What about a Balisong knife for Mildred and an entrenching tool for Krysty.

what about a dart gun and a tazer then...

No man I'm serious. Give them battlebroads some blades.

I mentioned in "Blood Harvest" that Mildred thought about going for her knife but the giant mutant of the night confronting her had a whaling "head spade" in hand and she decided to try and jump out of the tree instead.

The original author, Lawrence James, had Krysty with a knife. Like Ryan, she had a back-up blade, along with her pistol.

Still, with all the greatness that author penned, along with other authors since, only true greatness shows when very intelligent authors give her and Mildred automatic rifles, and Ryan an automatic blaster like his once awesome weapon, the G-3.

Hell, in a world such as DL, they all should be carrying fully automatic weapons. A .38 revolver and a long gun won't win in a true firefight, open combat, or close combat. Which is the most type the companions run into.

That's a good question. I'd expect Mildred to have (and wield) a scalpel; as for Krysty, I'd say a bowie knife. A hachet sounds kinda cool, though.

You see, Mildred's temper at certain things and between the dreads and her being from this century anyway's I could really see her packing a switchblade and knowing how to use it, even a 'pig-sticker' or stiletto would be something easily pocketed.

Never said it was a big deal, I also clearly stated in my first post that anything huge wouldn't be feesible to carry around.

It was a simple question about "lack of" not "need a new one"

This is not a gun thread.

lad?

Anyway's, It was a simple question. If no-one want's to post about what they think then neat I guess. If it's been done a 1000 times then O.K. I put a search in before it was posted into a topic and believe it or not I can't make head's or tales out of the search engine around here, needless to say, nothing came up.

No need for me to "chill"

SPOILERS!!!!-for Vengeance Trail

Finished Vengeance trail yesterday, very good book overall. Can't seem to find that topic either. So I'll give my review here.

I give it a 9. -1 point for the hysterical Ewoks. (But also entertaining). When Ryan flew across the canyon and bum rushed the train I was really ready for some B.O.C to start playing and Don't fear the reaper to start reverbating through his motorcycle.

The fact that it was a very "busy" book was nice. All the companions were doing their own thing. Most are seperated. And the premise of JB being so into the weapons and wag put him totally off character for people who in everyone's mind murdered his best friend, as they should of been more prepared to escape. That was also a reason for a point loss. Another gleaming example of the author not knowing the character's. Allthough this book was one of Victor Milan's best IMHO.

After reading Palaces Of Light, this was an action to action book.

There is kind off an unwritten rule here that to talk about the Gun's and Equipment used by the "Hero's" is oh so yesterday. I personally don't feel that way about it, but i've only been a Member for about a year or so, where as a lot of the member's here have been about since John Lennon was still alive(Joke) and therefore this has been discussed this to death.
"Lad" is a colloquialism from around my area(UK) and is meant as a friendly jibe not as a reference to your age, as i'm guessing your older than me.I'm 29.
I said "Chill" because your "text" seemed to me to be slightly irrated by my "text" and this was not my intention.
I come here to have a bit of banter but it all was seems to revert to snarky responces.
So all water under the bridge, mate.

This is exactly as it seems to me. I would think that banter among people would be fine considering the source topic. I also don't comprehend the term 'would be so boss' I've played a lot of Borderlands also so I am assuming it meant superior? Also I am 40.

Hope that helps.

It still amazes me that so many people are from the UK, when the DL books are based in the U.S. Although so was LJ (From the UK that is)

Kind of cool to ponder.
