He doesn't like M4s/M16s. He's already made an XM8, it's just private.
Sawn-offs do have more recoil and shorter range. So? They weigh less and are easier to carry. Plus they look badass.
I just remembered something pretty cool that might work in place of a revolver
.357 Marushin Cop. 4 shots, revolver style loading. I figure it could be fast shooting, medium power, and high accuracy, balanced off by only 4 shots before a revolver speed reload. Of course that's Grav's choice.
WHo doesn't like M4's or M16's? Atleast they don't melt in your hands when firing.
Sawn off's suck, so what if they are lighter, you might as well carry a knife if you want something of that close range and there is no recoil. Who cares if they look "bad-ass" I would rather have something that works rather than something that sucks.
I'm guessing most of you have never fired a gun, so let me tell you something. Even HANDGUNS, have a lot of recoil. It takes a while to empty a whole mag, because you have to line up your sights then pull the trigger, then you get situated again and repeat, and while your doing that you have to watch your surroundings (not when your lining up your sights but when you are getting ready) and make sure your grip on the gun isn't too tight. I thought the Colt 1911 .45 had a bit to much recoil for my liking, so imagine trying to fire a sawn off SHOTGUN (pretty much a Double Barrel shotgun which has enough recoil imo with a shorter barrel, and no stock) I know I'm going more realistic, but still.
