Most of my characters tend to be melee only in the beginning, though I do grab a shotgun for emergencys.

By the way, I think they should slightly nerf some of the guns found in basements. One time I found a freaking AK47...

High-damage, but you're probably not skilled with it, it's really loud, and you probably won't be able to find enough ammo to keep it going for long. I consider that balanced.

I meant it should be nerfed roleplaying-wise. Some people may keep a few handguns or rifles, but I don't know anyone who owns an AK47 :P

Really? Must be a regional thing here, I don't know many people who own guns at all.

I gotta say, it seems pretty common down here in florida that many people own VERY LARGE GUNS! I know a few people with ak's (simi and one guy has an auto!), at least two guys with m4, one with a bushmaster, countless with shotguns a highpower pistols. I Tend to think that finding an ak in a basement (IF ONLY RARLY) is a quite natural occurance. I find it super rare that a gun is in my starting location. One time i found a Taurus pro with 50 rounds sitting on the bed next to me, but other then that usually have a hard time just finding a backpack to keep stuff in.

It is slightly setting-breaking to have all these large guns available for sale in what is ostensibly New England.  My half-assed excuse is that it's the year 20XX, and the Teapartiers have seized control of the nation prior to the apocalypse (kind of a reverse LCS scenario, perhaps :P)

New England? I know plenty of folks in the region with guns, gun collectors, etc.

I'm not up on gun laws, but here in Massachusetts I'm fairly certain you can't walk into a gun store and find a SCAR-H behind the counter.

When I lived in kentucky, you could go into any big city pawn shop and get a p-90 machine gun. They have all kinds of full automatic weapons.

I live in a small rural town and everyone and their grandma owns at least one gun. Hell my grandpa has about 20 or so rifles in a closet in the living room.

I was born in Arkansas, and there were guns EVERYWHERE, but in the New England setting I think less people would have guns.

Ok then, an ak in the basement is now feasible. Also, not every body has permits for their guns, and some could be there illeagaly.

I'm fairly sure you're supposed to keep all of your weapons locked in a safe, not just lying around in your basement.

Basements, safes, same thing, amiright?

Regardless, people don't follow regs. And I've seen gun stores selling some pretty crazy stuff even in New England - Northern New England especially caters to Hunters, and there is a whole spectrum of equipment for them that one wouldn't normally associate with hunting.

I don't know if every gun found in the shops is accurate, of course, but I haven't noticed anything exceptionally out of the ordinary.

Not all guns in shops are for sale, either, I'd imagine - some might just be for display or for the owner to show off.
