Any firearm firing ammo more than 50 years old I'd give a Malf of 18* to and then treat malfunctions as either misfires or hangfires.

For a misfire, it's just an unfired round, it needs the tap-rack-bang. For a hangfire, it still goes off, but on the next round... so they firer might be aiming somewhere dangerous to themselves or their allies.


* For cinematic reasons if nothing else. If you're already giving it a Malf rating for poor condition, then increase the Malf by one and have it misfire/hangfire when it rolls that specific result.

Twinkies have a 6 month shelf life because their filling is not made with dairy. Don't let urban myths fool you into eating a decade old Twinkie.
