S&S Munitions



S&S Munitions is a weapons manufacturer in Borderlands. Their weapons tend to have increased magazine sizes though high reload times, and basic elemental effects are somewhat common on S&S weaponry. S&S utilizes a black and yellow finish on their guns to distinguish them from the competition.

This manufacturer may be a post-market distributor of weapons, buying basic weaponry and gear at or beneath wholesale, modifying it, and then reselling it to the open market at a profit. This is supported by quality-related flavoring titles like "S&S Upgraded" for green items and weapons, and "S&S Revised" for blue.

Quotes

 * "If you find your gun just doesn't hold enough bullets, then S&S has the solution: more bullets! All S&S guns have extended magazines!" - Marcus' Gun Vending Machine


 * "The S&S philosophy is: Tech + Ammo Capacity = I win!" - Marcus' Gun Vending Machine


 * "Reload: (verb) Something you do after your target is dead" - S&S Munition posters seen in Krom's Canyon


 * "Having the largest clip sizes around is just one example of how S&S munitions merge smart design and high technology." - S&S Munition posters seen in Krom's Canyon

Trivia

 * S&S Munitions follows a naming scheme based heavily on celestial objects and constellations. For example, the S&S Orion (Orion 'The Hunter' being a well-known star constellation).
 * It is not clear what exactly the two 'S' may stand for, though this may be a play on the real world gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson (marketed as S&W). It could possibly mean the two brothers referenced in the sales pitch from the Official Borderlands Guide.
