'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end.
Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. I haven't actually found one yet, but earlier today I did come across Dr. What about this "Unnatural Selector - ray blunderbuss. " What about a 17 inch F.M.O.M. ...or what about the "Righteous Bison Indivisible Particle Smasher? ". Follow: 42Concepts. Steampunk Costume Creator.
