My List of Confederate Firearms during both of the Great Wars.
Pistols
Webley Service Pistol Mk VI - .455 Webley. Standard service revolver from 1908 to 1944 with the Confederate Military, Freedom Party, and Police.
Aston Automatic Service Pistol Mk I - .455 Automatic (similar to the FN Model 1910). A limited production and use automatic pistol developed before the GW1, but only used by the Confederate Air Service and Navy. Retired from Confederate Military service by 1930.
Ferguson Model A - 9x22mm (similar to the Star Model A). An unlicensed copy of the Colt M1911 produced from 1921 to 1931 by the Ferguson Arms Company, Featherston famously owned a chrome plated example, which is currently in a private collection. Also used by the Confederate Military, Police, and Freedom Party as well as the Mexican and Nicaraguan Armies.
Ferguson Model B - 9x22mm (similar to the Star Model B). An improved version of the Model A produced from 1930 to 1944, sold to the civilian market as well to the Confederate Military, Police, Prison System, and Freedom Party. Also sold to Mexico, Portugal, South Africa, Venezuela, and Paraguay.
Ferguson Model C - 9x22mm (similar to the Star Model BM). A scaled down variant of the Model B developed specifically for the Confederate Secret Police and Freedom Party Guards. Jacob Featherston also owned a chrome plated Model C pistol and was taken off of body by one of the Black Militiamen and has vanished ever since (though many people over the years claimed to have Featherston's Pistol, but have turned to be fakes.)
Onslow Pistol - 9x22mm. A last ditch pistol for the National Assault Force, unknown number produced, est 10,000 produced.
Rifles
Tredegar Automatic Rifle M1938 - 7.7x56mm. In 1935 as part of his re-armament plans, President Jacob Featherston would order the development of a new self-loading rifle. The design team at the Tredegar Arms Factory was already developing a self-loading battle rifle in the years before Featherston's rise to power, but the President would give the project a high priority. In 1938, the new Tredegar Automatic Rifle would enter service and Featherston would demand the rifle be built by other companies. The rifle would be the main rifle in which the Confederate Army during Operation Blackbeard would wield. As the war progressed, the demands of the 2nd Great War would force the rifle to be simplified by war's end, things such as the folding bayonet and the cleaning rod would both be absent on rifles produced in 1944, which total production would be 2,876,000 rifles. An estimated 400 rifles would be built as select fire weapons, but would the automatic mode would prove to be unreliable.
Lee-Tredegar M1916 Police Rifle - 7.7x56mm (similar to the Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk V). In the years following the GW1, the Confederate Army wanted to modernize, but in a way that it would raise the suspicion of the Union Government. The new iteration of the Lee-Tredegar Rifle was deceptively named the M1916 Police Rifle in order to conceal the true intention of the rifle, which entered production in 1922 at the Tredegar Arms Factory. About 40,000 of the M1916 Rifles would be sold to the Monarchist Faction during the Mexican Civil War and these alongside the M1907 rifles would remain in Mexican Military service until the early 1960s. The M1916 Police Rifle production would cease in 1937 with 600,000 rifles in total being produced. During the war, 5,000 would be converted in the M1916M Sniper variant.
Lee-Tredegar M1907 - 7.7x56mm (similar to the SMLE rifle). The Confederate Army would adopt both the new M1907 rifle and cartridge, which the cartridge was essentially a rimless version of the earlier Confederate service cartridge. The rifle would be produced from a period of 1908 to 1917 and was produced by the Tredegar Arms Company alongside with wartime contractors such as the United Steel Locomotive Factory, Atlanta Cannon Foundry, Griswold Arms Company, along with a plethora of sub-contractors. A total of 3.4 million of the M1907 rifles would be produced, with a million of the rifles being handed over to the Union as War Reparations with another large portion being scrapped along with a substantial number of the rifles being sold to the Monarchist Faction of the Mexican Civil War. In the early 1930s, the guns that remained in Confederate Military Inventory were upgraded to the M1907/30 standard, with many worn guns having their stocks and barrels replaced. At the outbreak of war, units that were not needed for Operation Blackbeard were equipped with the rifle along with about a 1,000 of the rifles being supplied to the Mormon Rebels in Deseret. As the war went on, more and more Confederate Frontline soldiers were equipped with the rifle due to the production of the M1938 rifle not meeting the wartime demands. During the war, approximately 9,000 of the M1907/30 rifles would be modified in snipers under the designation of the M1907/30M.
Lee-Tredegar M1895 - 7.7x56mmR (similar to the Long Lee-Enfield). A locally produced Confederate copy of the British No. 1 Mk 1, the M1895 rifle was produced by the Tredegar Arms Factory from 1895 to 1906 and served the Confederate Military throughout the First Great War, which many were converted to the Rimless 7.7x56mm M1907 cartridge in early stages of the war. The rifles by the early 1930s would mostly end up in storage or ones converted into carbines with Confederate Police and Border Police forces. During the later stages of the GW2, the rifles would be used by the National Assault Force as they were in the need for guns. Est, 1,004,000 rifles manufactured.
Lee-Tredegar M1889 - 7.7x56mmR (similar to the Lee-Metford). A locally produced Confederate copy of the British Lee-Metford Rifle, the Lee-Tredegar was the Confederacy's first smokeless powder rifle to enter service. They would be the mainstay of the Confederate Army until the adoption of the M1895 and M1907 rifles, which saw them being re-delegated to use with 2nd Line and the Negro Units during the GW1. After the war, many of them would be given to the Union as war reparations while others were either scrapped or put into storage. 569,000 rifles produced in total.

VZ-37 - 9x22mm. A Mexican built SMG, 390,000 imported between 1940 and 1944.
Ferguson Model G-55 - 9x22mm (think of a Lanchester with a bi-pod and a longer barrel and shroud). Limited production SMG from the early 1930s, 65,000 made from 1930 to 1934. Used by the Confederate Police and the Freedom Party Guards.
Windsor Submachine Gun - 9x22mm (similar to the
EMP-44). Undetermined number manufactured, est 25,000 produced. Last ditch weapon. A blurry photograph of the weapon only exists.

Heavy Machine-Guns and Autocannons
Vickers Machine Gun - 7.7x56mm. Standard HMG of the Confederate Military during both Great Wars, 49,000 guns in total were used by the Confederacy.
Ferguson M1937 - 13.1x102mm. A Confederate designed heavy machine-gun originally designed for anti-aircraft and anti-vehicle use, mainly used on vehicles, tri-pod mounts, ships, and a modified variant, the A1, was even mounted on aircraft. 25,000 guns manufactured in total.
Hispano-Suiza M1935 - 20x110mm. A Confederate made variant of the Spanish designed Hispano-Suiza HS.404 automatic cannon, which the Confederates would make variants of it such as for vehicle and aircraft use as well as a wheel mount for use with Light Infantry units. The weapon was referred to by Union soldiers as the "Stinger", due to the potency of the cartridge that the weapon fired.
Tredegar M1916 - 7.7x56mm. Standard aircraft mounted machine-gun for Confederate Aircraft in the early part of the GW2 before being dismounted due to the 7.7mm round increasingly being more ineffective in the AA role. Many would be converted to ground use and modified as the M1916/42 variant.
Anti-Vehicle Weapons
Tredegar M1937 Anti-Barrel Rifle - 13.1x102mm. In 1937, the Tredegar Arms Company would introduce into service an anti-barrel rifle which fired the 13.1mm Ferguson Cartridge. By the time of the 2nd Great War in 1941 and further into the war, the weapon was found increasingly useless against armored vehicles, and so from 1942 onwards, was used as an anti-material rifle. 11,000 rifles manufactured.
Solothurn S-18/100 Anti-Barrel Rifle - 20x105mmB. In 1940, the Confederate Army would purchase 150 of the famed Solothurn rifles from Switzerland for field trials, and during the GW2, these rifles saw heavy action.
Barrel Buster Mk. I - A cheap and effective anti-barrel weapon, an estimated 95,000 manufactured.
Barrel Buster Mk. II - An improvement of the Mk. I, however came too little too late.
