folding one and a large lower part made from plastic. The weapon is using 25 round Uzi magazines and fires 9x19mm Para at 700 rpm.

-LDP
The semiauto version of the Kommando. It featured a simple grip safety blocking the trigger of not held firmly.

-Rohgun
Resembling a prolonged vz.23, the Rohgun fires 9x19mm Para at 500 rpm and featuring a retractable stock like the M3 Greasegun.

-TS3
A SMG with similar ergonomics to the early Thompson M1921 featuring a wooden fixed stock and foregrip but firing from a closed bolt making this weapon fairly accurate. It fires 9x19mm from 30 round magazines.

-AuSTEN
Australian version of the British STEN SMG, featuring a pistol grip under the short barrel shroud and a under folding stock like the German MP40.

-American 180
Weird weapon looking a bit like a Thompson M1A1, but is chambered for .22lr and firing at crazy 1500 rpm from 163 or up to 274 round magazines.

--Shotguns--

-Armscor Shotgun
Simple single barrel break open shotgun for 12 Gauge shells, was soled at $100.

-Ithaca 37
US American shotgun famous for using it's loading gate to eject shells and therefore reducing the risk of getting dirt into it's action and the ability to slam fire, where the shooter keeps the trigger pressed while the weapon keeps firing as long as the pumping handle is slammed forwards and backwards again and again.

-Jumbo Shotgun
A quite unique semiautomatic bullpup shotgun with a tube magazine. It is loosely based on the High Standard Model 10. Its gas operated and the magazine underneath the barrel hold 6 regulars 12 Gauge rounds.

--Self Loading Rifles--

-Ruger Mini-14
Basically and over simplified a M14 chambered for .223 Remington.

--Assault Rifles--

-AC-556
The fully automatic version of the Mini-14.

-HK G3
The famous German G3 firing 7.62x51mm NATO at a prolonged recoil impulse due to its roller retarded blowback system. Came to Rhodesia via the M/961 from Portugal.

--Bolt Action Rifles--

-SMLE Mk. III
Old British rifle cambered in .303 and firing from a 10 round magazine using a traditional tanged sight in front of the action.

-Lee-Enfield No.4
Newer version of the SMLE with a peep sight behind the weapons action for better sight radius and more accuracy. The weapon can be cycled faster then most other 'Mauser type' bolt action rifles.

--Machine Guns--

-FN FAL 50.41
The LMG version of the original FN FAL similar to the L2A1 in the base game.

-Bren L4A4
The British Bren chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO.

-FN MAG
Multi purpose machine gun made by FN for 7.62x51mm NATO on belts. Rather heavy to use in it's light machinegun role.

--Launchers--

M20 "Super Bazooka"
Like the old Bazooka but mostly with optics and an enlarged caliber of 88.9 mm.

---Patriotic Front Rebels---

--Pistols--

-vz.27
Small Czech pistole for .32 ACP using 8 round magazines.

-vz.52
Czech pistol firing 7.62x25mm Tokarev using roller locked recoil operation and is therefore a more accurate alternative to the TT-33.

-CZ-75
Very well made Czech pistol made to sport shooting precision standards.

-Luger P-08
Famous German self loading Pistol with great ergonomics and hip shooting capabilities because of German 'Deutschluss' (eng. pointing shot).

---Sub Machineguns---

-Lanchester SMG
A British copy of the German MP18,I more accurate then the STEN gun and with a bayonet lug.

---Self loading rifles---

-vz.52
Czech self-loading rifle, a SKS competitor chambered in the more powerful 7.62x45mm

-vz.52/57
Version of the vz.52 in 7.62x49mm M43.

---Bolt Action Rifles---

-FN mle 24
A Mauser action universal rifle firing 7.92x57mm sS from an internal 5 round magazine. Very similar to the Kar98k in game but predates the 98k historically. Can be identified by having a handguard covering the area between rear sight and action.

-vz.24
Almost identical to the FN mle 24 but made in Czechia and featuring different barrel band fitting methods.

-Mannlicher M95/30
Austrian straight pull rifle, allowing faster cycling then convectional turn bolt designs but is chambered for the rare 8x56mmR.

---Machine Guns---

-UK vz.59
Czech belt fed MG for 7.62x54mmR

---Launchers---

-Type 69 RPG
Chinese RPG-7 copy, but with a caring handle and a 'shoulder guard' made from a reddish plastic utilizing distinctive rips.

I hope you guys like it and it serves as decent preparation material for the upcoming DLC.

The sources I mainly used were "Zambezi Valley Insurgency: Early Rhodesian Bush War Operations" and "Fighting Vehicles and Weapons of Rhodesia 1965–80".

great list! i've seen your previous weapons list for the base game and it was interesting \

some additions i could add is for the Rhodesian side being the SIG P220 (Swiss 9x19mm pistol), Armalite AR-18 (the less known and unsuccessful variant of the AR-15), and IMBEL M964A1 (Brazilian Paratrooper FAL)

for the Patriotic Front side it'd be the MPi-KMS 72 (East German side folding AKM) and AMD-63 (Hungarian AKM with the AK hand grip)

[The Danish]

Just one thing..The Madsen m/50 is Danish, Not Swedish
