Are there stats anywhere for the sort of guns that might be found in the hands of low end hooligans and thugs? Would GURPS Punk Guns be a viable supplement?
Also, criminals aside (although presumably they must steal their weapons from the same pool) what weapons are common in civilian hands (especially in the US)?
