[QUOTE="Mistah_Richard, post: 388636, member: 7304"] Ok, this post tackles two individual questions. Not too sure what you are looking for here. Simply making the weapons more powerful or more "realistic" doesn't solve the problem. I think Mr. Ryan tackles these issues pretty well here: [URL=http://boards.wizards.com/community-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=291;t=000173]Charles Ryan on Firearms Combat and Damage[/URL] Again, this is a core mechanic issue, not a gun stat issue. When we originally decided to do this book back in November of 2001, we had no idea that Ultra Modern Firearms was republishing. UMF has a nice dedicated fan base and at the time of its release was top notch. If they follow a similar format for this new edition, you should expect nothing but a high quality product. Green Ronin does great stuff and the art work is fantastic. With that said, as mentioned earlier in this thread, Small Arms of the World lists over a THOUSAND weapons and has detailed descriptions and images for around 800 (Example: There are only really three major designs to a Glock, thus you will only see three images, however, you will have stats for over a dozen Glock variants). Keep in mind, this book doesn't cover any weapons prior to 1950 AND doesn't cover heavy weapons other than Anti-Material rifles and Machine guns. There will be some extremely ground breaking releases that RPGs to date has or will be releasing. The book will contain more single illustrations that any book to date and I believe that it will be worth every penny. Ultimately the question you need to ask is what you need. If you want a massive amount of guns, our book is it. If you need some stats and don't care about every gun in the world, either book will do quite fine. I would buy both (I own a copy of UMF and will buy a new copy when it is released). Cheers! [/QUOTE]
