- "Like the 4047, the 203 can be thrown off a three–story roof and still function just fine. Norcomm builds them to last."
- ―Endorsement of the QSZ–203 semi–automatic pistol (from Alien: The Roleplaying Game — Colonial Marines Operations Manual)
The Norcomm QSZ–203 Semi–Automatic Pistol was a Chinese–made semi–automatic pistol used by the Chinese/Asian Nations Cooperative and, later, the Union of Progressive Peoples.
Overview[]
Manufactured by Norcomm, the Chinese–made QSZ–203 was a reliable and sturdy semi–automatic pistol with armor–piercing abilities and medium effective range. As with another Norcomm product, the AK-4047 Pulse Assault Rifle, the QSZ–203 could take a serious beating and still function. As of 2184, the QSZ–203 was worth 400 United American dollars.[1]
Notable users[]
Initially built for the Chinese/Asian-Nation Cooperative, the QSZ–203 saw popularity with the Union of Progressive Peoples after it absorbed the CANC in 2164, and it was quickly adopted as the standard sidearm of all UPP military branches. The QSZ–203 was seldom seen outside the UPP, however, and was difficult to procure even on the black market.[1] Captain Augustus Trent of the Royal Marines Commandos warship HMS God's Hammer carried a QSZ–203 during his service in the employ of the New Albion Protectorate.
