Holiday and Trigg's Antique Weapons

Holiday and Trigg's Antique Weapons first appear in Morning Star as a cache of gas-powered slug throwers—ambi-rifles, carbines, pistols, and gas rifles—whose EMP-proof, electronics-free design makes them invaluable when the Sons of Ares stage their assault on the Jackal’s stronghold. Their archaic recoil-heavy nature contrasts sharply with the pulseWeapons and razor technology that dominate the series, yet their reliability under electronic warfare conditions turns them into decisive tools for the Rising. Across the trilogy, the weapons evolve from a desperate improvisation into a symbol of low-tech resilience that undercuts the Society’s high-tech superiority.
