That said, I'll admit that I am a little sad that 5th edition seems to be currently missing both the Colt Manhunter and the Ruger Thunderbolt.

The Colt Manhunter makes it's return in Hard Targets, along with a long list of weapon mods.
Extended MAGAZINE is a game changer all on it's own.[spoiler](Sorry, not sorry, but I won't call them clips just to match the text, which is WRONG)[/spoiler]

We are NOT starting that discussion again!

Please! For the love of all the fuffy kitten videos on U-tube!!! Nooooo!!!!

Thanks for the hint, that was a pretty amusing read

Love the Colt Manhunter. Then again, my characters generally use throwbacks anyways, so it pretty much falls in line with what my characters use.

I'm not entirely sure why there seemed to have been so much lamenting of the lack of the Manhunter, and now so much joy it's in Hard Targets... seems a fairly average heavy pistol to me...

[MijRai]

It's an iconic weapon for the non-Predator folks.

I have always been in love with the Colt Manhunter ever since seeing the picture in the original Street Samurai's Catalogue.
I'm so happy that it's back even though the design has changed a little with a red spot scope instead of the traditional laser sight. That isn't going to stop me from tearing it off and slap a smartgun inside it though.

Fair enough, I can understand wanting an iconic weapon to return.

It's not just a fairly average heavy pistol -- it's a lifestyle!

The Manhunter does have extreme reliability on it's side - you cannot brick a firearm that has removed all the electronics common to the 2070s.

Still, I won't be going past the Lemat for style.

The Lemat, a revolver that finally makes me question myself about carrying a Warhawk, I am so looking forward to taking the Lemat out for a test drive....

Why not just pop flechette rounds in your Warhawk for 11P(f), AP +3

[Rift_0f_Bladz]

Mostly because you would either need the selective ammo mod for actual quick ammo change (Warhawk) or you can have a fully loaded heavy pistol with your favorite ammo and a single shot shotgun in one gun. That is hard to beat.

For my character, it just has that mix of old world innovation and new world tech that appeals to her.

What am I hearing? The Manhunter returned?!

HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD!!!

As for the reasons for which it was missed so much, I would like to add mine to the list: MOST of the people I know (I'm looking at YOU, pink mohawk elven gunslinger adept) will use it with a SUPPRESSOR. That should roughly double Manhunter's length. Can you imagine attaching a suppressor to Predator's longer barrel? It's physically impossible to conceal the damn thing without a coat. Even then, trying to pull something that size out of the holster should be a serious pain in the hoop. It's like bringing a Barrett for a trip through the HVAC shafts. Plus, it just looks plain ridiculous.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have an old friendship to renew.
