QFT.

Remember, when the book was written, the authors sat down and watched movies. To paraphrase Neo, "LOTS of movies."

If you saw it in a film and couldn't do it by the regular rules, typically it got a Perk. One Many Army is such a thing. Sly and Arnold and Jesse can wield stupidly powerful weaponry, either at all (the M134 minigun that was "Old Painless"; even the XM214 5.56x45mm '6-pak' had 90lbs of recoil force) or in one hand (Sly's repeated use of M60s, and Arnolds wielding one in each hand of a railgun that supposedly fired projectiles at the speed of light in Eraser).

To do this, you need to violate RAW. So be it. Perk.
