The tripod kind of subverts the concept of a *hand*gun, you know.

As God is my witness, I am not attempting to deny this man his right (well, it’d be his right in the USA) to own and operate an absurdly large hand-cannon that looks like that it came out of a Western-themed MMORPG, and that apparently requires a tripod in order to get at least the first shot off in a reasonably accurate fashion. I am not.  But I am sorry: that gun is kind of silly*.  It is my fond hope that the owner finds it just as silly, and is in fact only firing it in an ironic, post-modern sort of way.

Yes.  Hipster gun owners.  The mind reels at the thought…

*I suspect that it also resembles the Demon Hand-Gun found in most gun-grabbers’ fevered nightmares.  Only it’s not as large.

  1. I swear I saw that “pistol” in Fallout: New Vegas. The Ranger Sequoia, I believe.

    Maybe not THAT big, but it looks the same.

  2. Are rampaging bull elephants a big problem in Kharkov?

    ‘Cuz, honestly, I’m not sure I see the point…

  5. “I’m not sure I see the point…”

    Because he can and that’s all the reason a man needs. Get mountains climbed, ditches dug, canals built, businesses created, crimes committed, rights violated… er, I’ll stop there.
