Tidbits and Trivia ((OOC))
I thought you were saying that the Bull is single-action, to which is but it is not single-action-only.
I love my XD-45. I was going to get a GLOCK before I discovered the XD series that Springfield Armory is importing. Looks better, better safety features, excellent reliability, and not many handguns carry 13 rounds of .45 ACP in a normal-length magazine. The XD-45 didn't win two Handgun of the Year awards in 2006 for nothing.

I'm sorry. I have to personally thank you.
I hate it when people write/type "Glock."
IT'S GLOCK!
Um. . . I saw a gun once. I think. I've seen a flashlight, does that count?
Ah, I remember when I was young, perhaps five or six... My father taught me to fire a rifle. I fired it through my pillow, my door, and killed my "Woody" 'action figure'... Oh, that was so fun...
Ah... Fond memories...
Bah. XD;; Gophers in the backyard with a BB gun when I was twelve.
Kept them away from my strawberries. :P
Japancakes.

Oh, I remember! I had a gun once! I think it was a "Super Soaker" model!
I got a BB gun for Christmas when I was twelve. I likes shooting cans but when by step-dad started shooting at birds and squirrels with it I hid the gun in the attic .
Anyone here read the Chronicles of Narnia when they were younger? I was a fan of that series in 5th and 6th grade and after seeing the movie, I went out and bought the books so I could reread them. I based Ian's general personality on my favorite character in the book series. Can you guess who?

It was that scrappy sharp-tongued talking mouse with the rapier and a plume behind his ear, Reepicheep. He's honor bound and demands respect dispite his size. He's afraid of nothing and never backs away from a challenge. It just so happens that I joined in SH101 not long after that movie released, if my memory serves me right.
Speaking of which, here's one tidbit I find amusing: Both of my main heroes, Virelai and Sir Morgant, live an honor-bound life. Virelai's concept of honor is a lot more flexible than Morgant's black-and-white views, but she still holds true to honor, nonetheless.
Despite both of them living by honor, per se, I, personally, think that honor (in combat) is an outdated, useless, and overrated concept.

I didn't have the fortune of reading them while I was younger, but visted them after the movie came out.
Reepicheep was a awesome character

I LIVED on the Chronicles of Narnia when I was little.
Reepicheep was the cutest thing ever.
Japancakes.

Hehe. I liked those books too.
And yeah, Reepicheep was great.
I never read those books. I was too into H.G. Wells for so long... Then I got Treasure Island, King Arthur, Shadowmancer...
My personal favorite book has got to be 'Cell' though, by Stephen King. Anyone ever read it?
Oh, by the way...
Am I the only one that doesn't get Ess' name?
Yes, you are. She's making a tribute to Soviet by using her Malta alias.

*ding ding ding*
Essex's ridiculously un-codename-like Maltan codename. XD Because she doesn't get it.
Personally, if I was giving her a real one, I'd probably go with "Dragonfly Ivory 7-7-7." Or something.

Oh yeah, I've read cell. Its alright, though I think that its no Stephen Kings best. I love his works, I own all his books. "The Shining" is still my favorite. I enjoy most horror books.
Personally, I'd go with WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot.
Ah, yes... The Malta...
I look forward to fighting them... However, I doubt I could get Experiment to kill Gunslingers as fast as I would if I had not known Soviet's Malta...
I will have to watch and make sure not to kill Curtis.
I was helping Hal with some of his missions last night and we unwittingly were set against some Malta.
AWK-WARD....
But it was my first time fighting them.
Gunslingers are scary as [censored].

What really really sucks (other than the sappers) is those damn stun grenades. Those stuns last FOREVER. The only PvE that ever managed to detoggle my Invul tank.

Hahaha, you're all weakings! The Malta are my favorite opponents. Gunslingers are funny as hell:
Tango Black Something-or-Other: "Hey, Acid Zero, guess what? I'm all outta bubblegum!"
The Slinger: "C'mere, ya varmints!"
Random TacOp: "Confirmed MHI! We have a confirmed MHI!"
Golden Silver 4-4-4: "Stop yellin' an' shoot already!"
So yeah, Gunslingers are probably my favorite bosses in the entire game, not only because I like them as a challenge, but also because they spit those lines all over.
Sappers...they go either first or last. Since Acid and Kayman are resistant to holds AND stuns AND end drain, the Sapper takes lowest priority. Schwarzherz and Spion, on the other hand, will go for them first.
Schwarzherz: spam hold, fear, immob, another hold...there, that should do. Now shoot the guy.
Spion: tpfoe into trip mines. Done.

Frakking sappers. Always the first to go. I need my endurance for my toggles PLZKTHXBAI.
But I always shoot the Engineers at least once so they don't drop a turret. Kind of the way I shot the Sky Raider Engineers so they wouldn't drop FFGs.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
Hahaha, I know what you mean. When you DON'T want them to spawn the suckers, they manage to, and when you DO want the engy's to call 'em, they never do.
Getting that badge was a PAIN...

I'm more referring to three shots WHILE twirling it on a finger, without breaking the spin.
If ANYONE can do that with a single-action, AND hit the target dead-on, they are inhuman. Like Vir.
