Or, do the hand-held weapons have infinite uses, and just the firearms have to be discarded after the set number? ----YES, HAND HELD WEAPONS HAVE INFINITE USES AND JUST FIREARMS ARE DISCARDED AFTER THEY RUN OUT OF AMMO 5) If a survivor is eaten in the escape phase, what happens to his weapons,if any? ----THE WEAPONS OF THE EATEN ARE DISCARDED. 6) When are events played? If as a distinct phase, would suggest inbetween Weapon and Penetration phases. Otherwise, "can play in any phase in your turn, but only one event/turn." ----YOU CAN PLAY EVENTS AT ANY TIME, WHENEVER IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE, WITH NO LIMIT ON EVENTS PER TURN.
