    Ah so, grasshopper, but it's called Edge of the Sword vol. 1:  The
Compendium of Modern Firearms.  Actually, this seems really petty of me.
Sorry.  But I was _kinda_ right.
    Apparently, they were gonna release more than one volume, with the
second covering heavy weapons or whatever, then melee, etc.  They just never
got around to it.

And...

    There's a book for CP2020 called "Neotribes" (I think) that has some
cool future-primitive weaponry.  One piece of work is a rifle that fires
bars of metal using a rechargable air-cannister as propellant, if memory
serves.
    Also, some of the Chromebooks have some stuff, that in my opinion is
unsuitable for normal grunts but makes great gear for junkers, such as
railguns, EMP grenades, and the rest.  I can't say I really thought about
CP2020 when I was working on my HoE game, but now that it's been
suggested...
