Malorian Arms, Best Weapons in Cyberpunk.

you probably associate malorian arms with Johnny silver hand's massive hand Cannon and this 14 mm or 577 Nitro Express Beast that the rocker boy commissions to fend off cyber psycho fans is Iconic but malan does much much more the 42 caliber Overture revolver is one of their more uninspired pieces of iron hey I'm Marcus military vet former science fiction author and former weapons instructor I usually talk about fictional weapons but this channel is focused more on the lore of cyber punkin stuff and in this case the lore of fictional weapons so let's explore malorian arms their history and some of their fun weapon designs Aaron malor was a military veteran of some vague South American conflict serving for 8 years in the Marine Corps potentially fighting alongside Johnny silverhand that's not official lore but them having a prior relationship would make sense anyway they were kind of doing similar during the same time anyway Aaron malor started a Gunsmithing business after that that gained a good following of night City solos he was able to expand to a zero gravity facility on the Crystal Palace you know the really fancy Space Place he so he was really good what about 30 years before cyberpunk 2077 he pretty much stopped putting out anything new we don't know why canonically so let's go over some of his designs before that as a manufacturer with a reputation for heavy Firepower he didn't use gunpowder too often the malan arm sliver gun used flywheels you know the things in electric Nerf guns to shave off 4 cm long ceramic fragments from a block sending them out at about 12200 ft per second essentially a close-range shotgun that was only as loud as an electronic toothbrush it didn't do too much damage but since it shot flette spikes it got through armor really well and then his heavy flette pistol fired 120 grain 4 mm tungsten spikes at 1,700 ft per second using a high capacity liquid gas propellant Elon malor really liked unconventional designs and this thing shredded armor but could only be fired by someone with the right safety chip in a bracelet or implant really cool design and I think we're starting to see some inspiration for silver hands gun next up is essentially a larger submachine gun version of silver hands pistol at least they both fired a similar 14 mm round this was designed for at least somebody with two cyber arms and reinforced muscle and bone but more for full body conversion cyborgs which side note cyberpunk red just dropped those rules for for them and I'm pretty excited about that anyway the malan arms 3600 super SMG was pretty inaccurate but could crack heavy armor at Point Blank Range so was useful he also partnered with Beretta to make a more traditional submachine gun round with a three round under Barrel grenade launcher the launcher was also sold separately by him all because Aaron malor really likes Firepower the last SMG before we get to his biggest gun his sub flette gun this thing was based on the German Space Magic G11 which I talk about regularly on my other channel and it fires a 10 mm rounde that is itself packed with six steel penetrators that shred through armor I really like how all his weapons either brute force their way through armor with massive rounds or bypass it with small darts all his guns have the same goal but different ways of achieving it and the big gun the malorian arms assault Cannon he made specifically for legendary solo Morgan Blackhand the only rival Adam Smasher really had this thing might sound familiar it fires 75 caliber smart grenades using a low power charge to keep recoil easy and these projectiles were actually rocket powered laser guided micro missiles similar to Smart bullets with fragment doped explosive gel Warheads since it's low recoil this thing is made of carbon composits that make it incredibly light it it's a Warhammer 40K Space Marine Bolter but if the Imperium didn't fear technology this video was a lot of fun to make research all that and if there's any other things that are cyberpunk or sci-fi lore related that you're interested in let me know
