They're goddamn close now, the disks hurt like a bitch at top speed. Glad to see that I can fit up to 7 discs in there! However, I might just do 6, since I have a problem with odd number ammo amounts. *ocd*

Revolvers are more my style. Hence my love of the Maverick.

I threw a bayonet on the end of my Maverick and it's definitely one of my better ideas.

Yeah, I've been shot in the head with them several times. I also share your problem with odd numbers.

Thus why I both love and hate the Specter. I think it's great, but...five...shots....not...even!

Hey, five is that unique odd number that feels like an even number! Don't talk about 5 like that!

Even numbers aren't good in all situations. For example, both Bryan Lee O' Malley and Edgar Wright agree that 7 was the best number for an amount of evil exes.

Never even bothered with the specter. It's like the Maverick and the Recon had a bastard child, and it somehow lost a shot. The only odd-number ammo amounts I can deal with is 25 and 35, as with the Vulcan and the Raider.

Eh, well, it seems like it'd just be crappy, but I find it to be preferable to the Maverick. The maverick's barrel rotation is trigger-based, but that always ends up leading to a super loose mechanism that doesn't always perfectly align the drum with the rest of the gun. The Specter's drum rotates when you cock it, and it pretty much always lines up perfectly. Also, the one less shot thing makes it just a little bit more slim, which means it's easier to make a holster for, since the maverick can be a bit difficult when it comes to holster construction.

Also, the extended barrel looks cool on my Deploy, and the folding stock works nicely with my Alpha Trooper.

It would have been an even number if they were good exes.

Went to another Toy Con, where there are a whole bunch of used collectable dealers: This time I picked up:

Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes for $10 (Great deal, The Twin Snakes alone is impossible to find for under $35, and rare as shit besides)

and also a Gladiator Minifig from Series 5 , and then a KK1 Minifig with Samurai Legs and a black Samurai Helmet. ($7 in total)
