Greetings!
Figures my first post made on this fourm would be a strange one; but I'm at a wall and need advice from people far more experienced in mutions then I am. It's semi-long introduction to prove I'm not crazy, so if your bored, just skip to the bolded text for the actual question.
I'm something of a Writer and Illistrator in my spare time; I'm in college to try to get a degree to be a Conceptual Artist for a Film or Computer Gaming corperation, so obviously this has me dealing with Style Vs. Practicality in design of characters and various devices; I try to live by the rule 'Keep it Simple.'
Well I've been building my portfolio lately, and I've started in on some designs for a Survival Horror themed character; some of the yougner members will probably recognize this for the Resident Evil games, and the older members will undoubtadly recall images from Dawn of the Dead.
Well the character is supposed to be a Small-Arms expert, specifically preferring High-Caliber handguns. Now the setting has it where he's supposed to be 'used' to dealign with all manner of critters bigger and tougher then the average human.
Now, because of my influences over the years, in a modern-set theme, I'm a nitpicking stickler for realistic accuracy of Firearms and equipment either cited or used in the design or writing; and I hate to make up fictional weapons especailly to fill a need in the story.
Now My base of knowladge on high-caliber handguns is mostly limited to Revolvers, and I'm looking for an Automatic, so after a long-winded introduction; here's the question.
What sort of Automatic and Revolver would you reccomend for taking down creatures that'd fall fairly easily into the catagory of 'Big Game'; but are still plausably functional in actual CQC situations?
I'm at a loss for what to put in the character's hands here; it has to be something that won't really 'stick out' and is easily supplied with ammuntion from any old backwater gunshop.
I appriciate anyone who's managed to read this entire thing without dismissing me as a loon.
