Hey there guys, looking for a little bit of RP help here :)
I know very little about guns, and one of my many pet peeves in writing is just winging it and writing about something I don't know about. One of my characters is a Bounty Hunter and as such, she uses guns a lot. Now, I know that this is a Star Wars Roleplay, it's Science Fantasy, why would I want or need to know about guns in an RP such as this?
Well, the simple fact is that many of the weapons in the tech compendium use real life weapons as a basis for their appearance, not to mention the fact that Blasters are most likely an evolved form of Slugthrowers (i.e. conventional weaponry) so it would make logical sense that they would borrow some design aspects and basic concepts. Admittedly, it is flavor text mostly, but I'll be damned if I produce shoddy or boring writing that doesn't reel you in when I could've done something about it!!!
With that in mind, is there anyone on the site you know of that could help me when it comes to gun knowledge? or do any of you guys yourselves know a fair amount about guns and wanna help me? ...I'll give you cookies
