One of the features that I like about Traveller is the simple selection
of weapons. You as a GM can get very explicit in the selection of weapons
in your campaign (i.e. "Do you want to look at a Glisten A24b 10 MM Snub or
an Interstell Arms X91 10 MM Snub?). If you want to, you can even get into
the used gun market and have all sorts of fun. For example, I bought a
used Taurus 9mm and shot 3 boxes of ammo through it on my first tryout.
2-3 rounds from every clip jammed. Needless to say, I was pissed. I took
the gun back to the store and traded it in for a new Browning Hipower.
Haven't had a jam since. I would think that every world manufactures weapons
that is able to. Basically what I say is that there are Imperial specs
for ammo and each world builds guns to those specs. Another thing you
could introduce are local weapons only. Your player finds a nice gun
that does a lot of damage but the ammo is only available from the world
or origin (a good calibre today to show this is the 7.65 Argentine).
Is something messing up on the distribution to the list? The last few
copies of the TML I have received have been chopped off somewhere in
the middle.
