Your, best WTF moment in gaming.

[ate89]

I just wanted to start a forum allowing DM's; and maybe even players to voice there vary own, most special WTF moments. These are moments that had every one face palming at the table while one player fights with the DM about something so ridiculous, no one even has a clue as to what they should think, say, feel, or do.

Mine is with a player called Simmons; he brought a gurps Fall Out campaign to a halt over a gunsmithing argument. He wanted to create an old fashioned hand cranked Gatling gun out of old pipes from a meat hook machine used in a butcher shop. The gun was to have 6 rotating cylinders (made from the pipes) with a rusty nail used as the firing pin that was to be reset with rubber bands. The gun was to fire 50 cal HMG ammo; and I would of given it to him on a successful role. But he wouldn't budge on one tiny aspect...... He expected his contraption to be on par with an actual TL 6 HMG. I was willing to draw up a custom gun based on the Simmons's margin of success but we insisted that his gun could only do no less the 12 d6 damage per shot; just like the HMG offered in book.

We argued for an hour over weather or not the gun could even exist or not (which in all honesty it couldn't) and every time I tried to say no, and focus on the other players we would draw up different plans for his gun and hold them up to my face over the DM screen. Needless to say it didn't end well for him. Oh he built it all right, just weight until he fires it and it malfunctions hehehe.

P.S. just for argument sake he stated that the bullet does the damage and not the gun, however I believe that the bullet is dependent of the gun's engineering for it's eventual accessory and damage. Any gun nuts out there who may be able to shed light on this argument?
