A cutlass.
A constructible cannon 200 tiles long with multiple chambers that you can use to bombard London.
i do not think that that cannon created by germans can fire sheels from new england to london…
It will hit London. There will be no excuses!
Then we shall shell New London!
A catapult.
Meteor hammer. Like a bullwhip, but hurts a lot more.
Three-section staff. Especially if it can also recombine into a quarterstaff.
Do we have a futuristic alternative for the M72 LAW yet? If not, we probably should. That thing’s getting ancient.
I could certainly be wrong here, but it seems as though propellants and explosives haven’t advanced much, nor have materials and aerodynamic surfaces. I would imagine the the D.D.A. L.A.W. is likely very different from the contemporary L.A.W. but mostly in ways that only really matter if you are shooting something with D.D.A.-level countermeasures…
Having said that, I could easily imagine setting something up at a distance and then aiming it with a tiny target-designator rather than a whole launcher. Or maybe some sort of bizarre future warhead like an armour piercing squash head or something that has half the weight and explosive radius but the same damage and piercing…

That thing’s getting ancient.[/quote]The most “modern” equivalent I can immediately think of is the Mk.153 Mod 0 SMAW, Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon); it is reloadable and can use HE Dual-Purpose, HE Anti-Armor, or Novel Explosive (thermobaric) warheads.
If by ‘futuristic’ you mean the one we’ve been using since 1987, then that would be the M136 AT4 disposable recoilless anti-tank weapon.
I can imagine various “LAW’s” with EMP/plasma/‘insert futuristic explosive device’ warheads.
By futuristic I mean it’s the future. Make some shit up.
Refoldable, reloadable…
This, very much?
Considering that it was supposedlt fully handmade except for the barrel, even the cartridges are made fro modified .50 Cal BMG
By the looks of things, it MAY not be compatible with the nitro express (possibly acceptable to abstract away?) Would significantly out damage and out recoil the nitro express but also be less accurate, as a bullet, given it’s not only handload exclusive but is made on modified .50 cal casings.
The gun itself, if (hopefully) craftable by the player (disassemble an actual nitro express or find machining equipment capable of making a working barrel?) Would reload slowly, and have somewhat poor aim speed, recoil, and dispersion, but would have many mod slots to compensate?
Definitely slow reload of a one shot sort.
Airburst grenades, presumably with a specialized launcher (Like the XM25 or something) they can still undershoot, but are guaranteed to explode once they’ve reached a range equal to whatever you were firing at.

We have a single-shot .700 NX rifle already. I was singularly unimpressed with it and would prefer to just pull the thing entirely. Machining of this spec probably wouldn’t be a happening thing either.
Rail extension stuff.
cannons!
tools of destruction found in some museums or crafted by an enterprising metallurgist.
maybe only limited to smoothbores initially.
Very heavy (you can only drag them around like bookcases), the player can (e)xamine them to load them and (e)xamine them again when loaded to fire. Can target only a 45degree cone in front of it.
Take a lot of gunpowder and a metal ball and convert them into a 10kg projectile moving at 450 m/s (or even use grapeshot that spreads in a 30degree cone and wipes an approaching horde) and a big boom that drags all zeds around to your location.
These could be static defenses for factions or the player, inefficient of course (but cool and very fun to use

I’ve seen a cannon (claimed as an 1812-era naval piece? no idea) fire food-size cans that had been filled with cement. Looked impressive.
Skorpion vz. 61, just to have a .32 ACP submachine gun.
