  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

  • A 3D Tour Handgun History Dan Lovy
    A 3D Tour Handgun History Dan Lovy I have a new toy, a 3D printer. I am amazed at the level of quality compared to its price. I'm printing out robots, cartoon characters and as many Star Trek ship models as I can find. The darn thing is running almost 24/7 and all my shelving is filling up with little plastic objects. First let me state that I am not a gun enthusiast. I own no fire arms and have been to a firing range once in my life. I believe that we have too many and they are too accessible, especially in the U.S. That having been said, I also have a fascination with the technological change that occurred during the industrial revolution. In some ways we are still advancing the technology that was developed in the late 19th and early 20th century. Fire arms, especially handguns, offer a unique window into all this. Advancement did not happen through increased complexity. A modern Glock is not much more complex than a Colt 1911. The number of parts in a pistol has been in the same range for nearly 200 years. Cars on the other hand gained complexity and added system after system. Advancement did not happen through orders of magnitude in performance. A 747 is vastly more capable than the Wright Flyer. One of the basic measures of a pistol is how fast can it shoot a bullet, that parameter has not really changed much, certainly not as much as the top speed of a car.

Initiated under the Spanish rule, it deepened after independence in 1816. It sought to incorporate extensive tracts of land in the region known as the Pampas, vast treeless plains with a temperate climate. These lands were favorable for cattle raising and agriculture and thus indispensable for an economy oriented toward the export of primary commodities. This expansion, however, was an uneven process, heavily dependent on the political and economic consolidation of the Argentine society, and especially on the building of a modern nation-state, which only began after 1861.

John Wayne stands tall with his “Colt 45,” and Clint Eastwood faces off with his “S&W 44 Magnum.”1 There’s only a hundredth of an inch separating the two calibers, and a generation of contention as to which i s t h e fi n e r r o u n d o r r e v o l v e r .

So what happens in the brain when it hears something so reduced in size and economical in its symbolism as two numbers, juxtaposed either forwards or backwards?

  • Maryland-North Caroline
    Maryland 883 The greater part of these arms were issued to Volunteer Militia companies outside of Baltimore,usingthewarehouseofwoolford&Pattersoninthatcityasadistributionpoint.On 19 April 1861 this warehouse was broken into by a pro-Southern Baltimore mob and everything there taken-some 370 infantry muskets and a small number of cavalry arms and accouterments.TheseweaponswereusedtodispersetheWashingtonBrigadeofPhiladelphia when that unamed and hapless command tried to march through Baltimore. Some of the weapons in the hands of the Baltimore Volunteer companies found their way into Virginia, and most of the remainder were seized on the govemor's orders in June. This forestalled any large shipments of small amis to Marylanders in the Confederate army and providedasmallstockforthenewregimentsbeingraised.Thereafterthestateappearstohave played no part in procuring arms for its volunteer and home guard commands save through U.S. Amy sources. It ended the war with little or no stock of serviceable shoulder arms. During the reorganization of 1867 the state was obliged to purchase ams for its new MarylandNationalGuardinadditiontothefieldartillerymaterialitobtainedfromthegeneral government.
