Your knowledge of the black market in "custom-made" armament influences
what you consider to be truth.

For instance, if you don't believe that the black market has access to
more interesting stuff, you're going to believe whatever the gun
manufacturers say is the maximum amount of ammo.
But that's just a stupid way to think about it. Obviously, a revolver can
be forged that can be loaded with as much rounds as you want. but... at
some point it becomes impractical, and a better solution becomes a machine
gun.---unless a revolver has some sort of definition (like revolvers can
only hold X amount of rounds, or else they're called something else).
