.640 cal. Archwell Magnum break-action revolver.
When compromising means the difference between a good and great revolver, our designers at Archwell Defense Industries ensure that no compromise ever taints our latest offering, the MR-6 Scylla.
~ Excerpt from a Archwell advertisement poster.
A powerful six-shooter with a hammer designed to facilitate fan-firing. This particular weapon has became a promotion gift for any GRAF soldier who achieved the rank of Warrant Officer, 2nd Class.
Built from a Colt Dragoon, the chamber holding the cartridges has been enlarged to facilitate the more powerful .640 cal. Archwell Magnum round designed for large-caliber handguns. Operation is as you expect from a single-action/double-action revolver - the user can either pull the trigger, or cock the hammer prior to firing, resulting in a lighter trigger pull.
The grip can be replaced with various third-party designs, including one with a built-in stock for sharpshooting.
Other features include a vented barrel jacket and rail system.

8.64x61mm modular marksman rifle.
Previously known as the SR-864, it's a massive leap of quality compared to its preset counterpart.
As to my knowledge, Archwell 8.64mm rounds trumps any existing full-size rifle cartridge used by NATO and Warsaw Pact countries in terms of power and penetration, so if you need to hit hard, this is your go-to choice.
Because this gun is firing a big round, you would expect big recoil, but thanks to this rifle's dual gas/spring recoil mitigation systems, your arm won't be dislocated after one magazine at the very least.
Along with this rifle, I'm also experimenting with PMG-made backgrounds. Let me know what you think of the back and the rifle.

Paris (English /ˈpærɪs/, i/ˈpɛrɪs/; French: [paʁi] ( listen)) is the capital and largest city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in the north of the country, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. Within its administrative limits (the 20 arrondissements), Paris has a population of about 2,230,000, and its metropolitan area is one of the largest population centres in Europe, with more than 12 million inhabitants.
An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris had become, by the 12th century, one of Europe's foremost centres of learning and the arts and was the largest city in the Western world until the turn of the 18th century. Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres and its influences in politics, education, entertainment, media, science, and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.
Paris and the Paris region account for a quarter of the gross domestic product of France and has one of the largest city GDPs in the world, with €572 billion in 2010. Considered as green and highly liveable, the city and its region are the world's leading tourism destination, hosting four UNESCO World Heritage Sites and many international organizations, including UNESCO and the European

Took a shot of a woman walking towards me. She covered her face not because of the camera but because of the sun.

.44 cal. Magnum single/double-action handgun.
A powerful handgun that superseded the FNX-45 as the US and Canadian Armed Forces' primary sidearm.
Using mighty .44 Magnum rounds in lieu of the more popular and traditional .45 ACP, this handgun may be a bit uncontrollable at times, but the stopping power it possesses is undeniable.
As the successor to the FNX-45, it shares the high modularity of the aforementioned pistol (as well as an extremely high magazine capacity), with replaceable iron sights, back strap, side plates, bottom rail, threaded barrel, 17 round magazine and even a slide stop piece. It is also completely ambidextrous.
