[HT] Glock 24, a Fine gun?

[gregoriomata]

On their website, Glock announces the Glock Glock 24, 17L, 41, 34 and 35 as pistols for competitive shooting. Do you think that can be considered what GURPS High Tech calls a Fine (Accurate) weapon?
Thank you for your answers.

It is one of those things.. I am not fully sure as a Glock 34 that I have cost about 1.5 times what a Glock 17 would have cost back when I bought it(no idea about current prices). But my guess would be: no, they do not count as such in GURPS terms.

Trying to map real world to game numbers is always tricky though.

But the ones people use for competitive shooting are definitely fine/very fine(accurate) though. That is people doing competitive shooting tend to get their weapons modified quite much. At least I have used a lot on the improvements to my Glock 34 over the years(barrel, sights, grip surfaces, trigger).

I would guess that what non-gamers call great for competetive shooting would qualify for reliable non-crappy/mediocre mass produced guns.

Perhaps they are fine for the purposes of Sports (Competitive Shooting)? I don't mean to sound dismissive at all, it's just that when someone says "This will give you an edge in competition," that probably doesn't mean "And also the battlefield." I mean, the reason the AK-47 has such a great reputation is not because of its accuracy during shooting competitions. The reason a Glock 24 might be an excellent choice for a competition shooting might not make a it a great weapon on the battlefield.

Sort of like a foil is superb for competition fencing, but not really something you'd want to try to kill an orc with.

Maybe give a bonus to Armoury rolls to upgrade to Fine (Accurate)?

[Litvyak]

AFAIK, there's no special fitting that goes into any of those Glocks, so I'd be inclined to say no to Fine (Accurate). Though I'd probably give the 17L and 24 Acc 3 because for their long barrel length, much like the AMT Hardballer Longslide under the Cold Government description in HT.

No. None of these pistols are any more accurate than any other production Glock.

They have factory adjustable sights. Same sight picture as stock sights.

Stock sights are adjustable for windage since they are dovetailed on.

There's also the issue that there's only so much granularity in pistol accuracy in GURPS. these guns might qualify as being 'acc 2.3' or 'acc 2.5' and so on
