Darn. That means my trick wouldn't have worked. I have an NPC reforming
Black Hat in the group (along with a templar, it's a small group). She was
fighting a Walkin' Dead, but isn't good at hand to hand. In a moment of
cinematic inspiration I told the templar player that he hears her yell,
"Fine! You want it so much, then TAKE IT!!!" Followed a few seconds later
by an explosion. 
They had been fighting over her pistol and she let it have it and then it
blew when he tried to use it. Oh well, it could have been a Mark II, I
suppose.
