A few modern weapons for HEX (who knows? Maybe you’ve got time travel in your game…):
Colt AR-15/M-16/M-4 5.56mm
Developed during the 1950s, the Stoner-designed M-16 platform is the longest serving assault rifle in the US Army arsenal. The 5.56mm round is arguably underpowered, but the yawing action of the bullet on impact makes up for the .223 caliber, 55-grain projectile.
Damage: 3W Str: 1 Rng: 100′ Cap: 30 [m] Rate: A Speed: A Wt: 7 lbs
(Other battle rifles fielded by NATO have comparable stats — the Steyr AUG, Enfield SA-80 and variants, the MAS of the French, etc.) Semi-auto versions liket he AR-15 have a Rate of M.)
Kalashnikov AK-47 7.62x39mm
The Russian and Warsaw Pact answer to the modern battlefield, the AK-47 and its cousins are highly robust, powerful, and accurate enough for the ranges intended.
Damage: 3W Str: 2 Range: 100′ Cap: 30 [m] Rate: A Speed: A Wt: 10 lbs.
Heckler & Koch MP-5
The H&K submachinegun is chambered for the 9mm pistol round. It is reliable, accurate, small, and light.
Damage: 3W Str: 2 Range: 50′ Cap: 15 or 30 [m] Rate: A Speed: A Wt: 6 lbs
FN P-90 5.7x28mm
The P-90 is an attempt to create a light, easy-to-use service weapon for personnel not needed a full-sized rifle (drivers, cooks, etc.) The highly accurate weapon turned out to be an excellent platform for special operations work and operations in urban environments.
Damage: 3W Str: 1 Range: 75′ Cap: 50 [m] Rate: A Speed: A Wt: 5.5 lbs.
(The SS190 military round for the P-90 is designed to penetrate soft body armor. Armor ratings from soft armor [leather, kevlar, etc.] lose 1W in effectiveness.)
FN FiveSeven 5.7x28mm Pistol
The FiveSeven is a companion sidearm to the P-90. The round fired is similar to the 5.56mm projectile, but light and moving at a third less the speed. The handgun is very accurate.
Damage: 3W Str: 1 Range: 50′ Cap: 20 [m] Rate: M Speed: A Wt: 1.5lb
Beretta 92SF (M9) 9mm
The US sidearm standard after 1985. It uses a 9mm round.
Damage: 3W Str: 2 Range: 50′ Cap: 15 [m] Rate: M Speed: A Wt: 2.5 lbs.
(Similar handguns like the CZ-75, Glock 17, and other 9mm service arms will vary only in Cap and Wt.)
S&W Model 29 .44 magnum
This revolver was the most powerful handgun in the world from the 1970s to 1990s.
Damage: 4W Str: 2 Range: 50′ Cap: 6 [r] Rate: M Speed: A Wt: 4 lbs.
Desert Eagle .357 Magnum
This semi-auto handgun is made for hunting (or impressing your friends.) If is chambered in .357 magnum, .44 magnum, and .50AE. Ballistically, they are similar enough to have similar stats in HEX, but have different Capacity (.44 mag and .50 have 7 [m].)
Damage: 4W Str: 2 Range: 50′ Cap: 9 [m] Rate: M Speed: A Wt: 6 lbs.
Barrett M92 .50BMG Rifle
The bolt-action .50 rifle is a popular sniper rifle with the US and other militaries.
Damage: 5W Str: 3 Range: 250′ Cap: 5 [m] Rate: M Speed: A Wt: 12 lbs.
(Similar platforms like Accuracy International’s .338 Lapua sniper rifle would have about the same stats.)
