Gun Rules Shootout

[MythandLore]

I just looked on the California site of legal handguns and they list all the different models of the Desert Eagle. If they're legal in California, they're legal anywhere.

Yep.
But it does have some restrictions.

The only thing that would make it illegal is a high capacity magazine (over 10 rounds) and or a silencer or other such modification.

Add: Which is illiegal to do with any gun in California (not just the Desert Eagle).

Anyone know what the legal restrictions on the .50 Desert Eagle are? Trying to sway a Player from wanting one... I could just say no, but I thought I heard that they were illegal in a bajillion states.... That info would give me a bit more credibility I think.

Why don't you what him to have one?

Just got the Spycraft book today, noticed the range increments (especially on sniper rifles), anyone know how accurate they are?

They are all pretty close, it's good enuff for what it is (I would have pushed the .50 BMG up to 400 though).

Has anyone (besides myself) considered converting BTRC's "Guns Guns Guns" (aka 3G3) system to d20? It is quite possibly the most accurate firearms construction / deconstruction system that exists.

I've never heard of it, if it's good I'd like to see it though (as long as it's not so overly complex that it slows the game down).

BTW if anyone wants to learn more about Desert Eagles I sugjest you check out their webpage.

Myth,
It's not that I don't want him to have it. I just wanted to make sure that there aren't any specific laws around it. Plus I'm trying to understand why a 1st Level Parapsychologist would have a .50 caliber hand cannon...

It's a legal gun, but you could make him justify his character having one.
He's a Parapsychologist aye... If he was to believe in the paranormal I could see him wanting all the fire power he could get or maybe make him a gun nut character and force him to spend skill points on knowledge of pistols or something.
I hope he's not trying to use it concealed.
That is a really really big gun, it weighs about 5 pounds (5 lb.s in one hand is a lot) and it's almost a foot long (with a 10 inch barrel it's longer then a foot).

Dark Quest's Cyber Style: Bang Bang includes the firearms rules for our dark future system. The rules, and a majority of the weapons are modern, not sci-fi'ish. The futuristic part of the rules includes firearms that are known on the production tables today, or planned releases within the next decade.

Yeah, I've since learned that it is, in fact, a legal firearm, so I really have no leg to stand on in denying it. I like the idea of him being a.) a gun nut or b.) a true believer in the supernatural. I think it will have to be gun nut though since he's already made up the PC. My biggest thing was that I was of the impression it was restricted in many states, and if so, the same would hold true in my game.
