Big Bang: Mini Bang 1 - Unpublished & Extra Material From 2003

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This volume collects the assorted promotional material we put together during 2003, along with a number of weapons that were done, but accidentally overlooked during the assembly of the first six volumes of Big Bang: The Mostly Illustrated RPG Guide to Modern Weapons. A total of 13 weapons and variants are presented. The weapons covered include:

  • The Beretta CX4 Storm, a new pistol caliber carbine rifle that has been on the market less than a year.
  • The Colt Lawman Mk. 3 "Air Crew" a revolver designed for issue to civilian airliner crews to combat terrorism - back in 1970!
  • The Companion Flashlight Firearm, a D-Cell Maglite flashlight with a built in .410 shotgun.
  • The H&K VP70, the world's first "polymer pistol", long before the Glock 17 came along.
  • Roth-Steyr Repetierpistole Modell 1907, one of the earliest semiautomatic pistols adopted by any military and prone to automatic fire.
  • XM-148 Grenade Launcher, the only real competition the M203 ever had in U.S. military trials during the Vietnam War.
  • FARA 83, a homegrown assault rifle developed for the Argentine military.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
