ULTRAMODERN FIREARMS d2 F REWORD FOREWORD I am not an expert on guns. and that's exactly why, back in 1993. I wrote tfle original version of this book. Over the years, a number of gun books for gamers have come along. and most have found a place on my shelf and a good bit of use in my games. But in every case there have been a number of problems. Most of these books seem to devote a lot of space to interesting but obscure prototypes at the expense of much more common and useful weapons. Every single one 1s poorly organized. requiring a lot of page turning to find agiven entry. Many are burdened with overwhelm­ ing volumes of numbers, meaningless to all but the most accomplished gun enthusiast. And all are under-illustrated. or very poorly illustrated. Even those books that stick 10 photographs (and I am not just referring to game books-this is true even of "mainstream" weapons encyclopedias) are filled with dark, blurry images, often photographs of photographs of photographs. I found that a weapon I couldn't visualize rarely if ever showed up in my games. These are a few of the issues I wanted to address when I started work on Ultramodern Firearms. As the book progressed, however. I began to see other ways I could make it more useful to the typical gamer (myself included!). For instance, as I researched the various weapons. I noticed a number of features-some common, others found only on a rare few weapons-that gamers would probably like to know about. In a conventionally-organized book. the only way to get an ryyerv1ew of these features is to read and remember every entry. I know I don't want to read the descriptions of seventy different weapons just to outfit a character with the ideal sidearm. So I came up with the Features Index, a fairly comprehensive listing of the features found on every weapon covered m the book. I hated the way most gun books were so densely packed with text and numbers that everything seemed buried. so I gave the book an open, easy to digest layout. Most gun books list guns organized by country of manufacture (a system carried over from real -world gun references). but I found that listing them alphabetically made look-ups much easier. The original Ultramodern Firearmswas a supplement for the Millennium's Endgame system (no longer in print). Millennium's End had a pretty limited rnculation (especially compared to the d20 system), but Ultramodern Firearms was a breakout product, sell mg thousands more copies than any other supplement and perhaps even more than the core game book. Over the years. many people have told me how useful they've found the book. and even other game designers-developers for many well-known roleplaying game systems-have told me about the essential role Ultramodern Rrearms has filled in their reference library. As a designer at Wizards of the Coast working on the d20 Modem Rolep/aying Game, I quickly discovered that several ofthe other members of the design team had copies on their shelves-and they were using them. Aparently I wasn't the only one to find this approach to a gaming gun book useful! Updating the book and retooling it for the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game seemed like a no­ bra1ner.

As the officers arrived at scene, the Subject pointed a handgun at the officers and fired several times in their direction, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS). The Subject then proned himself behind the open driver’s side door of the vehicle parked in his driveway. Approximately five minutes later, the Subject pointed the handgun at the officers, resulting in a second OIS. Subject(s) Deceased (X) Wounded () Non-Hit () Subject: Male, 47 years of age.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)

    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.
