I'm trying to decide what kinds of guns to give the main characters. I think I've already decided on the H&K USP 45. however I'm also looking for an assault rifle for them to use. Note, size isn't really an issue since it's stored in the car until a "shit hits the fan" moment. By the way, massive thanks to everyone that suggested the Jaguar XJR as the car I use! I think I'm going to end up using the Jaguar x351 XJR.

Edit: The gun is being used in Italy, Malta, and all over northern africa. The people are bookrunners (think drug runners, just with banned books) in a dystopian society. They also have a large amount of money backing them, so it doesn't have to be old weapons. Also it needs to be able to shoot armor piercing rounds and have plenty of stopping power.

Colt 1911 in .45 ACP

or a Ruger GP100 Double Action Revolver in .357 magnum with a 6" barrel

No, too ostentatious.

Ruger Super Redhawk? That's one badass gun.

Assault rifle, hmmm... How much into detail do you want to get about it? What role does it play? Is there a background to the AR? Does it have to be a specific origin [US,Russian, etc]?

M1911 Colt .45 caliber pistol for your consideration:

If you want to keep it in the H&K family, why not a G36? Collapsible stock for easy maneuverability, reliable multiple variants for different uses and is a go to favorite in over 30 countries across various forms of military service and law enforcement.

SIG also makes some good stuff too like the SG 552

If you really want something that will pack a punch there is no replacement for the Barrett M468, based off the M4 this thing is not messing around as it is firing off 6.8 SPC rounds at 750 rounds per minute. They don't make these anymore but you can get the newer version in their REC7.

Not exactly an assault rifle, but you could keep it in the HK family and go MP5

Yeah, my dad has one. Just a bit too unwieldy for a carry gun. The .357 is plenty of stopping power and a blued revolver is soo badass.

The new one. Mp 45 or something? Or a p90 for compactness. He's made it hard withiut the context and background... spies? Survivalists? Muricans? Commies? Era?
Mp5SD3. And MP5K. Covers just about all of it....

I'm not too much into detail, my characters aren't actually fighting so it's more of self defense, it needs to be able to shoot armor piercing rounds with plenty of stopping power and just be a good all around rifle. The story takes place in Italy, Malta, and northern Africa so it would be pretty cool if it was made in europe, preferably Italy.

Yeah, the Vaquero looks extremely badass also.

No, working on a story that I'm planning on writing. Now if Production IG, Brain's Base, or Madhouse want to adapt it I wouldn't object! HAHA...a man can dream.

HAHA...a man can *move to Japan and cause the studio head's daughter to fall in love with him, thus getting his foot in the door.

Fixed.

I really like the MP5 but I think the 9mm is too weak for what I plan to use it for. (Armored cars chasing them)

I am a suker for Ruger revolvers (I own a 44 mag redhawk) but it's too long for concealed carry. I am considering the 1911 in .45 however!

it's looking like that's what I'll be using. *Mumbles* I better get some free stuff from H-K for all the product endorcement

May I then suggest for your consideration the Beretta AR70 , with a 556 round and armor piercing 223 rounds it would be a local gun, not fancy but not shabby. And since it is the weapon the military used to have, it is popular. Easy to find, easy to find rounds for, and parts to fix it.

I like writing :) you should totally publish what you end up with on here

A .357 with a 6" barrel will be fine.

I do like the Idea of using a 5.56 rifle since I could realistically have my characters take ammo from other guns. So at the moment I'm between the Beretta AR70 and the HK g36.

go with a CETME. it's like an HK g3 but made in spain. it fires standard NATO 7.62 ammo which should be in decent supply pretty much the world over. you could also go FAL.

Standard side arm in the military for 2 World wars and Korea and Vietnam

I would lean towards the P 90. Odd and yet futuristic and otherworldly, yet familiar at the same time. Compact so more room for smugglers to stash stuff and easy to conceal.
Otherwise, nothing says third world like an AK...

HK416, G36c, AK74, Bushmaster ACR, and FN 2000 just a few

Thanks! After several suggestions, I think I'm gonna end up using the HK G36k since I'm already using HK USP .45.
