Nokota Manufacturing, also known as Nokota Defense Inc. (NDI),[1] is a weapons manufacturer in the Cyberpunk universe.
Overview[]
Nokota managed to earn its reputation as a weapons manufacturer by producing inexpensive weaponry that was still dependable and powerful.[2] Among these, the most successful was the Copperhead, a mass-produced basic and reliable assault rifle that was able to replace the niche that the old Kalashnikov had left behind.[3]
Nokota's engineers were also able to create their own Smart-class rifle, the Sidewinder, though it was clear the weapon would not manage to compete against the megacorporations that controlled the smart weaponry market.[3] At some point, however, Nokota put their resources on creating a weapon that would give them more notoriety and trust. The end result was the Osprey, a relatively expensive and heavy sniper rifle that soon became the company's signature weapon and a popular choice among military agencies.[4]
