Frankly, as a certified firearms instructor and self-proclaimed hoplophile, I was completely underwhelmed by the Gun Fu book.  I expected more 'gun' and less 'fu' ... since we have martial artsy stuff coming out the ying-yang for Hero Games ...while we have precious little that really hones in on firearms and their related crafts (which are not, I repeat, not martial arts -- but can pair reasonably well with martial arts).  Had I been given a glimpse/preview into the Gun Fu book before buying, I'd have saved my cash.

The Hero System Equipment Guide has lots of firearms, but the tables and rules for how certain elements are built are inconsistent.
