Melee:

WI-CS-1 "Chain Sword" Close Combat System (Kitsune):
With the popularity of the Chain Saw as a weapon among Juicers, Wellington Industries decided to expand into a whole new line of chain saw type weapons. Like a chain saw, individual teeth whirl around the blade. Unlike Wellington previous "Chain Saw" designs, the "Teeth" are made from a high density alloy instead of recycled armor materials which makes for a more durable blade. This weapon is already becoming extremely popular with Juicers and Crazies. As well, some supernatural creatures seem to have adopted the weapon. Being with strengths above PS 20 (or any supernatural strength) can use the sword with no penalties. Weaker wielders will be at -2 to strike and -4 to parry. Power is provided by a standard E-Clip
Weight: 12 lbs (5.44 kg)
Mega Damage: 3D6
Maximum Effective Range: Hand to Hand
Payload: The E-Clip powers the chain sword for ninety minutes of continuous use. Every time the chain sword is activated, it drains a minimum of one minute's worth of energy, even if used for less than a minute.
Cost: 30,000 credits
WI-CS-2 "Chain Sabre" Close Combat System (Kitsune):
Lighter version of the chain sword and as a result, easier to use. It works by the same principles as the Chain Sword and individual teeth whirl around the blade at incredible velocities. The "Teeth" are made from a high density alloy instead of recycled armor materials which makes for a more durable blade. Even though lighter than the "Chain Sword", the kickback of the weapon means that it still requires a lot of strength to wield. Being with strengths above PS 18 (or any supernatural strength) can use the sword with no penalties. Weaker wielders will be at -1 to strike and -3 to parry. Power is provided by a standard E- Clip
Weight: 8 lbs (3.63 kg)
Mega Damage: 2D6
Maximum Effective Range: Hand to Hand
Payload: The E-Clip powers the chain sword for one hundred and twenty minutes of continuous use. Every time the chain sword is activated, it drains a minimum of one minute's worth of energy, even if used for less than a minute.
Cost: 25,000 credits
WI-CS-3 "Chain Great Sword" Close Combat System (Kitsune):
Heavier version of the standard chain swords which inflicts even greater damage. It works by the same principles as the Chain Sword and individual teeth whirl around the blade at incredible velocities. The "Teeth" are made from a high density alloy instead of recycled armor materials which makes for a more durable blade. The weapon has even greater kick than the standard chain sword and is even heavier. Still it is better balanced than the Wellington Chainsaw. Being with strengths above PS 22 (or any supernatural strength) can use the sword with no penalties. Weaker wielders will be at -3 to strike and -5 to parry. Power is provided by a standard E-Clip
Weight: 24 lbs (10.88 kg)
Mega Damage: 5D6
Maximum Effective Range: Hand to Hand
Payload: The E-Clip powers the chain sword for sixty minutes of continuous use. Every time the chain sword is activated, it drains a minimum of one minute's worth of energy, even if used for less than a minute.
Cost: 45,000 credits

WI-CC-22 .22 Caliber Mini-Machine Pistol (Kitsune):
While .22 Caliber ammunition is relatively weak, weapons firing if have virtually no recoil and can be fired in burst with little climb. Due to this, many consider the caliber to ideal for crowd control situations. With the introduction of Wellington explosive ammunition, the .22 caliber became more respectable. As a result, Wellington decided to develop an extremely high capacity weapon firing .22 ammunition. They used the old Calico weapon as a basis although the new Wellington weapon is quite a bit smaller. Recently, wizards have found the weapon to be extremely effect when the bullets are enchanted with the spell "Enchant Weapon: Minor" with bursts being extremely destructive.

WI-LP-10-C 10 mm Liquid Propellant Compact Pistol (Kitsune):
This is a new compact pistol design that been produced by Wellington Industries. Instead of using normal gunpowder, the weapon uses a powerful liquid propellant to drive the bullets. This propellant has about four times the forces of nitro-cellulose gunpowder. Because of the extreme recoil of propellant, the gun barrel is specially constructed to reduce recoil. Even so, the weapon has a large amount of recoil and requires a strength of 18 or the weapon has -2 to strike on aimed shots and -4 for bursts. The weapon can be fired in single shot and three round bursts. The weapon has a shorter range than the machine pistol but is concealable.
The weapon can use special explosive rounds to inflict greater damage as well as more conventional rounds. The explosive rounds are becoming quite popular because it can inflict damage on MDC materials.

WI-LP-10-MP 10 mm Liquid Propellant Machine Pistol (Kitsune):
This is a new machine pistol design that been produced by Wellington Industries. Instead of using normal gunpowder, the weapon uses a powerful liquid propellant to drive the bullets. This propellant has about four times the forces of nitro-cellulose gunpowder. Because of the extreme recoil of propellant, the gun barrel is specially constructed to reduce recoil. Even so, the weapon has a large amount of recoil and requires a strength of 15 or the weapon has -1 to strike on aimed shots and -3 for bursts. The weapon can be fired in single shot, three round bursts, and longer bursts. Weapon has a much longer range than the compact version.
The weapon can use special explosive rounds to inflict greater damage as well as more conventional rounds. The explosive rounds are becoming quite popular because it can inflict damage on MDC materials.

WI-50S Fire & Forget Anti Aircraft Missile Launcher (Kitsune):
This launcher is a single shot hand held short range missile launcher. As the name implies, the launcher is designed for ground troops to have a weapon that they can use against aircraft. This missile launcher fills much the same role as the Contemporary Stinger missile launcher does. Unlike the WI-40M, the launcher is reusable. The launcher is heavy and must be operated from a platform or the user must have a strength of 18 or higher. Many other weapon companies manufacture virtually identical missile launchers.

WI-CL3 "Super Claymore" Mine (Kitsune):
Derived from the pre-Rifts claymore mine, this weapon is extremely effective. It is slightly larger than the original Claymore mine and has 1000 super dense alloy spheres instead of steel balls and is backed by two pounds (0.9 kg) of powerful advanced explosive instead of the original C4 plastic explosive. The "Super Claymore" operates in a similar fashion to the original mine and creates a fan of projectiles for a 328 foot (100 meter) cone with a 60 degree arc of danger. Unlike the original Claymore, the Wellington product can be detonated by remote control. The front of the mine is labeled "FRONT" with "TOWARDS ENEMY" like the original Claymore mine.

WI-GL5 Lightweight Revolving Grenade Launcher (Kitsune):
The WI-GL4 Revolving Grenade Launcher is a quite popular weapon but is quite heavy so not popular with some personnel. As a result, a lighter weight weapon was developed. The main weakness is that the weapon has a payload of eight rounds instead of twenty-four. It has a slightly longer barrel for greater range as well. The weapon pops open and can be reloaded with a special speed loader.
Weight: 12.5 lbs (5.7 kg)

Payload: 8, Reloads in two attacks using a speed loader
Black Market Cost: The launcher costs 40,000 credits, grenades cost extra
WI-GL403 Under Rifle Grenade Launcher (Kitsune):
Several rifles on Rifts Earth have built in Grenade launchers but other that the ancient pre-rifts M-203 and similar weapons, no grenade launchers have been designed to be mounted underneath the barrel of a rifle. The M-203 only has one shot and is very underpowered. Wellington Industries saw that they weapon could sell quite well so they created the WI-GL403. This is designed to fit on virtually any rifle with the appropriate fittings but in some cases the rifle will need to be modified slightly
Weight: 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg)
Mega Damage: 4D6 for Fragmentation with a blast area of 12 feet (3 m). 1D4x10 for Armor Piercing with a blast area of 3 feet. The launcher can also fire smoke, illumination, and chemical rounds.
