Okay, admittedly, I'm knackered and not really thinking this through, but
can someone please explain the logic behind this;

your gun, the answer is yes.

Okay, so you keep loosing ammo, just like the originals.  That's not
something I was particularly fond of, especially when I'd accumulated half a
dozen semi used clips.  Is there any intention of including a...dammit,
what's the word... amalgamating these used clips to form complete ones.
Similar to JA2, I guess?  Say yes, just this once...

Are we going to see multiple ammo type weapons, as in the originals?  Can we
change between HE and IN and not keep loosing the semi spent rounds?  Okay,
so I want you to say yes twice... <g>  Please, pretty please include
something like the Gas Cannon from TFTD or even the HydroJet Cannon, though
can work on land.  (on knees and begging mode on)

Wahey! <g>  So, did any of our suggestions get taken on board?  I know
things didn't exactly go according to plan here on agx, but is anyone going
to tell us? <shrugs>

Anyway, fair play to both Will & Cyke.  Thanks for the update guys.
