This is a just-for-fun page of sorts for a mod I really love: the AMC TC. I've been meaning to do this for the past several months, but only recently have I started working on it. Anyways, here you go.

AMC TC
AMC TC is a free-to-play standalone Duke Nukem 3D total conversion for the PC. It is developed by the AMC TC Developers, a team of freelance modders who have released several mods for the 1996 FPS prior to the development of the TC. The game's first episode was released in 2011, with the second and third episodes being released in 2015 and 2019, respectively.
Overview
The game is set an unspecified amount of time after the events of Duke Nukem 3D. In response to the as-of-yet unexplained disappearance of the Earth Defense Force's top agent, Duke Nukem, a man working for both the EDF and its offense-oriented counterpart, the Earth Attack Force, commissions one of his old friends to put together an elite task force to tackle the most severe threats against Earth, called the AMC Squad. The player can play as one of 10 agents, each with their own abilities and arsenals, and engage in different missions of varying difficulty and fight against several factions inhabiting the game's world.
Each character's arsenal can be customized with different special weapons to allow for different approaches to combating enemies, such as equipping an assault rifle with armor-piercing rounds to fight armored enemies. In addition, the game has a research system where the player can unlock different buffs, ammo types, weapons, and other items to help fight against enemies, and a weapon upgrade system where the player can spend credits on vending machines to upgrade a character's base weaponry.
The following weapons appear in the video game AMC TC:
Handguns
Glock 18
The Glock 18 is James Stanfield's default Slot 2 weapon. It is a decent pistol, with good accuracy, an 18-round magazine and a fast rate of fire, but weak damage. The Glock can be upgraded with an extended magazine (increasing the size to an incorrect 30 rounds), a fire rate mod (giving it a full-auto fire mode), and a mod that increases the Glock's damage, turning it into a powerful machine pistol.
Colt M1911A1
A nickel-plated Colt M1911A1 appears as the "M1911" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James, replacing his default Glock 18. It has much better stopping power at the cost of a lower rate of fire and a smaller magazine (8 rounds); however, it has the ability to accept silver bullets, which allows the gun to be used against supernatural enemies, such as sorcerers and Lost spirits. Acquiring this gun is a bit esoteric, as the player needs to complete Episode 4 of the AMC TC's prequel mod, Imagination World 2, get the good ending of the episode, and then copy the newly created "iw_complete.amctc" file over to the AMC TC's data folder.
OTs-33 Pernach
The OTs-33 Pernach appears as simply the "OTs-33" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. Compared to the Glock 18, the OTs-33 Pernach boasts a larger magazine size of 27 rounds and a faster rate of fire. It can be purchased from the Shopkeeper once the player has rescued Matvei from the bunker in the mission "The Revolution."
FN Five-seveN
The FN Five-seveN appears as the "FN-57" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. It boasts a 20-round magazine with armor-piercing rounds and is equipped with a laser-aiming module, which can be toggled with the alt-fire key. It is a good weapon overall, with better damage, better accuracy and the ability to penetrate enemy body armor. It can be purchased from the Shopkeeper for 15k base budget.
Jericho 941
A gold-plated Jericho 941 appears as the "Golden Jericho" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. It is unlocked by completing all of Episode 1 on Expert difficulty or higher, then purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 70k base budget. It boasts better damage and accuracy, plus it has the ability to damage all enemy types (including supernatural enemies) with its gold bullets; however, it has a slower rate of fire and a smaller magazine size of 9 rounds.
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK appears as simply the "PPK" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for James. It is equipped with a suppressor and an 8-round magazine, has armor-piercing capability, and is concealable, meaning it will not be taken from the player should they enter areas where they will lose their weapons otherwise. It can be purchased from the Shopkeeper.
Tokarev TT-30
The Tokarev TT-30 appears as the "TT-30 Tokarev" and is Highwire's default Slot 2 weapon. A good weapon, it boasts decent damage and accuracy, but is hampered by its small magazine of 8 rounds. It can be upgraded with an extended magazine (increasing the size to 20 rounds), a fire rate mod (which somehow turns the pistol into a fully automatic machine pistol), and an accuracy mod.
AMC Auto Mag
The AMC Auto Mag Pistol appears as the "Auto Mag" and is a special Slot 2 weapon for Highwire. It boasts very high stopping power and great accuracy for a pistol, but shares the same rate of fire and magazine size as an nonupgraded Tokarev TT-30. In addition, the pistol's accuracy will falter with rapid shots, thus necessitating a slow but steady fire rate in order to hit distant targets. The weapon's rounds are capable of penetrating enemy body armor, but will bounce off of heavy armor, such as powersuits. It is available by purchasing it from the Shopkeeper for 20k base budget.
Heckler & Koch VP70M
A modified Heckler & Koch VP70M pistol appears as the "Remote Dart Gun" and serves as the default Slot 7 weapon for Rusty Nails. It fires small high-explosive darts that can be remotely detonated through an unseen mechanism, as well as incendiary darts that emit a ring of fire upon detonation, setting alight anyone unfortunate to be caught in the blast. There is no limit as to how many darts can be set, allowing for crafty players to set traps on unsuspecting enemies.
Sphinx 3000
A pistol based on the Sphinx 3000 pistol appears as the "MS-Corp Pistol" and serves as the default Slot 2 weapon for Mikko Sandt. It is a select-fire machine pistol, capable of semi-automatic and fully automatic fire, and is equipped with a laser aiming module and armor-piercing rounds. It boasts a good rate of fire, accuracy, and armor penetration capability. The pistol can be upgraded with an extended magazine (increasing its size from 20 rounds to 40 rounds), an accuracy mod, and a rate-of-fire mod.
