State Guards in T2K (Includes User-made Unit)

[Pinhead Slim]

Something else to consider would be how well armed a unit might be based on its state of origin. I don't imagine there are many gunsmiths in most parts of the East Coast but here in Arizona you can't throw a rock without hitting a guy with a small machine shop in his garage, doing good work out of it. I imagine after the nukes full all sorts of those garage-shops will churn out a few select-fire ARs of various quality, and probably a ton of parts like "lightning links" that turn ARs into full auto only but are very simple and easy to make.

Combined with the sheer amount of guns in the state and any unit that began operating out of Phoenix could have all sorts of unique guns, many of them full auto. I have been personally offered an illegal unregistered select fire Mac-10 in trade before, and of course I turned it down but that kind of stuff just happens here. I mean heck, the Big Sandy shoot has been happening twice a year since the 90s, imagine if the largest private gathering of machine guns and artillery pieces in the United States got together right before Thanksgiving Day 1997. All of that firepower and enough ammo to feed it for the several all-day/all-night shoots in one area.
