Best as a gamemaster reference,
By
This review is from: Blackhand's Street Weapons 2020: The Cyberpunk Weapons Collection (Paperback)
This book has just about every weapon you can think of in the Cyberpunk 2020 universe. Everything from dinky home-made nomad knives and crossbows to the highest high tech rail guns and pulsars. You'll find it all here. The descriptions of each weapon and the game stats are all there too, which makes this book a must for gamemasters that want a single reference for all those weapons that pop up in all of those books.You also get a bonus gun that's a pretty nifty design. It's no 'borg killer or anything. Just a regular (well... not so regular) slug thrower. While it should not be the ony reason to get this book it is a nice little bonus. Unfortunately for me this book does have a downside, and that is the illustrations. Now the illustrations themselves are excellent. It's just the way they present them and how many you get. For a book with literally hundreds of weapons in it you only get about 30 illustrations, and they are all put together on a couple of pages in the middle. NOT next to the data entry of that weapon. While they do give you a page reference it's not the same. What would have made this book the absolute coolest ever is if they had as many illustrations as possible, each set next to the corresponding data. People like me enjoy visualizing the gear and it's hard to when there is no reference. Aside from the lack of illustrations the book is a nice single source reference for the weapons of Cyberpunk 2020. If they could have afforded to put more time and resources (and thus more pages) on the book it would have been awesome.

5.0 out of 5 stars
MUST HAVE for CP2020 GMs,
By Terinati (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blackhand's Street Weapons 2020: The Cyberpunk Weapons Collection (Paperback)
If you are serious about GMing CP2020 campaigns, this books is very important. Not only does it compile all of the information on just about every gun, knife, or explosive in the CP2020 world (very useful for quicker reference, or if you don't own all the sourcebooks), but it even has a new gun unavailable in other books.The kicker, though, is in the very back, where a 'new rules' section details how weapon kickback and soforth can be handled. So your friend's dinky little scantily-clad lady character INSISTS on wielding a handgun that's twice the size of her head? Put the punk in her place!! With the new rules not only will she not be able to control that monster, but it's liable to break her arm. Also, some expanded ammo types are listed in the ammunition section. The one downside is as another reviewer mentioned; the illustrations of the weapons are rather lacking.
