I've scanned through 02SMR looking for weapons usage and 30 entries (I only 
noticed a single instance where the original text reminded you to update your 
ammo).  List is below (deep breath):

4, 10, 18, 19, 23, 26, 27, 35, 40, 49, 62, 95, 103, 107, 138, 142, 163, 176, 181, 197, 223, 245, 246, 258, 266, 271, 292, 318, 319 and 348).

Hoo boy! And still two books remain unchecked! How many footnotes will there be altogether in Book 2, I wonder? There's a list of 30 of them already!


sect8: monumentous -> monumental [irs: monumentous isn't in the dictionary]
sect23:    "you raise your weapon and unleash a round of fire at the door." -> "you 
raise your weapon and fire at the door." [irs: If you are using a machine pistol, this would be 6 
rounds, not 1.]

Both of those changes make sense.

sect187:    [irs: In previous section (332) you lost your pistol, can it be 
reclaimed?]
sect346:    checkered vs. chequered [irs: switch to English spelling, or keep 
American?]

I think chequered is better, since we're going with 'storey' in Book 1.

I found several Errata items on my first pass through the book in a while, so at least I'm chipping away at the errors as early as possible.

I can only applaud your monumentous--erm, monumental efforts. ;-)
