Author's notes

TRANSFORM YOUR WEAPON INTO A .50 CAL DEATHRAY CAPABLE OF REDUCING ENEMIES TO DUST IN 3 SHOTS. Doorman is the only character capable of buying all weapon items and still retaining the full functionality of his kit, Gunman lives on this premise. The Gunman revolution is HOOPLA! and it is now.
