Of course, I would love weapon suggestions! Bonus points if it's not on one of my two lists already. I've been lucky enough to serve on six continents and have trained with almost a dozen different nations so my personal weapon knowledge was decent BEFORE I started researching. Now I am FILLED with useless historical data and nearly lost stories about the basement development of classic weapons, homeade contraptions, legends of weapon design and the backroom deals that caused inferior weapons to be selected for government contracts at a rate of approximately 90% according to my research. It's been a wild ride! And I am just getting started since I am working with a firearm engineer on Weapon Factory Tycoon. Now I am submersing myself in the engineering specifications or tensile strengths, barrel threading, trigger weights, sight mounts, grips, receivers, ballistics(at an engineering perspective), and of course explosives of all types and their detonators.
As for the poster, sadly our media is on the same mission to strike fear into the public in order to sell advertisements at commercials. Politicians, always eager to put their name on any sort of legislation so they can increase their chances of exposure=votes, they crank out new laws against guns everytime the media refers to a shotgun as an assault rifle or a semi-auto rifle with a 5 round magazine as a machine gun, a semi-auto pistol becomes an automatic handgun(when they invariably show a youtube video of someone shooting a full auto Glock, smiling and laughing out of context as if he is a madman). People don't read newspapers anymore, so they don't fact check anything. They also don't have attention spans, so they watch the teasers for stories and then change the channel to The Big Bang Theory(their science education) and assume they have the full story, which they will repeat at work the next day with their own embellishments. Yay for us!
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming, Arms Dealer.
