A Ruger Thunderbolt is a burst fire only heavy pistol with a distinctive sound and some built in recoil compensation.
With that in mind, is there anything by the rules preventing a weaponsmith from putting a gas vent or sound suppressor on one? I can't find anything that disallows it... but the fact that they have that built in recoil reduction and the distinctive sound make those two accessories, in particular, sound a bit odd to me. |
