Smith & Wesson

Smith & Wesson (S&W) is a manufacturer of firearms having its beginnings  in the United States of Pre Astro Earth. The corporate headquarters used to be  in Springfield, Massachusetts. Founded in 1852, Smith & Wesson's pistols and revolvers used to be standard issue to police and armed forces throughout the world, in addition to their popularity among sport shooters.

Apart from firearms, Smith & Wesson has been known for the many types of ammunition it has introduced over the years, and many cartridges bear the company's name.

Unlike many other Pre Asro arms and weapon manufacturers S&W  remained completley independent and is not part of United Earth Arms. They also never really went into the beam weapon line and kept developing "slug throwers".

However their current line of slug throwers are the finest projectile weapons of any known civilization.

Famous people using their weapons include Admiral Richard Stahl, Peter Baker and Xon the Gray Nul (and every Nul since 5040) Also every officer of the 38th fleet.
