[QUOTE="Achan hiArusa, post: 5553123, member: 2597"] That is because guns aren't current. I'm sure if we were playing D&D in the middle ages or swords were a mass production item today people would be discussing various types of sword manufacturers and the advantages of each. I am around a group of Arthurian reenactors and they spend a lot of time discussing the merits of one type of sword vs. another (just look at longsword vs. katana arguments, or watch anime when they talk about certain craftsmen). They even have specific manufacturers you can and can't buy from and they sometimes make their own swords. As for technological advancement I use the GURPS rules. I find every silly little thing that had to be done to lead up to the development of guns and require 20 Knowledge and 20 Craft successes to do that development. If the character does it then he gets that one change (which could just be a lathe that can turn a bronze piece small enough to be chambered) and at a certain point they will have to spend one or more feats on a "Improved Progress Level" feat. That will turn them off. [/QUOTE]
