Re: [HOE] S&W Series 500 Sidearm

["Stephan Elsner" <schnabul@yahoo.de>]

Hmmm, sounds like a really huge gun. Is there a picture in the net? IŽd like
to see it. You wrote .50 rifle for ammo. Man did you ever see a .50 rifle or
machine gun round?!? Its about 14 cm long.....much too large for a handgun.

As to the stats (just my suggestion):

Ammo: .50 pistol (as for the SA officers sidearm)
Shots: 5
Rate of Fire: 1
Range: 10 (IŽd never take more for pistols, as they simply are not very
accurate due to the short barrel)
Damage: 4d6 (like the SA sidearm)
Price: donŽt know but like the SA sidearm.

by the way: I never understood the damage values of handguns in the main
rulebook. I once opened this topic on the listserv. Its strange that 9mm and
.45 are both 3d6 and .38 only 2d6 (its nearly impossible to kill a brainer
with one shot). .44 magnum and .50 are 4d6. I tried to get a system behind
it for making new weapons, but I couldnŽt get it. I made a few new stats of
my own, but I feared they werenŽnt balanced enough.
