Pistols:

WI-LP-10-C 10 mm Liquid Propellant Compact Pistol (Kitsune):
This is a new compact pistol design that been produced by Wellington Industries. Instead of using normal gunpowder, the weapon uses a powerful liquid propellant to drive the bullets. This propellant has about four times the forces of nitro-cellulose gunpowder. Because of the extreme recoil of propellant, the gun barrel is specially constructed to reduce recoil. Even so, the weapon has a large amount of recoil and requires a strength of 18 or the weapon has -2 to strike on aimed shots and -4 for bursts. The weapon can be fired in single shot and three round bursts. The weapon has a shorter range than the machine pistol but is concealable.
The weapon can use special explosive rounds to inflict greater damage as well as more conventional rounds. The explosive rounds are becoming quite popular because it can inflict damage on MDC materials.
Weight: 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg)
Cartridge: 10 mm Liquid propellant
Damage: Standard Ammunition: 2D6x10 SDC single shot and 1D4 MDC three round burst. Explosive Ammunition: 1D4 MDC single shot and 3D4 MDC three round burst.
Rate of Fire: Single Shot and Three Round Burst
Maximum Effective Range: 250 feet (76.2 meters)
Payload: 10 or 20 round magazines (Liquid propellant in magazine)
Black Market Cost: 5,300 for pistol, 250 for a box of 50 standard rounds and 500 for a box of 50 Explosive rounds (Liquid propellant is packaged with rounds)
WI-LP-10-MP 10 mm Liquid Propellant Machine Pistol (Kitsune):
This is a new machine pistol design that been produced by Wellington Industries. Instead of using normal gunpowder, the weapon uses a powerful liquid propellant to drive the bullets. This propellant has about four times the forces of nitro-cellulose gunpowder. Because of the extreme recoil of propellant, the gun barrel is specially constructed to reduce recoil. Even so, the weapon has a large amount of recoil and requires a strength of 15 or the weapon has -1 to strike on aimed shots and -3 for bursts. The weapon can be fired in single shot, three round bursts, and longer bursts. Weapon has a much longer range than the compact version.
The weapon can use special explosive rounds to inflict greater damage as well as more conventional rounds. The explosive rounds are becoming quite popular because it can inflict damage on MDC materials.
Weight: 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg)
Cartridge: 10 mm Liquid propellant
Damage: Standard Ammunition: 2D6x10 SDC single shot, 1D4 MDC three round burst, as per burst for other bursts. Explosive Ammunition: 1D4 MDC single shot, 3D4 MDC three round burst, as per burst for other bursts.
Rate of Fire: Single Shot, Three Round Burst, and Extended Bursts (Use Standard Rules)
Maximum Effective Range: 1000 feet (304.8 meters)
Payload: 10, 20, or 30 round magazines (Liquid propellant in magazine)
Black Market Cost: 5,800 for pistol, 250 for a box of 50 standard rounds and 500 for a box of 50 Explosive rounds (Liquid propellant is packaged with rounds)

WI-25 Four Tube Mini-Missile Launchers (Kitsune):
This is a new mini-missile launcher design that has been produced by Wellington Industries. It has four tubes than can be fired individually or all four may be fired at the same time. The weapon is reusable and is very useful against fairly heavy armor. It is likely that several other weapon companies will soon begin producing virtually identical weapon systems.
Weight: 30 lbs (13.6 kg) without missiles or 38 lbs (17 kg) with missiles. Each extra missile weighs approximately an additional 2 lbs (0.91 kg)
Mega Damage: Varies by mini-missile type (Go to Revised bomb and missile table).
Rate of Fire: Single shot or all four mini-missiles only
Maximum Effective Range: Varies by mini-missile type (Go to Revised bomb and missile table).
Payload: 4, takes 15 seconds (one melee) to reload launcher
Black Market Cost: The launcher costs 32,000 credits, missiles cost extra
WI-50S Fire & Forget Anti Aircraft Missile Launcher (Kitsune):
This launcher is a single shot hand held short range missile launcher. As the name implies, the launcher is designed for ground troops to have a weapon that they can use against aircraft. This missile launcher fills much the same role as the Contemporary Stinger missile launcher does. Unlike the WI-40M, the launcher is reusable. The launcher is heavy and must be operated or the user must have a strength of 18 or higher. Many other weapon companies manufacture virtually identical missile launchers.
Note: SAM style missiles are missiles that sacrifice payload for higher speeds, see Chris Curtis' modified missile table for specifics
Weight: 20 lbs (9.1 kg) without missile or 60 lbs (27.2 kg) with missile. Each extra missile weighs an additional 40 lbs (18.2 kg)
Mega Damage: Varies by short missile type (Go to Revised bomb and missile table - SAM style missiles normally)
Rate of Fire: Single Shot only
Maximum Effective Range: Varies by short missile type (Go to Revised bomb and missile table- SAM style missiles normally)
Payload: 1, takes 30 seconds (2 melees) to reload launcher
Black Market Cost: The launcher costs 20,000 credits, missiles cost extra
WI-GL403 Under Rifle Grenade Launcher (Kitsune):
Several rifles on Rifts Earth have built in Grenade launchers but other that the ancient pre-rifts M-203 and similar weapons, no grenade launchers have been designed to be mounted underneath the barrel of a rifle. The M-203 only has one shot and is very underpowered. Wellington Industries saw that they weapon could sell quite well so they created the WI-GL403. This is designed to fit on virtually any rifle with the appropriate fittings but in some cases the rifle will need to be modified slightly
Weight: 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg)
Mega Damage: 4D6 for Fragmentation with a blast area of 12 feet (3 m). 1D4x10 for Armor Piercing with a blast area of 3 feet. The launcher can also fire smoke, illumination, and chemical rounds.
Rate of Fire: Single Shot only (Equal to hand to hand attacks)
Maximum Effective Range: 1000 feet (305 meters)
Payload: 4, takes 15 seconds (one melee) to reload launcher
Black Market Cost: The launcher costs 25,000 credits, grenades cost extra
