What do you chose? Smile

Surprised no one mentioned Glock 17. Wasn't it in production in 1982?

Whatever I picked in 1983, it would have been replaced in 1984 after I saw Sonny Crocket's Bren Ten.

And you would have had the baddest single shot out there.

IIRC D&D couldn’t reliably get magazines for the Bren. Smile

Yep. There was such a bottleneck in magazine supply that they resorted to shipping Bren Tens with no magazine, just an IOU for a magazine in the box.

I’d visit Austria and find some dude working on plastic rods and knives and see if he would like to partner with me to make a plastic pistol.

High power. The handgun of choice for the trans-national armed professional of the early 80s.

And Gaston would say: "Why would I need to partner with you? I already designed the Glock 17 two years ago (1981) and it entered production last year (1982)..."
