Illuminated Site of the Week
January 24, 2009: Illuminated Site of the Week: When You Glow, You Can Always Find Your Way
The seas north of Russia are cold, inhospitable, and isolated. Night reigns 100 days out of every year, but before the invention of GPS, someone had to show ships the way lest they crash upon the jagged rocks. So who ran the lighthouses? No one.

They still pump out plenty of wattage for anyone who cares to loot, get irradiated, and mutate the local wildlife.

This is the master catalog of all that shoots and explodes in GURPS (as well as many things that don't). Or you could go for the slimmed down GURPS High-Tech Weapon Tables. Or if you've a particular penchant for the pulp period, there's GURPS High-Tech: Pulp Guns, Volume 1 and Volume 2.
