When your guys are stronger, I like to carry a main weapon, and a
shoret-range heave damage weapon for when I raid space ships (you
generally fight close range in those).  THere's a gun called a
JAckhammer (IIRC) which does something like 1440 dmagae on burst, but
only has a range of 6 metres or so.

I also like the flame thrower.

I keep meening to give someone a grenade launcher, but keep
forgetting...

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes !
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses !
And what's with all the carrots ?  
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway ?
Bunnies !  Bunnies !  It must be BUNNIES !
