Nomad Long Rifle (2020)

This article is about the Weapon in Cyberpunk 2020. For the Weapon in Cyberpunk RED, see Nomad "Long Rifle".

Nomad 15mm "Long Rifle" is sniper rifle. Although the adoption of the 15mm BMG round (to replace the antique .50 cal) in the mid-1980s was never fully implemented (except in Europe), there were a number of weapons developed to jump on the 15mm bandwagon. The Collapse brought down most of these developers. A few years later, the Aldecaldos came across an old factory while salvaging back east. Hundreds of examples of 15mm BMG weapons had been tested or designed there, and all the tools and equipment were present to manufacture them- so the Aldecaldos did. Now most nomads use the 15mm BMG for anti-vehicle and sniping work.

The media have taken to calling them Nomad Long Rifles, or even Kentucky Rifles. These weapons are huge and heavy, but when emplaced on a hill, they allow combat at a distance-something Nomads prefer. The most common version includes a scope mount with a 10x optical scope and lowlight, muzzle brake, flash hider, solenoid trigger, bipod, and custom furniture, and can be disassembled into three component parts (stock, action, barrel). All these options are included in the price listed above. You must possess a BOD of 9+ to fire this weapon from a standing position.
