Heckler & Koch MP2057
     Based on the MP2000, the MP2057 is a twenty-first century submachinegun
designed for special operations. The weapon incorporates all the features of
the legendary MP5 submachinegun series produced in the past 70 years. The
MP2057 has a variable setting gas system for silenced operations, as well as
a detachable suppressor, as well as a collapsible stock that fits neatly to
the butt of the weapon, with no protrusions, and includes a transparent
magazine to allow the user to quickly determine how many rounds he or she
has left. The weapon is fully ambidextrous, with the bolt and magazine
release buttons on both sides of the trigger.
     The silencing system is the main unique feature of the weapon, able to
select the amount of gas that bleeds the propellant, preventing the bullet
from achieving supersonic speeds, making the weapon quiter than normal
suppressed submachine guns. The system has two settings: a low pressure
setting that lowers the velocity of the bullet, thereby reducing the "crack"
a normal bullet makes when fired. The second setting is the "normal" setting
for standard supersonic ammunition, use normal SMG ranges. This requires a
Simple Action to switch between the settings. On high pressure without the
suppressor, use normal rules, as well as with the suppressor. On the low
setting, reduce the Power by 1, and use Shotgun ranges, and add a further +2
to any Perception Tests, along with the suppressor. The weapon features iron
sights for both settings to allow the shooter get the best accuracy
possible. The detachable suppressor is another unique feature is the
removable suppressor, which is longer than normal to allow it to thread
inside of the barrel shroud. When fully tightened the rigidity of the barrel
allows better accuracy*. The MP2057 comes equipped with integral Smartlink
II hardware. The other feature is a manual mechanism that allows the cocking
handle be used as a bolt-action style weapon. The cocking handle can rotate
up to 90 degrees and it requires a Simple Action to fire between shots,
which the mode can only be SS.
