It looks like an electric toothbrush, and it's smaller than a pistol.

I still don't get why it's a "rifle"


RIFLE: noun: a shoulder firearm with a long barrel and a rifled bore

*Hehe - Tries to recall last time I held my T21, E11, Laser Rifle, or SG82 up to my shoulder, and wonders where the rifled bore is on anything other than the Tusken, which wrongly uses energy damage*


Don't get me wrong. Your point is valid, but does it really matter? If it bothers you, try thinking in terms of rifle class specialsinstead ofrifle weapons. That is, it is just a weapon capable of using Rifle specials, but it is not really a rifle.

Right now as an energy based weapon, it uses a magnetic field generator to generate a long "rifle" barrel, thus making it shoot like a rifle, though much lighter. This gives it a more limited range than a true rifle.

I made all that up, but hey! A turtle! *points*

*runs away*

Whenever a viscious MOB gets close to me, I whip out my SprayStarch and shoot them in the eyes. This blinds them temporarily and makes their collared shirts look fabulous. ...pardon? ... what?... SpraySTICK?


...oh... never mind.

I always wondered why a spraystick was a rifle, but I'm glad it is as I always find myself using it once the mob notices me.

LOL yeah I remember the first spraystick I made on sunrunner ... equiped it and thought it was invisible until I noticed the little thing in my hand. Always wondered if it was just a scaling error and they were supposed to be larger. *shrug*


Looks like a pistol, acts like a pistol, range of a pistol ...it must be a ...rifle.
