I'd also encourage you to listen to the wise words of the GMs Chris and Dave, who have said on multiple occasions that it's worth a sit-down; either at the table if your group has a lot of rules lawyers, or one-on-one if you've just got the one problem player; tell them that you're the GM, and ask them to trust you to run a fun campaign. Rules discussions can happen after the fact. I LOVE talking with my players about rules, and I LOVE it when they pick my brain about character builds or ask me how one of my NPCs did something cool. And I love it when they call me on rules I messed up - not that it happens often because *raises hand* I'm the rule lawyer in the group.
But NEVER do we have rules discussions at the game table. At the very most, I spend 10-20 seconds looking up a rule if I need refreshing and it's important to the scene; otherwise, I make the call and we go with it. It's so much more fun when it's like that.

Thank you for the advice. I am good though. I do the before game chat, and remind them whenever needed too. Also I try and not game with the rules lawyers anymore. But sometimes it does happen.

I was just sitting here before I posted the above post thinking.
Hardly see the disclaimer of not trying to slow down the game with rules discussions.

Agreed. However, you should remain sensitive to the needs of your players. If a player wants to pull off some particular attack, action, etc. based on the rules themselves, and you as the GM say no, it can come off as arbitrary and (at times) petty. If your player goes into a game thinking that the universe works a certain way because that's how the rules are written, then it can be very disappointing when you whip out your GM/god card and (metaphorically) pull their universe's floor out from under them. It is important to have a standard way in which the universe works, otherwise your players will only be interested in pleasing you rather than abiding by an objective and rational basis for how the game universe behaves; this opens up all sorts of potential problems (real or perceived favoritism, frustration, resentment, pretty much anything you see in stories regarding meeting one's creator - Shelly's Frankenstein, I Robot, Star Trek I, etc.) Also, this can leave the players with a feeling of railroading - any success they have will feel like it's more because of your benevolence then their own ability to play the game, and any failure they have will feel like its due to your spite or capriciousness.

While you might not want to spend too much time considering specific rules at the table (and I fully understand that approach), make sure you explore what your player is trying to do later on. And if it's an insightful use of the game system, I'd be inclined to let them use it - for many players, that's where the fun is at.

Do you really think you can destroy a pedantry generator with house-ruled equipment?

But he can Tech Spec strip it for a Slot, and dual-gear install a "Harmonic Snark Amplifier".
