[QUOTE="Mighty Halfling, post: 3520715, member: 13134"] I have this one 3e third-party weapon book that tackles a wide variety of real-life oddball weapons. The book in itself is pretty good. But what I hate about it are the weapon illustrations don't provide you with a scale. That makes it really hard to figure out what they look like. Additionally, the weapons are so strange that a line drawing just doesn't help me "see" the weapon in use. I can't tell how they're supposed to be held or used, so it's very frustrating. The coolest book I ever found on weapons was The Diagram Group's[B] "Weapons: An International Encyclopedia from 5000 BC to 2000 AD". (ISBN 0-312-03950-6, softcover $22.95)[/B] It's a big thick book that illustrates a good percentage of all the real-life weapons used from way back when to just about now. It's very helpful in that it gives great, scaled drawing with infoboxes on many of the weapons talking about their origins and uses. Check it out! I found it in Borders. If it were wholly converted into a statted gaming supplement, I bet it would sell really well! [/QUOTE]
