Proposal: Duel-Wielded Bazookas… Not.

High Command respects the (ambi)dexterity of their armed forces, and disapprove of rumours in the ranks that a weapon could be too great to be held with a single hand, limb or other appendage. As a result, this proposed limit on the dual-wielding of high-ordinance weaponry has been refused and the people responsible reprimanded for their lack of faith.

Reporting, Devenger.

Append the following to Rule, “Weapons”:

Some Weapons are Two-Handed. Unless otherwise stated, Weapons that are not Two-Handed are One-Handed. If under any circumstance a Two-Handed Weapon is carried at the same time as another Weapon, the Soldier carrying them shall immediately Lose both Weapons.

A Weapon that is Lost shall be removed from the holster of any Soldier carrying it. A Lost Weapon shall not be carried by any Soldier, but still counts against the Weapon’s availability as if it were.

A Soldier not carrying any Weapons has Both Hands Free. A Soldier carrying a single One-Handed Weapon has One Hand Free.

Two-Handed Weapons, Lost Weapons, and some Hands Free hooks for Stunt prerequisites.

against Makes it too easy to get rid of weapons, punishing those of us who strategically chose not to take a service revolver or two.

against It also requires us to remember which weapons have been Lost, without explicitly writing this down anywhere.

against no lost weapon tracking, and only the one-handed weapon should be lost.

I may re-propose this without the Fumble/Lost Weapons bit.

against CoV to see how much more collateral damage amni’s grenades can cause…
