Getting bogged down in the realism of firearms is just going to bog your game down (although certainly people who really dig guns -and there are lots of them that play rpgs- will dig it). My CoC players are always scared poopless no matter how well armed they are because I stack the deck against them and because if one of those monsters does get near enough to them to whack them, they are most likely toast. I keep them in the dark. Their flashlights fall into water and short out or their candles get blown out by a breeze. The lights in the old mansion won't come on; better head down to the basement to check the fuse box. Yeah, good luck with that! Horrible creatures jump out at them from hiding. I force them into claustrophobic spaces. And if they easily blow away a couple of monsters, there are always more monsters right around the bend. Plus, I've got no problem with tweaking a creatures armor so that it's tougher. Just my two cents. Good luck with your game!</blockquote>
