I own Guns Guns Guns! and found it to be reminiscent of Striker II or n
versions of Fire Fusion and Steel as far as construction. It is
complicated.
But what it gives you is a high degree of integration for various weapon
types into a sort of common framework, and with the vehicle builder I'd
imagine you can then build a wide range of vehicles. The thing I liked
about
Striker II was the fact my tank could be built the way I envisioned it
(to
match a mini or to create my own image of one) and the stats fell out
from
the systems I installed and my hull design parameters and my tech level.
Similarly, 3G let me design some neat weapons and provides conversions
for
many systems (and Traveller's Digest produced a 3G conversion chart for
MegaTraveller).
One option for more detailed DS2/SG2 conversions would be to build
vehicles
with a system like this with a conversion table.
