Dream A Little Bigger, Darling - the Inception Fic Writer's Guide to Firearms, Pt 1

[chn_breathmint]

IntroductionSo, I've noticed that a lot of fanfiction writers have very little firearms knowledge. That's not really something that I hold against them. Not everyone lives where guns are legal, and not all of the writers with access to firearms actually wish to go out to a range and try some out

My entire gun knowledge consists of what I've learned playing video games and watching cop TV shows, so thank you so much for this awesome crash-course! I can tell it's going to be SUPER helpful and it's obvious you've put a ton of time and effort into it. It's really interesting and fun to read, too! This shall be my go-to in fics featuring guns for sure. Thank you, again! I'll definitely be reccing it to my friends. <3

Time, yes. Effort?

I think my husband is glad I'm done with Part 4 of this thing because he never wants me to IM him (while he works in another room) with gun questions again. (:

You. Are a Goddess. I can't even consider myself an armchair gun enthusiast, but I appreciate this. A great deal. Can a person have an accuracy kink? As in factu1 accuracy and not marksmanship accuracy?

[chn_breathmint]

I'm not a goddess, just someone who has an ability to translate from gunowner jargon to fan language.

And you can have an accuracy kink - that is entirely why I like Arthur so much.

Thanks for this! This will come in handy for a lot of fanfics, not just Inception ones! I was getting kind of tired asking my friend about these kind of things because one simple question always results in a 30 page essay with him. -_-

*throws confetti over this post*

Yeah, I actually think that's the biggest barrier for non-guns people who want to do gun-related research.

I'm glad it's handy, and if you think there are other fandoms that could use this, link it to them.
