Who are your favorite fiction writers when it comes to guns? I'll start it off with Stephen Hunter (great name ). Right now I'm reading "Black Light" and cannot put it down. He is a great writer!
Hunter doesn't dedicate a huge chunk of the book describing weapons, ballistics, etc. but he does a great job of weaving gun stuff throughout the novels. He is a FORMER liberal/gun HATER turned GUN LOVER! Ya gotta love the guy for that!! Overall, he does a great job on researching the guns, ballistics, etc. his characters use in the books.
Here's a neat website on Hunter if you're interested in learning more about Hunter and his characters like "Bob the Nailer" and Earl Swagger. Bob was based on real life sniper Sergeant Carlos Hathcock.

So, let us know your favorite authors so we can check them out!
