 weapons (maybe some others too - didn't notice).
 are the HI weapons on the archetype pre-Throckmortons control of the 
 plant perhaps, and if so are all of the accesorise-in-black goons 
 weapons available in such a manner.
 
 second up - the law dog archetype has a Colt Peacemaker, how common 
 would antique weapons be. and the illustration of the archetype shows 
 the Peacemaker has been modernised a tad - would these antiques have 
 continued production long after The Real World(TM) dates ?
 
 or is this all to be revealed in The Wasted West and i'm just wasting 
 bandwidth ?  :) >>


First off, HI made guns for commercial and military uses before the war. Many
of those are still around. After the war, the only place making guns is the
automated factory in Denver, and they're *all* chipped.

There are *tons* of nifty new guns in Wasted West, courtesy of everyone's
favorite gun nut, John Hopler.

Peacemakers would not be particularly common. Think of them as just like
today. You won't find a ton of them in a gun store, but you'll probably find a
couple of replicas or "anniversary" issues. And of course, they're not the
first targets of looters, so they're just a little more likely to still be
lying in the ruins than automatic weapons.
