Notes: One of the few home-grown weapons of the Dominican arms industry, the Cristobal was designed in 1948 by a Hungarian immigrant to the Dominican Republic. He based it on a submachinegun he had designed before World War 2 (which was itself based on Beretta M-1938), rebarreled for the .30 caliber Carbine cartridge and fitted with a longer barrel and stock. This weapon was subsequently supplied to Cuba before the revolution, and many of them can still be found in the hands of Cuban farmers and hunters, usually modified for semiautomatic-only fire. It could likewise still be found in the hands of Dominican farmers and hunters, and occasionally police and rebel forces. Production of new Cristobals stopped in 1970. By 2003, the remaining Cristobals are generally in poor repair, but any weapon can be dangerous in the right hands.

Twilight 2000 Notes: These weapons were largely replaced by M-16A1s from the US and L-1A1s from Great Britain shortly before the Twilight War, mostly to provide a better-armed military force as a bulwark against Cuban and Russian troops. The remaining Cristobals were then handed down to folks who were normally not found with weapons in peacetime, such as the elderly, women, and children than were not yet even in their teens.
