The Revolver has a remarkable charm to it.. especially when you edit the sound effect to give it a bigger kick.

This is a nice metric server. No imperial dimensions, please.

Or change it over to a Desert Eagle... (I love the DE)

Don't insult me. I have trained professionals to do that.

Most beautiful handgun in the world.

But what makes it awesome is that it becomes compatible with organic matter that way.

 

I don't think mass manipulation is a matter of compatibility, organisms are made of molecules just like crates, barrels, etc. The only reason you can not grab smaller enemies with the "orange" gravity gun is due to gameplay reasons; that ability would vastly overpower it. The supercharged gravity gun is a nifty idea that gives people a chance to do exactly what they dreamt about ever since first getting the weapon.

Good point, and I agree, definitely.

I'm such a magnum nut, I feel like a badass straight out of a sci-fi western when I hold that thing.

 

magnums have always been a favorite of mine, I'm not a huge gun nut (I'm a knife fan.) but I'll go shooting a magnum any day.

You should call yourself Dirty Hamburglar.

I could roll with that nickname.

Its strange, but I like grenades most. I dont know why, but the red light trail that it leaves when thrown remids me of that first time i played hl2. I also love pheropods (the antlion thingy), because I like that you can control anlions and you dont even have to use your weapons in some fights

I am actually surprised that the RPG has no votes, lol. It might be my third choice(second being the Magnum).

My first choice is the shotgun. Headshots + Sprinting can be an effective way to end fights, especially with the second barrel option. I'll also usually avoid reloading maunually so I can get the pump at the end of the reload. It makes me feel badass.

 

Then the magnum. The spin on the end of the reload makes it cool.

Yes, it does. Dirty Gordon strikes hard with magnum force.

Yeah, since you can actually skip it it is completely useless. But it feels so good to do it.

Love me some pump-action
