gewing Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games New Season of Suns of Gun's fired up last night. I'm adding the Saiga 12 ga. Pistol to my Xmas list. ~Rex Saiga 12 ga pistol? Hmm... Probably an "any other weapo0n" $200 tax stamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaeto Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Are they radioactive? Lucky sob! Nope they were police confiscations in drug raids. A couple of days later I got a Remington Model 11 shotgun for $399.00. The Model 11 was a license built copy of the Browning Auto 5. The last Model 11 was built in 1947, but mine is older.

Kaeto Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I dunno and I'd rather not try. I do plan on getting a mold for the period correct Colt Conical bullets to make up into paper cartridges. For the .36s that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Hey, gunbunnies! I couldn't find a fitting Star Hero thread for this musing: I'm pondering a weapon technology for my I-hope-one-day-I'll-get-to-play campaign. Coilguns that fire darts of memory metal (say, 2.5mm or 1/10"), that mushrooms out on impact. An ultra-tech hollow-point, basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the expense, I've never seen MM or Memory Plastics that act fast enough. Instead use a soft lead dart with external hard steel striations that peel off on impact. The striations give the magnetic field something to grip, and they'll tumble like razors through the target while the soft lead balloons and cavitates.

And this is supposed to take place two-three hundred years ahead. I imagine this to be cutting-edge mil spec weaponry. Civilians still use combustion weaponry, for hunting purposes.

However, using a hard, high penetration dart with an explosive core (fused to detonate post-armour penetration, or to detonate if it DOESN'T penetrate (to destroy the armour for following rounds) would have a similar effect. On the other hand, using both as competing technologies might be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern Engineers are working on "reactive materials" to form the pre-formed fragments in weapons from. Nothing like a penetrator that explodes inside...

I am aware that the brass framed navies are reproductions of the Griswold and Gunnison confederate copy of the Colt .36 Navy. I have three of the brassies now. I wasn't suggesting you didn't know that. I was just pointing it out for the benefit of those who didn't know. On the few gun sites I visit, I have seen brass-framed reproductions declaimed as "bogus reproductions" or even "counterfeit" because they had brass bits, and "everybody knows Colt didn't use brass".
