Yes, Firearms covers any cybergun. but a concentration would be
cyberguns-arm (or leg), while a specialization would cover a specific
make or model.

How many Wage Slaves use the Matrix? I always thought they used turtles.

Some. There's a "Corporate Decker" in the Contacts book. They use turtules
for "mundane" drek, and deckers for really important stuff.

I will post soon on this. I am working on an article on the topic of how
widespread cybernetics is. I tend to say that cost wise, many companies
will not want to pay the cost for surgery to make all of those wage slaves
able to run the Matrix when they would decrease their productivity only a
bit by having wage slaves using turtle terminals and just typing very fast
and being very facile with their mouse and voice input.
