I have to repeat what has been said - socket and plug weapons swap is fantastic and probably sturdier than some magnets. <br /><br />Seeing as you threw a bone, I suppose minigun in the quad could work as he'd spray everything infront of him - making sure enemies keep their heads down as he passes them by, moving deeper into enemy lines just to turn around and attack them from behind. Or something. I'm lost on shotguns, but I actually prefer them by the looks :DMathyoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11254075235438097742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-62862876481634836432014-05-05T14:59:07.181+01:002014-05-05T14:59:07.181+01:00I agree :-) .
