Don't forget the composure tests their companions have to make when Jimmy just sprouted a ROCKET-POWERED CHAINSAW in his chest.

I dunno. I kind of like the idea of using chainsaws as throwing weapons, myself.

Quick question about troll weapons...

On the cover of Runner Havens, we have a troll next to an elf. Troll has in his mitts a heavy pistol. The slide on the thing is as long as the elf's leg, at least. And about twice as thick. And it fits, really. Good for his size. Now, does that pistol still on do 5P? Obviously it's big enough to handle standard .50 cal pistol ammo. Hell, just from the looks of it, one shot would leave a hole in the elf's torso about the size of her... Well... Torso. If someone bucks up the cost of a meta-sized weapon, shouldn't the weapon's stats be increased? Or decreased in the case of dwarfs?

Edit: On a side note, for comparison's sake, it looks like she is also wielding heavy pistols... MUCH smaller heavy pistols. His pistol could use hers as ammunition...

Troll-specific weapons and calibers are still too niche a market for the Megas to be interested, when they can just build bigger versions of regular items and call it a day.

Of course, there's also the Panther Assault Cannon...  That's pretty much made for a Troll.

a humans Longsword is a Trolls knife.
a humans shotgun is a Trolls heavy Pistol.
a humans AR is a Trolls SMG.
a humans LMG is a Trolls AR.
It works out nice enough . .

Now I want to modify a M2HB to have a pistol grip and a foregrip for a very large Troll to carry around.

.50 BMG.  With that kind of stopping power, there is no cover, only concealment.  The difference is made to you quite plainly when that nice, safe engine block you're hiding behind suddenly has holes put through both sides.

That's the back-up weapon in case you left the M2HB too far away when you went to put out the fire by peeing on it.
