:I do have a question for all you gms out there. what would you do if
: your players had a construction guru and said they were just going
:to build their own thunderbolts. What skills would you say are
:neccessary and how difficult would you make the rolls?
I had a similar question, but from a different angle.
Instead of something complex like a burst fire pistol, what would it
require to make cheap simple firearms, if say a barrens gang decided
one weekend that they wanted to tackle this sort of Do-It-Yourself
project? Nothing complex like a semi-auto or anything, maybe bolt
action at the most complex.
For example, would it be possible to, oh, say make a single-shot
shotguns out of some lengths of the correct gauge steel pipe, some
shells, and some sort of spring trigger? I know range would suck, and
accuracy would be right out, but would such a thing be possible? Or
would it just blow up in the user's hands?
Also would the old decker's trick of using a control slave operation
to change what a computer-aided-manufacturing production line
produces work for making some simple gun parts?
Essentially, what I'm going for, is the theme of "technology falling
to the level of the street".
