Call for Playtesters: GURPS Guns

And while I do know how to do research, someone who actually knows about firearms would have a big head start.

That actually strikes me as very useful knowledge; it's easy to find most statistics for modern firearms, but TL 3 and 4 is another kettle of fish. At the very least, being available to explain which specific sources and assumptions you used should be extremely valuable to anyone trying to make rules compatible with Low-Tech.

Now that you say it, that would be like GURPS Weapons. Probably should narrow that down to "Automobiles" :P

I admit I had completely forgotten about that one…

The high-tech line has been on my to-get list for a while, I'd be willing to pick them up for this project.

Is there a "complete list" of books outside of HT that needs covered?
What kind of values we'd need to locate as "play testers"?
