Ammo: 12 Gauge Shell

The KashKow Kicker is a durable and reliable piece of equipment. Built from milled, chromed steel with wooden furniture, it is somewhat weighty but solid, allowing one to reliably use it as a club, leave it in a muddy puddle three weeks and then still fire without fault. As a smoothbore and simple weapon it is not recommended for long ranged shooting, but with its smooth pump action and 6 shell box magazine it is quick to ready and use.

The KashKow Kicker is pump-action magazine with a box magazine and is quite popular with hate-groups in southern USA.  It features a simple close-bolt pump-action with wide internals, which makes it nearly impossible to jam.  The barrel is chromed (which is quite flashy) and the wooden furniture is hickory - which makes it quite solid as a club.  The double-stack box magazine foregoes the traditional tube-magazine design, and in the interest of simplicity simply detaches with a button on the left side.  There's no lock on the pump action, so it's possible to partially open the chamber by accident.  Luckily this doesn't cause any out-of-battery fires, but it can cause failure to fire.  This doesn't allow for slamfiring since the hammer is cocked by the action - if the round is unseated or not yet seated, then the hammer will "miss" the primer and need to be reset by another pump.

It's not accurate - which is fair, as a shotgun, but this means slug rounds aren't widely considered in the smooth-bore design.  The 12 gauge shell is a nice, hefty, common size, but since the KKK shotgun uses paper casings for the shells moisture is a concern (if found left in a muddy puddle for three weeks, it is recommended to replace whatever ammo was loaded).  The sights are, quite simply, the length of the barrel.  The pump action tends to wobble a bit from side to side since it slides around the single tube, further decreasing accuracy.  The pump is also quite small, and it's possible for errant fingers to touch the chrome barrel (though unless it's been used heavily, this isn't too bad).

It is remarkably cheap and remarkably reliable.

Cost: $7 per shipment

The tighter tolerances stop the rattle from the pump action, though tighter tolerances aren't the sort of thing that would increase long-range performances.  For that, a longer barrel is required - or a choke for pellet rounds.  For now, the tighter tolerances give the weapon a more satisfying and cleaner action, and we put a simple set of iron sights on the top of the barrel.

No price change.

Type: Rifle
The KashKow Lancer is a bolt-action, repeating firearm, chambered for 7.65×40mm rounds. It includes an integrated magazine, fed from the top with either individual rounds or 4-round stripper clips. As an Infantry arm, it is intended to be of passable accuracy and stopping power at medium and long range, easy to maintain, easy to use, and most of all, easy to produce.

The only new design of the season, KashKow branches out from shotguns to rifles.  The KashKow Lancer is an extremely traditional bolt-action rifle; stupidly simple, and stupidly cheap.  The gun won't win any awards for accuracy or range, but it'll kill just as well as any other gun and the simple design makes maintenance and use easy.  The safety is a pin which locks the trigger in place (not a very safe design, but very simple) and the sights are a simple knife a "V" pair, requiring the user to gauge bullet drop manually.

The bolt can be a little sticky and requires some force to cycle rounds out of the 4+1 integrated magazine (fed by stripper clips or manual insertion), and if the wooden furniture gets wet accuracy takes a dip as the wood warps.  But other than that, it's a very passable, era-appropriate rifle.

At only $8 per batch, it is also the cheapest rifle produced so far.

Cost: $8 per shipment.
