  This weapon is based on the long barreled 9mm Luger pistols issued to
German submarine and artillery troops during WWII.  These pistols had
barrels just under a foot long (1 foot = 30.5cm).  They had optional
stocks and 32 round drum magazines.  The provided a weapon that in a pinch
could serve as a pistol, a carbine or a submachine gun.  It didn't serve
any of these functions as well as a seperate weapon designed for each
function.  It did how fit the role for these non-front line troops.
Given the non-military function of GUESS, such a weapon would fit for a
lot of the crew.
 
 
  The 9x20mm ETC round I designed has a average barrel length of 10cm.
FF&S rules allows a maximum barrel length of 23cm.  I added 8cm of
muzzle brake and flash suppressor for a total barrel length of 31cm.
The longer barrel nearly doubled the muzzle energy. This more than
doubled the range and brought the damage up to 3.  This barrel has a
plastic grip attached to the bottom of the barrel, along the back two
thirds.  This allows the firer to steady the weapon without burning his
or her hand.  Such action is usually taken only when the detachable
carbine stock is attached.  This stock more than triples the range.
I also designed 20 and 32 round magazines which would extend out the
bottom of the grip.  These come in handy when firing in 3 or 5 round
burst mode.
  Of course various sighting options can be added as well.
 
  I figure that the weapon is issued as a heavy pistol with the 9cm
barrel.  The 31cm barrel/MB/FS combination, stock and extra long
magazines would be availabe to crew memebers at the decrestion of the
mission commander.
