True, forgot about that due to not using scopes on pistols even in a game, but a +2 is better than +1 in any case and if you have a more accurate weapon like a acc 3 one the difference starts to be fairly big from +1 to +3, giving *2 range at what you hit with the same effective skill.

All three of those were great, but this one, I really want to know what on earth that fluffy thing at the back is. A cat toy?

Padding for the shoulder stock. If you flip on all the lights at once, it kicks like a mule.

I heard NASA was investigating it as a possible space drive.

Really nice cheek rest? You have to keep your face comfy while you are laying down suppressing fire...

I thought it was for hunting light-sensitive monsters. If those were all UV flashlights you wouldn't need the gun part against vampires.

Not vampires. Trolls.

I would give a Scope above x20 a penalty due to the fact that the shooters will see their own heartbeat and they have to time their shots in between.

In a competition, you wouldn't have to switch to your separate range scope to see where you hit the target but can see this through the rifle's scope. This could mean a bonus for consecutive shots because you can maintain your position and fine-tune your next shot.
