In this guide, I will show you how to set up a custom weapon page, or if you simply want to help set up weapons.

NOTE!! With some exceptions, we are trying to keep from using Anachronistic weapons (for example a S&W 500, SCAR or anything post 1998, if it was later than September of 1998 and your character is part of Umbrella, the Government, or some sort of specialized group, I'll allow it)

Below is an example I will use on how things are set up, the code at the top is the template from which you may copy to set the page up proper




Type: Handgun (This indicates what TYPE of weapon it is- examples: Handgun, Magnum Handgun, Magnum Revolver, Sub Machinegun-etc)
Model: Beretta M92F Police (SWAT) Custom (This indicates the NAME of the weapon's model)
Creator: Joe & Robert Kendo (This indicates the CREATOR of the weapon. In Raccoon City there are two custom gun shops, KENDO and MacLead, if you're unsure, you can simply put them down, or if the weapon is not personally customized, put down the name of the weapon manufacturer [IE: H&K for a Glock, etc])
Caliber: 9x19mm and 9x19mm +P (This indicates what CALIBER/CALIBRE the weapon is chambered for, ie: the ammo it uses. You don't have to be specific like in this example )
Capacity: 15 (will take civilian, military and police extended magazines) (This indicates the CAPACITY of the weapon, how much ammo a magazine/clip holds. You don't have to be too specific here either if you don't wanna)
Rarity: 2 out of 5 S.T.A.R.S. (LOL meaning a civilian could find it likely if they searched the right places)(This indicates the RARITY of finding it on the streets of Raccoon. Ranked from 1 [the most common] to 5 [one of a kind and 100% Unique]. 5/5 S.T.A.R.S. is used for personal weapons, and can only be found on the respective character's who have them, so are unique unless found on them/the user gives them away. Don't really think too hard on this, as its mostly again, just for fun. So be aware that anything 1-4 is at least common enough to be found on its own, like this example weapon which is essentially RE Outbreak 1&2's RPD issued Beretta but given a little more extra love )

Specifications: (This indicates the DETAILS, the custom bits that make it work. AKA gun talk. If your unsure, let Damian Handy know and he'll help or just make up fluff for you- you can be like 'I don't know' and we'll fill it in for you But this also indicates if it has a silender, flashlight/laser attachment, etc so you can simply fill it in like that if you want )
Non adjustable sights; forward and rearward slide cocking serrations; non-ambidextrous safety, slide lock/release (right handed only); heavy spring; standard overall performance.

Background & Other Details: (This indicates the BACKGROUND for the weapon, as well as extra details like if you want to give the weapon a little more story, etc)

-Created in late August of 1998 by Joseph "Joe" Kendo and Robert "Bob" Kendo of Kendo Gunshop specifically for the R.P.D.'s newly created S.W.A.T. Unit developed in the aftermath of the S.T.A.R.S. Suspension. Based similarly on the S.T.A.R.S. Samurai Edge, but far less eloquent; this weapon is little more a basic Military M9 with only minor customizations to fit the job. It's got a heavier slide and tight spring to handle overpressure (+P) rounds and holds a typical police and military magazine capacity of 15 rounds chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. It may also utilize civilian 10 round magazines.

Though basic, the Brother's Kendo still have an artistic design, with Raccoon City Police Shield Badges inlayed into the wooden checkered grips, and details of on the slide indicating it is a Custom Kendo Work and meant for the R.P.D. Special Weapons And Tactics Unit. Its labeled the 'Type Zero' as its still a prototype, and pretty much has little to no upgrades. The brothers were working on mass producing what they dubbed the SWAT M92F 'Elite II' which only a prototype has been created and outfitted to resemble a Samurai Edge, in the possession of R.P.D. S.W.A.T. Sergeant Benjamin Winters.

The Elite II is more in line with the Samurai Edge in quality, unlike this Type 0.

Most members of the SWAT were issued this weapon, but there are a few RPD officers not associated with the SWAT who have also been issued the firearm to replace their older M1935 Browning HP Handguns. Lieutenant Damian Handy was also issued this firearm but it was mostly kept at his apartment as a self defense weapon; utilizing one of the .45 ACP SWAT Issued 1911's or one of the rarer SWAT issued .50AE Desert Eagles instead. However, when the outbreak started, Damian made use of this starter 9mm handgun to escape his infested apartment and to aid and protect the civilians he's crossed paths with.

Now for Melee Weapons, it will look much the same save, for obvious reasons, you'll leave some parts out:

Type: (Examples Knife, Machete, Ballistic Knife, Sword, Chainsaw, etc)
Creator:
Rarity:  out of 5 S.T.A.R.S.

Specifications:

Background & Other Details:

Now, I'm not going to list the multiple melee weapons you could find in Raccoon City, nor do I want YOU to. Again, this is mostly for fun and if you like to show off your persons weapons AS WELL as orient non weapon familiar users as to what they would find in Raccoon City so they don't have to try and research on the net for hours

So, this is the guide, I hope it teaches you well how to set up the pages!
