"Quality is not our moto, it's our product."
Nestled in the middle of the New West in what once was the state of Colorado lies Jasper Munitions. Jasper Munitions didn't survive the coming of the Rifts, no it was given birth by them. During the dark ages a large group of refugees made it to the mountains of Colorado. For the most part they were lucky, and far away from any rift activity. And so the town of Jasper was born. Unable to reproduce the materials to build M.D.C. structures they made do with wood, and stone. And unable to make mega-damage weapons they made do with primitive firearms and bows. As time passed they were able to reclaim some lost technology and slowly they began to prosper. With this prosperity grew the knowledge and the capacity to make better and better weapons, still predominately S.D.C. firearms. By the time the dark ages were over Jasper was already trading with several of the smaller kingdoms, and communities they became known for making cheap, dependable firearms. Jasper Munitions currently has four branches other then the town of Jasper itself. With widespread sales to various clients Jasper Munitions has now gone as far as releasing Giant Sized versions of its newest guns for the various D-Bee races that could not use them otherwise. This has not gone over well with the Coalition, but with so many greater problems to worry about they have overlooked Jasper Munitions thus far.
So let's cut to the end products then shall we? Jasper
Munitions specializes in hunting rifles, and weapons for self-defense purposes,
much like a gun manufacturer of today's world. Although they recognize
the need for protection from mega-damage threats these days Jasper Munitions
has been slow to change to more modern types. Instead they have been striving
to make their weapons accessible to all races, human or alien. If you need
a hunting rifle Jasper Munitions wants you to need one of their hunting
rifles.
