Customer Reviews

Brilliant resource for modern gaming

Even though I'm not a fan of the palladium system and do not play it, I found this book to be an excellent source of information regarding weapons you would find in a modern setting. Lots of info is provided for each weapon, and the penetration value of each weapon is a great way of scaling weapons to fit pretty much any system. The weapons covered in it range from tiny hold-out pistols to very big and serious miniguns, as well as grenades, body armour, ammo types etc.

Great book!

This book is a great book if your looking for a ton of new weapons and more realistic injury rules for pretty much any Role Playing Game System. I have used it for rifts, and Dungeons and Dragons. It's an excellent book and I reccomend it for anyone who plays RPG's with lots of firepower.
