USMC MEU(SOC) Pistol

Notes: This modified M-1911A1 was made by the US Marines to be a backup weapon for Marines armed with the MP-5 submachinegun. (MEU(SOC) stands for Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable).) As such it is normally employed by Recon, FAST units, and bodyguards. Improvements include an ambidextrous safety, a rounded hammer spur to preclude snagging, and rubber-coated grips and a more comfortably shaped grip safety. The magazine well is also beveled to make loading easier under stress.

Notes: This is a simple "Saturday Night Special" type of small pistol, for personal defense or backup purposes. It has been built as simple as possible, with straight double-action operation and no manual or grip safeties, and no slide catch or facility to hold the slide open when the weapon is empty. It can be fired without a magazine.

Wildey Survivor

Notes: The Wildey Survivor, also called the Wildey Magnum or simply the Wildey, is a powerful handgun designed to fire some of the most powerful handgun cartridges available (unfortunately, most of which are proprietary). It was first introduced in the early 1970s chambered for .45 Winchester Magnum, but Wildey Moore, the inventor of the Wildey pistol, trusted the wrong backers and it was 1983 before Mr. Moore regained control of his company. The Wildey was made famous by Charles Bronson’s use of a .475 Wildey Magnum-chambered version in Death Wish III. Though they are "manufactured," the Wildey is not mass-produced; each weapon is essentially hand-built for the most part, and thus they remain extremely rare pistols.

Construction of the Wildey is almost entirely of steel; most are made of stainless steel with a bright finish, but a version called the Hunter has a matte stainless steel finish. Barrels come in a variety of lengths, but they can be removed easily by the shooter and replaced with a barrel of a different length. Most Wildey proprietary cartridges are essentially shortened rifle cartridges, and virtually all of these proprietary rounds are based on necked-down versions of the .475 Wildey Magnum cartridge (Mr. Moore’s second chambering for the Wildey pistol). Barrels include a full-length ventilated sighting rib, along with a ramp front sight (with interchangeable blades) and a fully adjustable rear sight. The operating system is unique; it uses gas operation, but this system includes an air/hydraulic piston along with vent holes that actually drive the action as well as somewhat soften the massive recoil. The Wildey is also a double-action weapon, with several internal safeties, a manual safety, and a decocker. The operating system allows the Wildey to digest many types of ammunition and bullet types, ranging from rubber to steel-cored, and from sub-loadings to powerful types of wildcat versions of its cartridges. This system also allows Mr. Moore to adjust the Wildey to fire variant cartridges at the request of certain customers (and some of the chamberings listed below are exceedingly rare).

Twilight 2000 Notes: This was an extremely rare weapon in the Twilight 2000 timeline even before the war, and close to impossible to find afterwards. The ammunition is also quite difficult to find, and most found after the November Nuclear Strikes is handloaded by owners of a Wildey pistol. The .41, .44, and .45 Wildey Magnum chamberings are not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Wilkinson Linda

Notes: The Linda is a large assault pistol which was designed for civilian, military, and police use. Police sales were virtually nonexistent, and the military was not interested, but some civilian sales were made. The Linda, with its large magazine capacity, was first banned in California and then by the Brady Gun Ban, and production was never resumed. The Linda is a large pistol which looks more like a small submachinegun or machine pistol than a standard automatic pistol, but it was made only in semiautomatic form (though it is reputedly easy to convert to automatic). The construction is largely of steel, though the pistol grip is of PVC plastic and the fore-end is of maple. The rear sight is adjustable and protected by large dog-ears, and the front sight is an adjustable post also protected by large dog-ears. The Linda is also drilled and tapped for a base for a scope or other optics.

Some parts of the big brother of the Linda, the Terry carbine (see US Sporting Rifles W-Z), can be combined with the Linda to produce a rather unusual (if illegal) weapon. The barrel of the Linda and Terry are interchangeable, and the Terry’s stock may be added to the Linda. The intent of the manufacturers was to produce a kit to change the Linda into a sort of faux Terry, but the long barrel may be added to the Linda without adding the stock to produce a very long-barreled pistol, or the stock may be added without changing the barrel, producing a stocked (and highly illegal under US law) pistol. Statistics for these variations are provided below, but the GM should not the legal status in games where it may be applicable (such as Merc 2000 or Dark Conspiracy). The Terry barrel is 16.2 inches long (as opposed to the 8.3-inch Linda barrel) and is usually tipped with a conical flash suppressor. The stock is of maple and does not fold.

The Linda’s design is quite evolved, but does have some shortcomings and quirks. The magazine release and the croosbolt safety are located one above each other on the left side and are the same size, so those who are unfamiliar with the Linda may accidentally release the magazine when they intended to put it on safety, or vice versa. Field stripping is extremely complicated and requires tools; a full armorer disassembly is even more difficult. Reassembly can also be difficult, because some parts look at first glance the same and can be confused. The Linda has trouble digesting ammunition with thin-walled brass, and also tends to jam when firing hollow-point ammunition.
