New England Firearms Pardner Pump

Notes: Produced by New England Firearms after they became a part of Harrington & Richardson, the Pardner Pump was designed to be an inexpensive (much less in real life than the game price here) but highly reliable shotgun which could fire standard-length or magnum ammunition. It seems to be a sort of amalgamation of the best features of other guns, from the Remington 870’s receiver to the Winchester Model 12’s grooved pump slide. The Pardner Pump is capable of firing most loads and types of shot and slugs. Pardner Pumps accept any Winchester or Mossberg interchangeable choke tube, but only one (Modified) is provided with the weapon when you buy it. The stock is of American walnut, and is of standard format. The trigger is a proven design with a cross-bolt safety that can be manipulated with a thumb and/or forefinger, allowing for quietly taking the gun off safety. The Pardner Pump is known for smooth operation. It has a ventilated sighting rib above the barrel, and a thick recoil pad on the butt. There are four variants of the Pardner Pump: the standard Pardner Pump; the Parnder Pump Synthetic with a synthetic stock and pump slide (which shoots identically to the standard Pardner Pump); the Pardner Pump Turkey, with a 22-inch barrel (as opposed to the standard 28-inch barrel), a synthetic stock with a Mossy Oak camouflage pattern, and Tru-Glo sights at the front and tear of the sighting rib; and the Pardner Pump Combo, which comes with a 28-inch shot barrel and a rifled 22-inch slug barrel for slugs and sabot throwing.

Patriot Arms Tactical

Notes: This is a heavily-modified Remington 870P. Additions include a Speedfeed IV stock with a pistol grip (which also carries four extra rounds in the rear of the stock), a Sidesaddle shell carrier (capacity 6 rounds), an extended tubular magazine, MMC ghost ring rear and tritium front sights, an oversized safety catch, a Specter tactical sling, and a barrel shroud to help in cooling and protect the hands. The mechanism and other working parts are all hard-chromed for durability. The barrel is back-bored to increase the velocity of the individual shot pellets (something which, unfortunately, cannot be simulated in game terms). The Patriot Arms Tactical is finished in Lauer DuraCoat in matte green and black, which is extremely resistant to corrosion and enhances durability. The fore-end of the shotgun has a sleeve for SureFire’s Intensity Combat Lights (included in the cost), a high-intensity flashlight which can be controlled with the hands in the firing position.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This shotgun does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
