    "Bolt action with a spring-loaded magazine starting out but that'd be plenty to kill or at least route twenty times your numbers."

    OK, but 20*12 is still only 240 you know. Run into just 250 orcs and you're toast. There were hundreds of thousands of the buggers running all over the countryside, remember?

    Plus if you're thinking you can replicate Springfields quickly from a medieval start you're a better smith than I am, by a long shot. I figure I'd be doing well to get flintlocks going. Probably napalm and land-mines would be a better investment of time and resources. Or a 12 volt system for the castle.

    Sounds like a helluva title for the introductory story to a new series/universe. I'd like to order my copy now!
