Longarms in Adventures Untold | World Anvil

Longarms

A staggering variety of longarms can be found. Indeed, it's a rare rural household in Europe or the Americas where a rifle or shotgun of uncertain vintage isn't available for hunting or scaring off intruders. Civilian guns are lighter and may be elaborately fitted out. Military weapons are heavier and have features such as full forestocks and bayonet lugs.

 

Rifles

Winchester Model 95

One of the most popular hunting rifles in the world, the Model 95 is available in most of the common military and game cartridges. It can be ordered with a wide array of options, include the wood used for the furniture, barrel length, and custom engraving. One of the most desirable options are the "take down" models which can be quickly disassembled with a twist, separating the barrel and magazine from the receiver and stock. This makes the rifle much more convenient for traveling.

Krag M1912/18 Carbine

The carbine version of the Krag-Jørgensen rifle was shortened to make it make it less cumbersome and lighter. It has a stronger receiver as well.

Gewehr 98

The Gewehr 98 has been the German standard rifle since before the turn of the century. It's currently the most available military rifle for civilians, as hundreds of thousands were seized from Germany after the war and theoretically destroyed, while in practice many ended up slipping through.

Westley Richards Double Rifle

Typical of similar rifles, this is designed for hunting very dangerous game on safari. As such, it features a double barrel design, allowing two quick shots, and fires one of the massive "large game" rounds. They are designed for short-range shooting, as opposed to long-range accuracy. These rifles are normally ornately decorated, as befits the importance of their owners.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 12

This is the military version of the most common shotgun currently being produced. Shortened from the civilian gun and with an added heat shield and bayonet lug, it was one of the common "trench guns" used for close-in fighting during the war. A unique feature of the Model 12 is that the trigger can be held back and the gun will "slam fire" every time the action is pumped, allowing for a staggering amount of carnage.
