That said, no, you can't hide the full-length shotgun under a trenchcoat.  Nor the Katana.  I don't care how many times they've done it in Highlander.

Perhaps not using strict 'realism', but when someone is trying that, it is more than likely because they like those movies and think it's cool. Personally, I'm not gonna deny them on something so very, very minor.

I go with the "Blade" motif.  The handle is sticking out of the top.  ;D  Still badass, but still credible.

Also, a Victorinox smart-weapon fits neatly in a coat pocket when not in use.

As a GM I'd even allow them to mod it so it defaults to a disguised, "bracer" type shape if they want to pay for an Electronic Easy Breakdown mod. Maybe throw in a concealment bonus and/or a quick-draw bonus.

I've allowed the Highlander "sword-in-ridiculously short coat" power as a cheap adept power.

Of course, that same char got the "tingle" when other adepts were around. Used it to drive him fairly insane.

Now that I'd allow.  ;D
