RE: [DL] Gunsmithing and PC's making guns

I don't like the sound of that.  That wouldn't make GR Steel any lighter.
It would make it stronger.  It also means that  almost any blacksmith with a
GR forge could make GR steel.  I'd prefer to have it be very rare, and only
made by MS metallurgists, using powdered Ghost Rock.  This would make it
lighter, stronger, and more valuable.

Besides, I thought GR burns so hot that it melts normal iron or steel.  It
would be hard to temper if that was the case.  It'd be like trying to temper
lead.  ;)

Also, ghost steel IIRC isn't made using ghost rock, it's just steel 
tempered over a ghost rock fire.
