i was filliping through the cannon companion and i found what i think is an anomaly.
the ultra new and shiny centurion laser crescent axe has a street index of . 5 that is less than most pistols and equal to the street index of the areas predator. for such a high tech weapon i don't think that this is right... just thought that i should bring this to the attention of people out in the matrix. |
