Fair enough points, the analogy between a modern assault rifle and a musket isnt exactly fair... So lets make it a bit more fairer. Imagine standing next to your buddy and he pulls out an STG44. Its the grand daddy of assault rifles, operating on similar systems as we see in today's firearms, but you dont see anybody using those things anymore, right? And I'm not asking you to make your weapons all weird and goofy. I dont want to see you come up with pistols that shoot pistols that then explode, or a revolver that shoots miniature black holes (although that does actually sound really cool). We're not playing Borderlands here.

All I'm saying is that those weapons by that era would be antiquities. Why not just swap out the name for something sci-fi sounding and just call it a Union standard issue side arm? Doesnt have to do anything special, but at least it'll make it sound like a weapon they'd use in the army; instead of museum pieces. All I'm asking for is a little immersion.

But again, I'm not the GM here and all I can give are my $0.2. But I'm gonna make Red give you hell for bringing those antiquities to the battlefield. We're supposedly a legendary mercenary company, with access to the best of the best, and you're bringing a bunch of museum pieces to the frontline?
