Re: Firearms discussion thread

I have also noticed that it is quite difficult to use two shotguns properly at the same time; I don't have the proper number of available limbs.

Perhaps the Guns Akimbo boost also gives extra hands?

About 15 years ago somebody asked me to post my firearms in PostMortem. I was unable to do this, because at the time, I did not own any firearms. This has since changed. I can post pics of firearms now if people are still interested. Failing that, we can still discuss firearms here if you like. Disc...
