Writer's Weapons

A Writer's Resource on Weapons

Descriptions and tips for fiction authors on describing weapons and how they work - and a little of why. This is a work in progress - more will be added as needed, or requested in the WW BLOG.

Different weapons will be illustrated and discussed on the attached pages in sufficient detail to help someone who is not very familiar with weapons "get it right" while writing fiction. A reminder and disclaimer - these pages are only a resource for writers writing fiction - to help someone who may not know all they need about a particular weapon - to help keep the clips out of the automatics. (AUTOMATIC pistols are not truly "automatic" - they are SEMI-AUTOMATIC - and use MAGAZINES - not CLIPS). The hyperlinked words will take you to the glossary for further explanations.

This is not a source for legal advice - man, are you ever in the wrong place for that! - nor for the interpretation of laws or governmental policies.

If you are handling or actually firing a weapon, be especially carful to follow all manufacturer's safety guidelines, AND use common sense. These are devices designed to harm. Do not let the harm fall to the unintended.

Let me know via the WW blog if you have questions or corrections.
