Your knowledge invalidates this, so change that bit.   Animal hide shouldn't be working as well as kevlar. We use the "shock" rules for any human or animal foe - but not for mythos entities. {Damage in 1 wound > 1/2 HP then roll CONx5 to stay conscious} However, as written it does say when investigators take damageI ran MoN and it ended up with some relatively well-equipped characters supported by colonial troopers with 0.303 rifles. Overall, my feeling about the investigators up-gunning is that if the PCs start an arms race then the cultists will respond.  This includes cultists throwing sticks of dynamite, bombing hotel rooms and drive-by shootings with tommy guns.  It's worth remembering that if you end up with heavily armed investigators - possibly with armed NPC support - then as soon as the monsters are in sight for targeting then that's when I'd have them roll for san loss. That will take some out.  Even though I can't see how to generate the result in RAW - we've  always played (or assumed) that a temporarily insane PC/NPC  might start blazing away at fellow investigators. Overall recommendation - ask at YSDC?</blockquote>
