ok in games, do you just use the names of guns form the books or do you get inventive, differnet names for the same stats, like they do for cars in Rigger 3?
An example in RL would be Beretta firearms. This is a well known fire arm maker. In gun shops very similar is the Taurus. They look similar because Taurus was made under contract for a while in Brazil. but due to their poorer quality metalurgy they tend to be bigger, a little heavier, a lot more bulky and a little lower cost, but essentially the same gun. |
