A new, bigger pistol for Harry
Fcrate:
With pistols being hard to aim, and use, I'd say more ammo. I like the fact that Harry can't aim well, can relate to that. I prefer rifles though; put the stock to your shoulder, line up the target and make it happen. For close and personal, bashing the target is the way to go, and its much more humiliating.
Wait, was that too CoD?
TheJrade:
As a bit of a gun nut, I would recommend an FN Five-Seven for Harry. Quite expensive for a pistol, but holds a "berjillion bullets" as well as having equal knockdown power to larger caliber's like .45s. As a bonus, it also has considerable armor-penetration capabilities for those critters with tougher skins.

much too advanced and sensitive, the laser would never work and the launcher would probably blow up in his pocket with the first spell he casts.
Fcrate:
Fun, isn't it? :D
KurtinStGeorge:
From what we saw in Skin Game I get the feeling no gun is big lethal enough for Harry to use effectively against his most dangerous foes. He might be able to take out a fomor servitor or human flunky, or at least lay down some suppressing fire, but against major supernatural threats any gun Harry can carry isn't going to be much use. Also, remember that Harry is still a bad shot. In Cold Days he had to lay his winchester across a flat surface on the tugboat bridge in order to shoot people coming up the stairs from below. So he couldn't have been firing from a distance of more than 20 ft and probably less than that, but it was the only way he could fire accurately.
So Harry might be able to continue to use guns in duels against lower level threats. He might even be able to shoot a wizard who is distracted and not putting up a shield, but as Harry faces larger threats guns are becoming secondary weapons for him to use. They have specific but very limited uses.
