 The two people in group who guns the most are the sneak who is almost an 
assasin and the gunner. The sneak trys to hide in combat and figures shooting 
at people from a distance keeps him out of harms way. The gunner well it's a 
gunner so they are shooting the hell out of things with desert eagles. The 
guide made them come up with a hell of a reason and made it be a point of gear.
I ussualy have my colt 2000 but have yet to acutally draw it. The only time I 
draw it. I did draw my shotgun last game when some primers were approaching 
the door I was hiding behind. A distraction came so I was able to go in fist 
wailing.
