Re: [Gun Fu] Fitting a Gun to Its Owner
Fitting a gun provides a very good reason for gaining a Weapon Bond. But that's all it does: there is no separate "+1 for a fitted gun" modifier. In 3e, you got -1 to the Snap Shot number for a fitted gun, but Snap Shot doesn't exist in 4e.

Could a gun be both "Fitted to the Owner" and fine (accurate) or very fine (accurate)?

It's possible that a GM might make the Weapon Bond off limits, and allow for a "fitted to the owner" exception; but, generally speaking, beyond character concept, spending 2x money to get a pistol "fitted" to you is a complete waste of money in a campaign that allows the Weapon Bond perk anyway. Correct, or am I missing something? I'm harping, I know. But if it's any consolation, you two have convinced me I can't take "Fitted to the Owner" and the Weapon Bond perk. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something in the "Fitted to the Owner" explanation that would make me want to spend the extra cash to use that as the explanation.

Having a gun fitted to you costs cash, but it allows you to purchase a Weapon Bond with points by having a reason the gun is so perfect for you. In this case it's the gun that's been modified to fit your quirks, rather than you learning every single quirk of the gun, but the result is the same. Without this, I would require several adventures using the gun heavily before I would allow a player to purchase a weapon bond with it.

Also, a GM may have a position in between "You can have a Weapon Bond to anything you like" and "You must have a weapon expensively customised before you can buy a Weapon Bond to it." Quote:

Re: [Gun Fu] Fitting a Gun to Its Owner
Almost always if you want to buy an Advantage in game instead of as part of creating the character I'll want a reason. Having a weapon fitted by an expert is a good one for Weapon Bond, spending lots of free time for weeks test firing every gun at local gun shops would be another. But not just I spent a point.

Unless it's the magical Weapon Bond, then they can just do the ritual and presto, a Wizard did it. |

Re: [Gun Fu] Fitting a Gun to Its Owner
There's always roleplaying. There are after all a great many things people spend money on in the real world that somehow fail to improve their character stats. It's actually a flaw in RPG equipment lists in general that just about everything has to have a game mechanical effect, never mind that better game mechanical effects are expected to cost more.
