Actual news this time.

PS. Wake, how about making a section on this website with info on all the old games?

"While Dredd has his signature Law Giver by his side, the Judge is also armed with other weapons such as the Law Rod (an automatic rifle) and the Judge Pump (a shotgun). Yes, these may sound like names of characters in a law-themed porno entitled Hung Jury, but Rebellion isn't just trying to be funny -- these rather lewdly-named armaments are actually right out of the comic."

Are they? Anyone remember seeing a Judge Pump??? Law Rod???

[Mudcrab]

It's all sounding pretty good though!

[Oddboy]

Law Rod is correct - but very 1970's.  Don't think they called it that after the first few episodes.  Never heard of Judge Pump though.

[The Amstor Computer]

Wasn't the Law Rod in The Apocalypse War? Definitely don't remember Judge Pump though...

[Oddboy]

Stump guns were in the Apocalype War, not sure about Law Rods though....
Possibly, but they definitely phased out the name soon afterwards if they were.

On grounds of silliness?

And wahts this Stun Shot rubbish? Thats what I want to know...

[John Caliber]

The Lawrod was phased out, replaced by the scattergun. The judge pump is another name for the scattergun. Confusing, eh? The M2000 Widowmaker is the most well known judge automatic weapon, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the game.

The best source of judge weaponry - authorised by Rebellion - is the Judge Dredd RPG by Mongoose Publishing.

Stub guns in the Apocalypse War, though I'm sure stump guns have turned up in the past - Judge PUMP!?  Judge Dredd IS gay!

Isn't the Widowmaker the Judges equivalent of a shotgun?

The lawrod was a rifle type thing - not a shotgun IIRC - Judges' pump ...... ih dear!

[malkymac]

I remeber the Law Rod from the 70s; it was lie a rifle shoved down a holster at the side of the bike.

I think the Judge Pump was an invention for the movie. Although the idea of having a shotgun compared to your multipurpose Lawgiver seems a bit laughable.

BTW JD had another gun in the Judge Child saga that was like a sniper rifle. He had to assemble it and used it to shoot one of the Angels who was about 5 miles away.

The Colt Widowmaker SNG Shotgun (Colt M2000) replaced the outdated Lawrod. First appeared in Prog 790.

That would be the LONG GUN named so because it was, well a long gun.
