I dont have a specific list of firearms, but I do have a suggestion.  One of
the new Shadow Run 3rd ed sourcebooks (I dont remember which one ... Wu Lung
... HELP) has a GREAT section on customized weapons and design.  It could be
adapted easily to allow a more varied selection of weapons to a BNW campaign
without too much work.

Another suggestion is to have your players do the weapons work up and submit
it to you.  Keep in mind that similar calibre weapons will do similar damage,
so if they want a tricked out .45 ... with an extended barrel, larger clip,
Laser Scope, brass catcher, and a slurpee machine built in .. it still does
base .45 damage.
