    i was hopefull they would make a working version of the magazine fed semi automatic crossbow with interchange able ammo types (HE/AP/steal) just for kicks and epic silent death moments ( i watched too much rambo)

    or something along the lines of Topics: Halo Plasma Rifle but real cos toys are no good ><
    just because i'm paranoid doesnt mean i'm wrong!

    and yes i have dyslexia and i fail a lot at using grammer, by all means feel free to point this out i wont care and it wont change anything (and if i dont respond its cos you have added nothing ot the value of hte discussion by doing so)
