Whenever I start up a UA campaign, I tell people they can have _any_ guns
they want, licensed of not, but that they'll probably just get the PCS into
trouble.  It's very rare I get more than handguns being used, though
sometimes people own a rifle or shotgun they keep at home.  Actually, now
that I think about the only time I've had the PCs use non-handguns was when
running 'And I Feel Fine'

All the combat I've had has started close (10 metre's or less) where
handguns (or SMGs if you;ve got 'em) would be the way to go.  How do other
people find firearms getting used in their games?  What sort of combats do
you find happening?
