[DL] the KnuckleDusters Firearms Shop

[UriahGutsball@aol.com]

    Today, while at my local gaming store, (Cipher in naperville!!! Yeah!) 
while looking to see if anything new from pinnacle was in, like the 
Collegium, I notice this book, The KnuckleDusters Firearms Shop, "A 
compendium of weapons for western Role-playing games", by Forrest Harris. 
It's published by Knuckle Duster Publications, (www.knuckleduster.com) which 
seems to do a line of generic Wild West type solitaire adventures, some of 
which were advertised on the back page of the book. I decided to get it.

    The meat of the book is five chronological chapters detailing a variety 
of guns from 1849 to 1900(really detailed- a page or more for each gun, and 
purty pictures), a chapter on accessories(holsters, sights, rifle scabbards, 
quickdraws, ammunition, speed-loads), one chapter called "cops on 
gunfighting", which interviews law enforcement officers for their view of 
realistic gunfighting, and a Rating system to aid in combining the 
information in the book to whichever game you play(a specail crib-sheet is 
dedicated to deadlands, with the specially thanked permission of Shane 
Hensley). 

    The purpose of this here post is to ask- Has anyone else heard 
of/purchased this book? What did you find useful? Did you have any ideas or 
epiphanies on the conversion of statistics? and more so, have you purchased 
anything else from Knuckle Duster?
