Here is a link to an old article about a pontoon boat design that was intended as a "cheap yacht". http://blog.modernmechanix.com/2009/04/14/poor-mans-yacht/ A...
... Yep. But people look at all that empty space protected from the weather and think "I could put something more useful than glass balls in there". Unless you...
... Yep. The holes in the Bahamas are probably the most impressive. The cave sinkholes people have skydived into are pretty damn WTF as well. And tangentially,...

I'm running an ex-merc character in a conspiracy/horror campaign, and was looking for an unusual sidearm. Nothing huge or powerful, just something useful,...

Gents, The "More Guns!" supplement for 3G3 from BTRC has stats for both the Calico M110 (.22LR) and the Calico M-950 (9mm). A note: I own a Calico and it is...
I knew I'd seen the stats somewhere. That is a good point about the Cailico. It is rather large for a pistol. But I just love the concept and the technology...
Perfect. Not being that knowledgeable about guns, the listings in 'More Guns' tend to blur together for me. I didn't see the FN 57, though. Still, for when...
In terms of more conventional weapons, I've heard good things about the .357 SIG caliber. Apparently designed to have about the same performance as a .357...
The 357Sig cartridge is a necked-down 10mm Auto casing just like the .40 S&W is a shortened 10mm Auto casing. The performance of a hot 357Sig will just barely...
Thanks for all the help. I'm collecting pictures of the various weapons I outfit my characters with. In the process, I came across the H&K MR 762. Since my...
It's a pretty standard 7.62NATO/.308 Winchester battle rifle with picatinny fore-ends and top rail. I would just use FN-FAL or G3 stats for it with tweaks for...
I'd recommend against the Grendel. While it is a neat idea - 30 rounds of .22 Magnum - the reliability of the pistols made by Grendel was mediocre to poor. ...
I decided to go with the Glock 19 .357 SIG. It's small, but carries a good punch, and Glocks are supposed to be pretty reliable. (I saw some interesting...
Then you're referring to the Glock 32, not the Glock 19. The G32 is a .357Sig handgun in a G19-size package. Add $50 or so to the base price of $500-600 and it...
(Looks back at his notes...) Yep. You're right. This stuff isn't really second nature to me, and I sometimes conflate different topics. Glock 32 it is. Tom...
As a further note for real-world edged tools and weapons, I came across an old book that covers sharpening for practical use. It did not cover swords or...
