Hi all,
Just a question that occurred to me, sorry it isn't more traveller
related, but the discussion of firearms (mainly lasers and such) piqued my
curiosity & reminded me of an old question I wanted to know the answer to
at one point:
What kinds of pistols are there out there commonly available in
our society today that use "non-standard" (for a pistol) caliber? We usually
here about .22, 9mm, .38, .45, and similar rounds, and of course there are
the fabled .44 and .357 rounds, favorites of filmmakers everywhere. What
other calibers are out there? For example, is the 7.62 Nato round fired by
a pistol? Would it make sense for it to be fired by a pistol, or not? Why?
What factors determine which calibers can and cannot be used in pistols?
Something more traveller oriented... I just picked up Traveller 2300
and the Earth/Cybertech supplement for same. I bought 'em because I've been
meaning to get the newer versions of traveller for a while, and I came across
these at a cheap price. I've heard that 2300 has been rendered "obsolete"
by the game producers, though. Is this true? Why?
