Lands and Grooves

Lands and Grooves (L&G) is a subsidiary of Consolidated Head-Melters, a subsidiary of Industrial Face Anhilators, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Gudersnipe Foundation. L&G are primarily responsible for research and development, though they do directly manufacture the Lance used by the Crimson Blade, as well as the lance barrels, which see use in a wide variety of small arms. Lance barrels, and other gun barrels based on the same technology, are famous for their one-million-round lifespan, which will often outlive any other part of the gun.

Factories

Lance barrels and completed Lances are produced all over the Foundation, but are tightly controlled as the fabrication technology is top-secret. Many Lance components are produced at contract manufacturers owned by other Gudersnipe subsidiaries, with some even being produced in privately-owned factories.
