Bulletproof Blues 2e FR:Equipement
Rien n’empêche matériellement un personnage de Bulletproof Blues de porter des armes et de conduire des véhicules : l'armement et les véhicules ordinaires n'entraînent pas de coût en points de personnage. Cependant, il pourrait y avoir des obstacles légaux ou financiers à l'obtention de tels équipements, mêmes s'ils sont relativement communs. De plus, le matériel ordinaire demande exactement la même maintenance et les mêmes soins que ces équipements demanderaient dans le monde réel, ce qui n'est pas le cas de ce qui est acheté avec des points de personnage.
Par exemple, un personnage dont la Rafale 4 est un pistolet, et qui a payé des points de personnage pour ce pouvoir aura rarement des ennuis pour des raisons triviales comme un problème de chargement ou d'éjection de la cartouche vide, et le joueur gagnerait probablement un point de trame si une telle malfonction se produisait. Pour un héros dont l'automatique a été acheté à l'armurerie locale (et pas avec ses points), de telles défaillances matérielles sont relativement communes et n'accordent pas de point de trame au joueur.

Armes de Mêlée
Hand-to-hand weapons such as clubs and knives have a damage rating equal to the rank of the weapon or the character's Brawn rank + 1, whichever is greater. A knife with damage rating 1 wielded by a character with rank 2 Brawn would have an effective damage rating of 3. Using a weapon allows a character with Brawn of 3 or less to inflict normal damage rather than stunning damage.
Using extraordinary amounts of Brawn with an ordinary melee weapon may damage the weapon. If the character's Brawn is greater than the rank of the weapon + 3, it's likely that the weapon will be destroyed when it is used. For example, a character with Brawn 4 can use a wooden chair (Strike rank 1) as a melee weapon, but the chair would be smashed to pieces after the first such attack. Similarly, the blade of a two-handed great axe (Strike rank 4) would be twisted into scrap metal after being wielded a few times by a character with Brawn 8.
