Guns & Writers:
Over the years I’ve seen new writers make some terrible mistakes about firearms in their stories, purely because they have no personal experience of using them. The kind of mistakes which can jerk the semi-knowledgable right out of the story-web you are trying to weave and destroy all your credibility.
I’ve put together a new page which will - hopefully - give you some basic information without overloading you in details. Unless you are a firearms enthusiast, and your tale needs lots of details, you can get away with some pretty well generic terms. So check it out. Some of the things you’ve only ever seen in films may make a little more sense afterwards.
This page may be removed later if it gets turned into a print magazine article, so grab it now, just in case.
