Professional tools like a ramset, a heavy-duty stud gun that uses .22-cal. cartridges to drive nails into concrete, are enjoying wider use.

She is a descendant of Navajos who returned from the terrible "Long Walk" of 1864, when the U.S. cavalry herded 8,000 tribesmen...
...topic from how "to build a submachine gun in your home workshop," to "a revealing look at fantastically effective sniping techniques," the latter complete with a chapter on "Sniper Employment." Maybe you need German Paratrooper Boots? Or a knife called the Dwarf ("the bastard of the mating of wormeaten wood with twisted steel.")
