Weapon lore and shit[edit | edit source]
HSP-12[edit | edit source]
The Atlas HSP-12 is a semi-automatic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. The HSP was the service pistol of the SDC from its creation in 2059 to 2105, when it was replaced with the newer AE9. The HSP-12 was an attempt by Atlas to create a new, more futuristic firearm as a result of the rapid development of the astronautics industry.
Development of the weapon began in 2052, after the signing of the Constellation Act. Atlas developed several mechanisms for the design of the HSP, while keeping its famous reliability. The pistol is striker-fired with a 15-round magazine, also being offered with a 19-round extended magazine and a 10-round restricted capacity magazine. The pistol features a flared magwell for ease of reloading and integral flashlight/laser module below the barrel. It also includes an oversized trigger guard which covers the hand and a unique button trigger, located in the normal trigger area. This trigger, intended to reduce moving parts, takes the form of a circular button on the front of the grip. This button activates the striker the same as a normal trigger, but has much less trigger pull and less chance of accidental firing. However, the trigger mechanism was found to be a complicated change and confused personnel, and subsequent weaponry has used standard triggers. Controls on the weapon are minimal, with a magazine catch above the trigger and a slide release behind it. The weapon features a grip safety. All controls re designed to be ambidextrous, though the ejection port is right-handed only.
In 2059, with the creation of the SDC, a contract search began for its service weapons. The SDC searched for a pistol with heavy reliability in unexpected circumstances. Atlas entered the HSP-12 into trials and beat out all other entries. Based on its performance, it was chosen as the official service pistol of the SDC. It served through to 2105, where the SDC, looking for new weaponry to replace their current equipment, chose the AE9 pistol for the next service pistol.
Weapons made by the same company (based on aesthetic similarities)[edit | edit source]
OK so not every gun by the same company has to look similar but I think that different companies have different design philosophies.
