AW: [UA] What really happens in a gunfight?

[Unknown VariableX]

Yeah, in the English version there's an overview of American gun laws and 
the consequences of breaking them. And if I remember correctly, in the Swap 
Meet scenario in Weep, there's a short primer on Canadian gun laws and 
especially trying to get them through customs (which is probably not a good 
idea).

The realism in the setting just makes the surrealistic monsters and machines 
and spells and talking eggs stand out more, I think.

I dunno whether it's in the English edition as well... so I might just point 
out that in the edition I have there's also an abstract on German law 
considering weapons, ownership and such like. I study law myself, and I 
absolutely agree that it's necessary to point to these facts for a minding 
player or storyteller.

Players tend to organize weapons because of sheer coolness for their 
characters, and not out of necessity. I'm going to introduce a bunch of guys 
to "Unknown Armies" - probably with the good old "Bill Toge" or even "Jail 
Break" - one of my personal favorites, and I have told them even now 
beforehand that they should avoid fighting.

Greets,
