Yeah, but did you notice the feedback comments they got from the wet liberals? Oh, why, oh, why, do we need a new gun?

Phooey

There have been successive press releases and magazine articles on this gimmick for the past year or two. Popular Science even had an artist's conception of a pistol with several barrels, each with several stacked loads. Nobody mentions the small detail of how you go about reloading. A spare charged barrel bundle is going to be kind of bulky to carry and slow to mount. Expensive, too. But of course we commoners probably won't be allowed to own one, and the authorized personnel will get to practice on our taxes. For ship defense, I guess the question of a reload can wait until after you have survived the first Vampire alert.
