Hmmm - I wonder if the local news stand has an issue I can peruse...

If your local public library is large enough it might carry it.  And almost every one of them carries one or more of the books.

If your public library is large enough...  And not Canadian.  Best firearms book I could find in mine ended at WWII.

I shouldn't hold my breath checking out Australian public libraries, then...

If you want the recognition guides, try the usual spots: Amazon and E-bay. If you want the weekly, they have a subscriptions.

[KarmaInferno]

Be warned, though - Jane's Weekly is targeted mostly at professionals in the industry. As such their subscription prices are kinda high. Like 500 bucks or so a year high.

The books would be a lot more cost-effective, I'd think, despite being (I assume) more specific.

Well, I never claimed it was cheap.

Very true, a friend of mine got the guide to aircraft, tanks/vehicles, special forces, ships, and a couple more for like $100 off e-bay as a package deal.

I might see if I can grab an issue or two from the new stand, and if I like what I see, see what I can get book wise on eBay...

Hi folks,

I understand that the Runner's Black Book contains new firearms compared to Gun Heaven, but are there other additions with respect to other pdf (MilSpec Tech, Deadly Waves, This Old Drone, Unfriendly Skies), be it new items or new shadowtalks.

There has been some errata updates and they added a couple of reviews by Nightfire in the Shadowtalk.

For those thinking of Jane's, their online site is a 50% solution and will give you some idea of the print. jdw.janes.com

Thank you FastJack, so the only new toys compared to the pdf serie are new guns. 

About guns, the gun heaven introduction is called "WEAPONS OF LONG HISTORY AND REACH"
Long history refers to old weapons, but what does reach means in this sentence. I do not believe it refers to weapons that can shoot far away, because not all new weapons fall in this category, but I do not understand.
Can you please help a poor french guy? 

[EmperorPenguin]

I think that 'reach' is being used in the same way that 'influence' would be.  The vintage weapons found in the book are so popular and influential that they "reached" down through the decades and are still in use in 2073.

[Patrick Goodman]

The Imperial Flightless Bird is correct.

[Carmody]

ok thanks guys
That makes perfect sens, I was confused because I though that reach was qualifying the new toys whereas actually both history and reach refer to the old weapons.
