E-gad! We'll wait for you two. For about two weeks at the most. Then I'm sending PMs to everybody still here to renew interest. And brutally murdering your characte- I mean, kidnapping your toons. Yeah. That's what I meant.
And nah, doesn't turn into a trident. I'm thinking it'll just collapse into the more sword-looking part, (Second to the left) for carrying, and the LMG will have its barrel on the side. Or maybe in the middle, so that every round gets cut in half to deliver two wounds for the price of one! Clip would likely be dust-based instead of physical-round to avoid needing room for a large clip, instead simply placing a dust-battery in the base of the sword-length hilt... Which extends to a full-length haft for spear use.
I've thought about this too much.
