Personally, I've always been a fan of the flintlock pistol in bible combo.

Gun in the book is easy - cut a hole in the pages that is the right shape to hide the gun.

Ok, the fact that we're talking about textbooks on this thread is suddenly believable again...

The benefit is when I gun some gang punk down, he stays down. I feel that sends a stronger message. :) |

Depends on whether or not you want to send that message ;) A bonus to using gel rounds, if nothing else, is that you don't leave a slug with your gun's ballistic fingerprints all over it in someone's steaming corpse. When you use that gun on a run, all of a sudden they've got a pattern along with locations you've been...

Since there are no canon rules for Forensics or Ballistics, I have no fear of leaving that slug around. ;) Really, now. That's absurd. If my character is faced w/ being shot by some slot in the Barrens or leaving evidence, its a no brainer. Additionaly, unless you used caseless Gel rounds, there would marking on the casing. And who says gel rounds don't have "ballistic fingerprints"? |

Who's going to bother to look at a gel round, though?
Besides, I'm not talking about the Barrens, I'm talking "around town". In the barrens you pack ex-ex or APDS if you have it. Friggin' troll gangers don't feel much else. |

If you want to send a really weird message, kill the guy with gel rounds. That'll show 'em. Besides, if you're that worried about ballistics, just carry different guns on runs than you do for day to day stuff.

Heh, true, true. That's just humiliating.
There are a lot of questions that have to go into the choice. How good are you? A street sam with wired reflexes and a likely TN < 4 probably doesn't need real ammo to get the point across (that D stun is a pretty good message). If you're suffering from twitch factor, it's a good idea to make sure you don't kill anyone by accident when you act without thinking, too. If you're only a descent shot, you probably do want to go with the real ammo. Or get a taser. If you're looking at street crime, you'll be well within 15m of your assailant usually. 10S stun + shock effects should be more than enough for you to get away or finish the job, as your choice may be. |

Sorry guys, I know this is a little off topic (and I'll post it to the Shadowrun Comedy thread too) but since we were talking about guns (and concealability?) then take a look at this link a chummer sent to me:
http://www.hoardmag.com/riello/Riello_1.htm Now THESE are what the aforementioned lady assassins should utilise!!!! |

For my current gun-toting character, the self-styled Cowboy wannabe, bipolar hick mercenary, his typical loadout consists of:
Sprawl life (low-security, high-threat area) 2 Ruger Super Warhawks (for that "cowboy" look") Ares Predator, with spare clip, in SOB (small of back) holster 1 Defensive grenade Dikoted Bowie knife (in cowboy boot) Lined coat (brown "cowboy duster" style), FFBA full suit, jeans, cowboy boots, toothpick, cowboy hat, five o'clock shadow and a sneer. Johnson meets/social situations: Dallas Line for Men suit. FFBA suit underneath. Remington Roomsweeper in concealable holster OR Cezka vZ/120 in concealable holster depending on what he assesses the threat potential could be. No extra ammo. Work/Field loadout varies depending on job. |
