I Am A Nerd
Oh my god, why did I not find out about Google Notebook before today? It is wonderful and fulfills my deep burning desire to organize things. I already have files started for Eva, Leon, and assorted gun info, although I may add one for Tseng shortly.
Speaking of, I just had the revelation that while I personally like revolvers better than semi-auto, Tseng would probably opt for a semi-auto, at least for work, for the pure and simple reason that they chamber more. Most of the large-caliber rifles are only chambered for six rounds, and you're supposed to leave one empty for safety. The large caliber semi-autos, though, hold ten in the magazine plus one in the chamber, and it's really easy to carry an extra magazine and switch when one is empty, as opposed to reloading a revolver.
Now to decide if he'd go for something more exotic than a 1911-style semi-auto or not.
(...And I totally need an Ada 'girl with guns' icon)
EDIT: Randomly, where the hell are all the cool RE people hiding? I know of a few interesting people over in the Claire/Leon bit of things, but I'm afraid to talk to them because almost all the C/L fans are some variety of Ada-hater and would either try to kill me or irritate the hell out of me, because while I like Claire, I like Ada too (Claire/Leon/Ada OT3! ...Yeah, crack, but it's fun crack)
EDIT 2: And the cool DMC people, too, although I know a few of those. There the problem is less crazy shippers as it is finding the ones who aren't totally bitchy.
