From the archives of the BlackHammer Project comes the new state of the art in projectile weapon systems.
In the early years of Progress Level 6, the first successful personal weapon system using binary propellant technology was developed in a partnership between Dorland Chemicals and SIGarms. The BPR-8 uses a unique 8mm round and a binary propellant injection system in order to fulfill nearly any role where a rifle could be required, from silent operations and varmint hunting, to fire suppression and light antimaterial rifle roles. One of the most versatile weapons in the history of ballistic weapons, the BPR-8 can be used in just about any tactical role, and is easily adjusted in the field as required.
This five-page PDF (plus cover and OGL)describes the technology behind the BPR-8 weapon system as well as the firearms themselves, from the BPR-8 rifle as well as sniper and carbine variants, to the BPR-8MP machine pistol and automatic pistol models. All models are provided with full descriptions and d20 stats.

Blackhammer 1
This is a book that while I have not been waiting for it, I am happy to see it come out. I know the author, M Jason Parent is a big cyber punk fan and this small book defiantly fits into a cyber punk game. It is always nice to see a writer get to write something that they have been wanting to for a long time. I however was never a big fan of the cyber punk or the not so distant future RPGs.
This book is a PDF by EN Publishing. They are one of the leaders in the PDF market and the author M Jason Parent is a talented writer and has shown himself time and time again to have a good grasp on both the mechanics and the details of a game book. The PDF is a small one only being five pages long. Despite that they still have placed book marks in it. The art and layout are good and each weapon is nicely drawn up. There are some gray borders that wile looking great on the screen can eat up a bit of ink for people printing them off.
The book is about some guns. Some nicely described and well detailed guns; but just guns. There are five different ones presented here and they are versatile and seem really good. The book has these set in Progress Level 6 as shown in the d20 Future supplement for d20 Modern. The weapons fire using a chemical propellant system. I am curious if such a weapon exists or how the science behind it is. Either way the detail on how the weapons work is provided and seems to make sense as a near future weapon.
The background information is nice and with luck the company will be expanded and detailed in the future. It would also be cool to see other weapons in and expanded catalogue or cheap knock off versions of these high quality weapons.
In the end though it is a little hard for me to get excited about some new guns. As well as they are detailed and described the book lacks a little something extra. I am not sure what but hopefully in future books we will see a little more.
