Do-it-yourself violence

Today, I bring you oodles of:

Knives!

Guns!

Explosives!

Learn how to properly discuss them, write about them, refer to the various bits and pieces, and have your characters use them without...you know...cocking the trigger on a rapier, or something like that. Want to know what materials go into various blades and the possible grades of steel? Do you know what a gun nipple is? Curious as to the chemical composition of smokeless powder? All these answers and more are just a click away.

I know. I probably just kicked my blog into the "not safe for children" category. Oh well. I'll suffer through it.

Now go on outside and play with your new toys. And remember--violence isn't always the best answer to your problems, but it can make for a wicked fight scene.

(by the way, isn't "oodles" just a fun word? I think so.)


I see that smile.
