Yeah, pretty much. But i've been doing some rehab in the meantime, so i might be up to firing a few rounds now. It's just that i don't have any idea where, legally. And illegally? Nah, not my kind of fun.

And returning to the subject, i was surprised how neatly SR managed to describe bows. They fit, rules-wise, almost perfectly.

Bows are cool and relatively silent.  I really was never to impressed with them till I read Neuromancer.  That body guard guy in the space station was nasty.

[Dead Monky]

Bows are awesome stealth weapons.  They're quiet and able to inflict horrible damage.  My group's adept loves the damn things.

And with enough practice you can learn ballistic shooting. It's nice to hit the guy behind the dumpster without even leaving cover. And Bow plus high Archery skill, plus some ballistic AR help from programs, plus TacNet equals silent sniping over obstacles.

And MRSI software (WAR!) lets you do extreme armor penetration with a bow.

On a related note, I have a question for everyone. As everyone knows, Im also a (semi)frequent poster on the BT forums. There, they have fan articles about various stuff...I'm debating on doing the same here, maybe highlighting a specific piece of gear, weapon, etc starting with things that go bang and maybe moving on to other things should it go well. Anyone be interested in such a thing?

I know I'd be interested!

Hmmm... Me too. I even have an idea - I could re-make a 'squatter's guide to dirt cheap security' for SR.
Mmmm... Dusting off old stuff.

[freddieflatline]

I would be interested.

Things that go bang?  Things that go bang!  Things that go BANG!

THINGS THAT GO BANG!!

[Dead Monky]

I assume that's a yes from Gun Nut.

[Wayfinder]

I'd be interested

[Mystic]

Ok, wiz. I'll start working up a list, do some research and see what I can get out. Not sure if the style will be IC or not...depends on how the first draft comes along.

Things that go bang?  Things that go bang!  Things that go BANG!

THINGS THAT GO BANG!!

How about: THINGS GO BANG!!!!  For those of us who like the judicious use of explosives
