→ Engraved coach gun. 12-gauge, double-barrelled, side-by-side. Never kept on Marco's person. Kept cocked and loaded in a long, flat tray in his desk.

→ Miniature twin-barrel derringer. Adorned and well-kept. Inside a small compartment in Marco's boot that can be slipped out at any given time. His 'holdout' weapon.
→ 2004 Rolls Royce Phantom in black, complete with chauffeur, ice-buckets full of champagne, bulletproof tinted glass, and pistols on the seats. A true mobster car.

...........................................................................

BRIEFING:
→ The coach gun. Atypical Wild West weapon. A 12-gauge double-barrelled shotgun, side-by-side boxlock action. And this is exactly what Albatross is; it fires 12-gauge buckshot and can seriously put the hurting on someone. It's the cannon of his arsenal, and usually used for raids - never regularly kept on Marco's person.

→ The infamous, immortalised Luger P08. Made using a mixture of gold alloys and diamonds embedded in the grip, the pistol fires .32 ACP rounds in an eight-bullet magazine. It's Marco's party piece and has supposedly seen the blood of over fifty people.

→ A .38 Special Model 15, Falcon, adorned with images of feathers along a rustic grip. Falcon's not always on Marco's person, but when it is, he means business. It's a core part of his collection and, whilst hefty, versatile and good for the old pistol-whipping. Six-shot.

→ Vulture and Eagle are twin 9x19mm Parabellum Walther PPK pistols - the pistols of James Bond, old Cretan spy hero. If Marco uses these two engraved gold beauties, they're kept at his waist with seven-round magazines loaded.

→ Crow is a Colt 1903 model, dubbed the 'Pocket Hammerless'. Curious in design, this gun's also gold and engraved - as per Marco's requirements for using a gun - and one of the lesser used of his arsenal. Crow also uses .32 ACP rounds.

→ Blackbird is something of a modern addition to Marco's arsenal; a 9x18mm Makarov Drachman special services pistol, firing from an eight round magazine and kept at Marco's ankle constantly due to its compact size.

→ Osprey is a derringer pistol. Two-shot, and despite its disposable nature, Marco's taken a shine to it. The thing sits in a small, hollowed-out compartment in his boot, and can be removed whenever he sees fit. It fires small ball-bearing rounds, and whilst not exactly the most accurate gun ever, it certainly does the job.

→ Named affectionately after Marco's beautiful wife (and she does ride in it), Connie is a Rolls Royce Phantom, painted and finished in black, 2003 edition, and impeccably kept. Antonio and Santino are the only two allowed to drive it, and most of the time, it's the former, who doubles as a loyal chauffeur. It's got surround sound speakers, champagne ice buckets, tinted bulletproof windows and windscreens, and just about everything a Don could wish for. The car itself contains a few weapons in the trunk; a 6.75L monster of a 12-cylinder engine powers this awesome beast of a car, and it can mow down Thompson-clutching mobsters without a second thought.

As a further expansion on the car's specs, the bezels containing the 'RR' logo on the wheels stay upright even whilst the car is in motion, and do not move. When the rear-hinged doors open, the car will automatically brake, meaning that it's near-impossible to fall out of whilst moving. These are the same doors which HOUSE UMBRELLAS. Yes, you heard me right, car doors with built-in Teflon umbrellas. This monster of a car weighs three metric tonnes, and has a built-in refrigerator, and sets of Rolls Royce-styled wireless headphones, so that Marco can kick back, crack open a bottle of brandy, and put his feet up as he listens to some good old music. It's custom-made, through the Rolls Royce "Bespoke" program in Creta, and Marco has fitted a seat out to contain all his weaponry when he's on the go. Pressing a button on the side of the doors and then tapping in a PIN will cause the seat to revolve backwards and a suitable case for all of his firearms, save for Osprey and Albatross.

The car's plated not with the usual aluminium, but a painted black carbon-fibre composite material within, ceramic plates to add to the usual sturdiness and make it weak to low-calibre munitions fire. This, of course, adds to the weight, and drops the top speed to around 150mph, with the car itself being able to reach 60mph in a matter of 7 seconds, 2 seconds faster than the usual aluminium-plated counterpart. 453bhp, automatic transmission, and double-wishbone suspension add together to make this not only a beast to behold, but a surprisingly sleek drive.

- Mind clarifying this line above as I quoted? Did you make a typo over "brake" possibly? Anyways, if the car breaks or brakes, then how is it near impossible to fall out of?

[Guest]

It was brake. And, basically, the thing brakes if the doors are open, meaning there's not a lot of chance of you falling out of the car if it's at a total standstill.

{REVISE/INQUIRY}

- Add in more weight for the car given there are bulletproof windows, I'll leave that to your liberty and discretion to decide how to go with it.

- Going on my best guesses, are the windows the only thing bulletproofed? Or is the entire car bulletproofed rather as a whole?

[Guest]

Bulletproof windows will add negligible amounts of weight to what is already described as 2.5 tonne car. That's 2500kg.

The remainder of the car... aye. I'll change it to be a bulletproofed (or just more damage-resistant) painted carbon-fibre composite exterior. Frame of a Phantom's sturdy enough anyway. I'll up the weight to three metric tonnes total.

[Guest]

Colour me timbers, I colour this...
