I would take the magazine end of the gun and crack it on the bridge of someones nose even if the darn thing was plastic. I dont' care, i want to insult you and save a bullet, find then.. SWACK in the nose.

But i see no rules agianst slapping the weapon foci on it as a club. Just got to make sure nothign bad happens to the gun, or it get stole, alot of eggs in one basket. I'm still going to prefer the weapon foci on the Yield Sign over that anyday!

Totally off topic, re: seeing cows?

I live downwind of a cheese factory. I've seen a cow give birth at my grandfather's farm. I see cattle nearly once a week while driving to and from town.

And cows don't hold a candle to the stink that goats do. I'd much rather get hit by an orbital cow before getting hit by an orbital goat.

Agreed on that point. They're also a lot dumber, to the extent that they invent new and creative ways in which to kill themselves that cows could never imagine.

You know, it's not that hard to replace the butt and magazine containment section of a gun. They're easily taken apart; all you'd need to do is replace the bit that you whack them with.

Another thing to consider? Shadowrun is The Future From The Eighties. Or rather, that's what I keep telling myself.

Chrome and Metal are EVERYWHERE. I imagine that, well, with the exception of the Puzzler/Infiltrator type guns? They're going to remain these heavy, full-metal obscenities that scream style over substance.

And will, therefore, hurt like bejeebus. And, well, if you wanted to go for the Cinematic Styling, go get a pair of those things from Equilibrium, even if faces don't slice off like that.

QUOTE (James McMurray)
Much like the original post appears not to have been meant to be an actual character, I doubt that the response was intended to mena literally dropping a cow on them from orbit. :)

Maybe, but ever since Blackjack introduced the concept, it has been advocated many, many times by other posters, usually as a knee-jerk reaction to any character considered "too powerful" or "munchkin".
