Saw down the barrel of a lever action, saw the shoulder brace down to a pistol grip, and boom:  Mare's Leg!

Yeah! Now give us rules for that :-))

Actually, CanRay, I was talking about this, not a mare's leg:

Yeah, the Volcanic is a nice piece of history, but just was never practical as a design.  There is a reason it went from Volcanic to Henry to Winchester.

Yes, but this is also Shadowrun, where not everything is necessarily practical. While the Volcanic might not have been practical,
it WAS cool! And Cool Looking.

I thought that this was Shadowrun, where doing the impractical is the quickest way to get yourself killed.

Where having fun is more important than your character's survival =)

Not everyone plays Black Trenchcoat, sir. Especially with an edition that has gone back to favouring the
Pink Mohawk style of play.

What is the Ares AR w/grenade launcher - Is that the Ares Alpha? Is it in one of the Gun haven books?

The Ares Alpha is an AR with grenade launcher. Highest damage, highest accuracy, highest inherent RC that does not come from accessories/modifications, plus grenade launcher. All that makes it the AR of choice usually.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

Despite the fact that it is Forbidden, interestingly.

Is there any art depiction of the Ares Alpha somewhere?

That implication wounds me, 8P.

Must we be divided into two different tribes?  We're both Shadowrun fans and I really think there is room in the canon for Shadowrun at it's brighest dayglo pink neon as well as Shadowrun at it's clever sneakiest.  I honestly don't think that those are two different things at all, that's what makes Shadowrun what it is.  Sheerly from the point of view of how Shadowrun has tended to work generally though, my overstatement in jest earlier holds more or less true, no matter if you're charging headlong into BTL chipping go-gangers in the Barrens or Red Samurai on Ares territory, I feel like it is safe to say that impracticality is how runners end up dead and in jail in all of the wonderful editions of our beloved SR.

Getting yourself killed is considered Niche lately ;)
