===Colt Single Action Army=== | |||
The Landerson Peacebringer, like the [[Colt Single Action Army]] it is inspired by, was an immediate success when it was introduced to the market. It was soon adopted by the Imperial Army as their standard sidearm and served faithfully for years. While nowadays displaced by various double-action revolvers and semi-automatic pistols, it remains an extremely common sight across the Empire and beyond. Expect to see the Peacebringer in the holsters of everyone from Averland cattlemen to Nordland Coast Watch officers. Rugged and reliable, the Peacebringer is known for its stopping power, provided by its .45 Landerson Centrefire cartridge. | |||

===Colt New Army & Navy=== | |||
Another Landerson product, the New Army Special revolver was made to replace the Peacebringer. This also required lowering the caliber to the less powerful .38 Long Landerson. This decline in stopping power led the Imperial Army to request a new semi-automatic pistol, leading to the development of the Griffon 45. The New Army Special enjoys a second life as a quick-firing sidearm on the civilian market, and can be found in most good gun stores for a handful of Crowns. Based on the [[Colt New Army & Navy]]. | |||

Developed for the modern law enforcer in mind, the Landerson Police Model sees much service in the Empire's cities. Rural sheriff's departments tend to prefer the Peacebringer, however. It is based on the [[Colt New Service]]. | |||

Revision as of 01:24, 3 June 2022
A just-for-fun place for various fictional media adaptations of my own personal writing. I hope one day there can be official IMFDB pages for these things. But, one step at a time.
More Than Human
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
More Than Human is a 20xx science fiction romance film based on the novel of the same name.
In 2040, the Allied Biotechnology corporation announces the creation of the Synthetic Humanoid Construct- machines designed to be perfect replicas of Human beings, down to the smallest of the smallest detail. Blurring the lines between organic and technological, the "Synths" are given life by the most advanced artificial intelligence ever created. Eight random people around the world are given the opportunity to have a Synth in their home as par tof a field testing program before worldwide release. One of these people is Carter Hansen of Tyler, Texas. Initially distant and put off by the presence of his Synth named Cassie, Carter soon finds that Cassie is not what he expects. The Human and Synthetic form a unexpected and groundbreaking bond that will need to survive the world around them.
The following weapons were used in the film More Than Human:
Handguns
"Legionnaire Arms Praetorian"
Carter owns a fictional revolver based on the designs of the Mateba Model 6 Unica and Chiappa Rhino. In-universe, it is chambered in .357 Magnum, possess a 6 inch barrel, is made of various advanced 3D printed polymers, and is manufactured by the Legionnaire Arms company of Salt Lake City, Utah, which will be founded in 2028. Cassie (Courtney Hope) uses the Praetorian when she and Carter visit a shooting range. She uses it to make an impressive 2,000 meter shot, thanks to her various machine capabilities that far exceed those of a Human.

Lifted Veil: Nightfall
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lifted Veil: Nightfall is a 20xx science fiction action-thriller, the first film adaptation of the Lifted Veil universe.
Eli Hayes is a veteran agent of the United Nations Anomalous Defense Initiative, a globe-spanning secret organization founded in the aftermath of World War II with the mission of protecting Humanity from paranormal threats. Formerly assigned to the Northeastern United States Anomalies Task Force, Eli has been recently reassigned to the Southern United States Anomalies Task Force to help rebuild the depleted Armed Reaction Team 88 in the aftermath of a failed operation.
As Eli adjusts to life in the South and the different way of doing things than what he is used to in the Northeast, Eli learns that one of the Initiative's enemies, the Black Sun Collective, is planning something big. Their plans seem to hinge on Kelsey Bracken, a 17-year-old high school student living an average life in suburban Texas. What Kelsey does not realize is that she is a thaumatologist (the Initiative's term for a person born with the ability to use magic). Beyond that, Kelsey is a "Primus," a rare individual capable of wielding extraordinary magical power with ease, whose skill at magic wielding needs to only be "awakened" for them to use.
Reaching Kelsey first, Eli finds themselves pursued by Black Sun agents and hired guns, while traitors in the Initiative betray them. Together, Eli and Kelsey embark on a road trip through the South while Kelsey must quickly learn how to embrace her powers.

Warhammer: Age of Metal
(Something a little different- a fanfiction by me set in the Warhammer Fantasy Battle setting, set in an alternate universe where the End Times that destroyed the Warhammer World did not happen. In this setting, 250 years after the last great war against the Forces of Chaos, the Empire has advanced from approximately mid-16th century levels of technological development to technology levels similar to that of the 1910s-1920s- with all the changes to society and culture that come with it. As with many other elements of Warhammer Fantasy, the firearms and other weapons used by the Empire and other Human nations in this era are heavily inspired by weapons that existed during the real early 20th centuries- with some exceptions.)
250 years after the so-called "End Times", the World endures. While dark creatures and twisted powers scheme and plot, the Men of the Empire stand firm and resolute. Lacking the raw strength or magical aptitude of their foes, mankind's answer has been the forces of industry, science, and technology. It is a new age, a new time. While old foes gather once again, humanity stands ready to show them the future of warfare.
Pistols
Colt M1911
The Landerson Manufacturing Griffon 45 is a semi-automatic pistol that is largely based on the original Colt M1911. Chambered in the potent .45 LSL (Landerson Self-Loading) cartridge, it is one of the most widely-manufactured pistols in the Empire and enjoys great popularity among civilians who can afford one. In the Imperial Army, it is one of the handguns commissioned officers and NCOs may choose as an issued sidearm and is privately purchased by enlisted men as well. The Griffon 45 is also widely exported to the nations of the Old World as well. A licensed copy of the pistol is manufactured in the United Provinces of Tilea, where it is the standard sidearm of the United Provinces Army and Marine Corps. Various unlicensed copies and derivative designs are manufactured across the Old World.
(Landerson Manufacturing, their products, and much of their history, borrows heavily from Colt's Manufacturing Company.)
Colt Model 1903
The predecessor to the Landerson Griffon 45, the Landerson Manufacturing Model CA is based on the Colt Model 1903. Popular on the civilian market, the Model CA was never widely used in military service due to the .32 Self-Loading cartridge being considered too weak to reliably put down many of the fell creatures encountered by the Imperial Army. It is, however, used frequently by troops who primarily engage Human threats, like Norscan Marauders, Chaos Cultists, and bandits. It is one of the sidearms authorized for use by the Altdorf Police Department.
Baby Browning
The Drakon Arms Stinger is a popular concealed carry option. Many of these can be found in the waistcoats and pocketbooks of many a citizen of Altdorf, Nuln, and Middenheim.
Bergmann-Bayard
The Holtz Company Outrider is an early semi-automatic pistol based on the Bergmann-Bayard. A novel design when it first hit the civilian market, they have since fallen out of favor for more modern designs. Second-hand Outriders can be found in most decent gun stores and will do a satisfactory, if not particularly exemplary, job of protecting its wielder from man-sized threats.
Borchardt C-93
Once revolutionary, the Craven & Hayes T5 Automatic has been mostly relegated to a cheap self-defense option found on the second-hand market. It is still potent and a fine combat pistol, one preferred by residents of the Imperial boondocks who can afford one over the traditional six-shooters. It is based on the Borchardt C-93.
Frommer Stop
Another offering by the Holtz Company, the Imperial Defender Model is a popular self-defense option based on the Frommer Stop.
FN M1903
The Drakon Arms M66 pistol is based on the FN M1903. The M66 is frequently encountered on the civilian market. It is also used by Imperial law enforcement and militia in some of the wealthier provinces.
Luger P08
For many in the Imperial Army, the gold standard of sidearms is the Bellum Model 9. Based upon the Luger P08, the Model 9 is so named for the cartridge it was designed for, 9mm Imperial, a cartridge rapidly gaining popularity across the Old World. It is one of the authorized officer's sidearms and also a popular choice for civilians.
Mauser C96
The Cossmann-Werk R18 self-loading pistol is, nowadays, somewhat archaic compared to modern semi-automatic pistol offerings. Despite this, it remains extremely popular throughout the Old World and is frequently carried on an unofficial basis by the men and women of the Imperial Army. It is based on the Mauser C96. As with its real-world counterpart, it can be used with a detachable shoulder stock, which doubles as a holster. Due to its popularity, Cossmann-Werk has recently introduced detachable-magazine fed models to modernize the popular design (based on the Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer, minus the full-automatic capability), as well as a conversion kit allowing for owners to convert their clip-loading pistols into detachable magazine-fed models.
Steyr M1912
The Thalmann Armory P.02 Repeating Pistol is a semi-automatic pistol hailing from the province of Ostland. As such, it is extensively used by law enforcement in Ostland and by its militia, but is encountered rather infrequently across the rest of the Empire. Ostlanders like to claim it is the finest pistol ever made, of course. It is based on the Steyr M1912.
Revolvers
Colt Single Action Army
The Landerson Peacebringer, like the Colt Single Action Army it is inspired by, was an immediate success when it was introduced to the market. It was soon adopted by the Imperial Army as their standard sidearm and served faithfully for years. While nowadays displaced by various double-action revolvers and semi-automatic pistols, it remains an extremely common sight across the Empire and beyond. Expect to see the Peacebringer in the holsters of everyone from Averland cattlemen to Nordland Coast Watch officers. Rugged and reliable, the Peacebringer is known for its stopping power, provided by its .45 Landerson Centrefire cartridge.
Another Landerson product, the New Army Special revolver was made to replace the Peacebringer. This also required lowering the caliber to the less powerful .38 Long Landerson. This decline in stopping power led the Imperial Army to request a new semi-automatic pistol, leading to the development of the Griffon 45. The New Army Special enjoys a second life as a quick-firing sidearm on the civilian market, and can be found in most good gun stores for a handful of Crowns. Based on the Colt New Army & Navy.
Colt New Service
Developed for the modern law enforcer in mind, the Landerson Police Model sees much service in the Empire's cities. Rural sheriff's departments tend to prefer the Peacebringer, however. It is based on the Colt New Service.
