Re: [HOE] Junker device help WAS: Lost in Space Armor (Was: Some questions)

The problem I see with this type of weapon is that it would almost need to
have the powers installed directly into each bullet, which would make for some
rather large bullets. not to mention that you would have to build each bullet
separately, and when dealing with the gun spirits, that's a very bad thing!
