JAR-76 Hand Cannon

An ultra high-caliber, double-action auto-revolver engineered by Jameson Industries Arms Division. The JAR-76 is large and blocky, with an enormous trigger guard and a revolving cylinder in the center that holds 5 of the proprietary .470 Jameson rounds. Unlike most advanced firearms, the JAR-76 is not intended for defeating modern armor, although it is capable of doing so in many circumstances. In fact, its main purpose is for use as a primary weapon by extrasolar expeditions and planetary explorers for self-defense against native life and dangerous spacefaring organisms such as the Ygsoth and Gundr. The JAR-76's distinctive appearance, large cartridge and iconic firing sound led to it achieving widespread popularity in the media, as well as among gun enthusiasts and criminals. It has been called "the Desert Eagle of the 24th Century."
