It already looks like it fits into Eclipse phase, nearly on its own. nice. I suppose I was thinking more 'crunch' then 'fluff', but that alone has convinced me that fluff is worth looking into. wow. Also, I suppose its worth mentioning that the dueling I brought up from the core, is meant to be something of a sport, and thus less immediately lethal, though apparently still uses live ammo and such. (probably because of how advanced medical technology has come, and the 'relative' ease of being re-sleeved, costs aside.)

I figure part of the reason it would be single shot is to keep the lethality down, more then confidence to Win in one shot. That being said, I could also see it as a 'balancing' factor to keep blades relevant in the duel.. after all, if Its a pistol and only gets one shot, a miss or low damage hit is hardly going to drop your foe, and then your left with either a glorified club, or forced to use your own blade. Could keep things interesting anyway. (I really like the idea of bolt action pistols though. That just sounds stylish.) I suppose overall, not many people found that passage as interesting as I did. Still, At least there was some talk, and some ideas hashed out. ooh, another idea for 'Soft lead ammo' (assuming it doesn't mean hard case ammo.) would be to lower the AP of the bullets, since lead isnt really going to penetrate well without some case. which works, since the idea seems to be more about biomorphs dueling, as opposed to actual combat. (not that dueling isn't as real, but Its certainly more controlled. Sometimes.)
