Over on rpg.net, Brian Gleichman took some poor game designers to task for not finding out the facts about how to handle the problems of using guns in extreme cold weather. “Especially when it plays a critical role in the adventure and is easy to research (just do a goggle search on “Firearms” and “Cold Weather”).“.
So I did that search. He was right. So I tried to see if this would help me find out some facts about the effect of sea water on modern guns, for my Feng Shui game. Well, not really. But I got some interesting links, like this one: “THE VOYAGES AND FIVE YEARS’ CAPTIVITY IN ALGIERS, OF DOCTOR G. S. F. PFEIFFER , GIVING A TRUE DESCRIPTION OF THE CUSTOMS, MANNERS, AND HABITS OF THE DIFFERENT INHABITANTS OF THE COUNTRY OF ALGIERS, WRITTEN BY HIMSELF”, and this one: Sea Kings of the Antilles, an article about the Carib indians.
