Since these are on the T20 CD they should be legit to post. If not, please have the Moderators feel free to remove them.

The back of the navy model looks like it has a plate for attaching a stock Mauser style.

I can imagine a navy or airforce (or any military not expecting ground combat) buying a bunch of sidearms and then carbinising them in the few times they might need longarms as a cost saving measure.

Ofc a long pistol/short carbine hybrid would probably be suboptimal at either.

Depends on the edition rules - if it's an additional ten percent in range, I think I can afford to forego that.

Glad someone mentioned Imperial Germany's "Navy Luger"; it seems to be the inspiration behind the Navy Gauss Pistol.
The IGN issued these in proportionately higher numbers to small ships; those vessels most likely to perform landing, colonial, and boarding operations.
