Any suggestions for a name for this gun?

The Garnett

That gun was designed by Guy Garnett ([email removed]), longtime
TML member and coordinator of the TNE-Pocket sublist and admin of the GDW-
Beta sublist.

GDW-Beta was formed to test some of the design sequences in FF&S, and
Guy tried to re-create a real-life Soviet anti-tank rifle from the 1930's (PK
something)
using the small arms design rules.  Upon seeing the result, he called it the
"poor man's fusion gun".  POT describes its use EXACTLY as he envisioned.


Guy also has a regular column, "House Rules", in _The Traveller Chronicle_,
a new Traveller magazine now gearing up for its fifth issue.


I say give credit where credit is due.  The Garnett Gun it is.
