Subject: Glossary/Acronym List (was: SG2- Like it?)

I have started a Glossary/Acronym page at
http://www.ftsr.org/scifi/glossary.asp.
The page is done in ASP, so additions/corrections can be made easily.
Feel free to use this page and add items that are missing as necessary. It is
intended as a service to the GZG community.

Speaking of acronyms, Does anyone know what a PNG is (see
http://peninsula.starway.net.au/~epowles/oucatalogue.html top figure on
right).

Is this a typo for FNG?
Politically correct FNG? Pretty-New Guy? Private New Guy?
Projected Needle Gun?

Something else?

Just guessing but maybe it's Personal Needle Gun.

Papua New Guinea? Could be, looking at the hairstyle

This is undoubtedly the correct answer. The weapon looked standard, and I
could not figure out the acronym.

Thanks!
