This ^^^

The first two guidelines/rules ask to be realistic with weapons, and to try to stray away from firearm-related backgrounds. Also, it does feel incredibly one-sided with both characters having essentially their own little armories while everyone is rocking simple shit like crowbars, knives or whatever basic weapon they have. Like, I highly doubt Jess would have a gun or something of that nature (nor do I want her to have one right now), but it really doesn't make much sense to me that two people are rocking that much firepower in the group while all the other characters have jack squat to their names.
