... have you ever had one of those moments while you were researching something for a story where you think "You know, if I weren't doing this for the purposes of fiction, I would be a pretty sick bastard"?
Yes, absolutely.
It was mildly disturbing using the Glock website to determine which model would be most easily concealed by an armed robber (I think it was the G-19, as it turned out).
It was even more disturbing to find a website that listed exactly how much of what you'd need to take if you wanted to commit suicide. And then you can go to another site and find nice photos of the pills in question (hundred-grain Seconals) so you can get them the right color in your story.

It does get weird sometimes. Very weird.
