Guns! Guns! Guns! provides step-by-step instructions on how to design virtual firearms for any roleplaying game system. [1] Some of the parameters covered are damage value, projectile velocity, range limit, and barrel length. [2] The book provides conversions of this data for eight different RPG systems, including GURPS and Torg. [2]
