Weapons are an essential tool for any survivor of the post-zombie apocalypse world. To maintain a level of real-world consistency, we ask that you are reasonable with the weapons and firearms you bring into the roleplay, and how you use them.
Avoid using anything less than the most common models of firearms, and keep your usage of exotic and rare guns to the minimum. Mention of non-existant, fictional arms and the "crafting" one's own guns from scratch are not permitted in any aspects of the roleplay. Because all firearms are more than capable of stopping zombies and enemy survivors in combat, choosing a basic gun that you'd most likely be able to scavenge (or have already owned) should not prove much of a challenge.
When roleplaying and story writing, keep in mind that one well-placed shot is enough to kill, and anything else seriously injure your enemy. Keep the no-kill and no seriously handicapping designated player characters rules in mind, and don't be to loose with the trigger. For realism purposes, it is good for your character's to be ammo-conscious and conserve their ammunition. Firing a myriad of shoots without any indication of reloading or scavenging the appropriate ammunition is grounds for penalization. Spare clips of ammunition that just happen to be lying about isn't any more commonplace in the roleplay than in the real-world, so don't go overboard with the amount of ammunition that you are finding either, unless you can justify it.
