Look to your left, now look to your right. One of these people won’t be here by the time you graduate.
Surely this belt is intended for traps/sentries, right?
This is probably a better main picture.
that’s… absurd.
Just hope you only ever get attacked from the side the gun points to.
Just rotate quickly and fire.
Was this so you could still shoot someone with your hands up, looking like you were surrendering?
Still classier than the alternative way of hip firing.
that guy is now castrated
Imagine you just wanted to high five your mate but now you have killed him .
OK that’s interesting! And you could trigger it with something other than your hand if you were particularly game.
Hah you could have them strapped all over and a trigger wired to each finger 🤔
