Q & A Weapon of Choice?

[Zack]

Signature weapons? Favourite gun? Does your character prefer to use their brain instead of their brawn?

Let's know what your character's weapon of choice is when a situation gets rough.

 

[Ororo Munroe]

Hello everyone. What an interesting question, Zack. Well...when my mutant powers fail me...which thankfully, is not often...I fall back on the fighting skills I learned when I became part of a gang of thieves and pickpockets as an orphan child growing up on the streets of Cairo. Yes...at one time, I was the kind of person that all of you...my new friends at ACME...might have arrested. I am also good with handguns and knives, which I have used before...but in self-defense only.

But eventually, I met and joined the X-Men, and it changed my life for the better. It gave me a greater purpose, a way to use my natural gifts, and people that I consider family.

I still practice my fighting skills whenever I am able to...but now..it's just for fun...and good physical fitness.

 

[Julie Justice]

Well...I like to think my intelligence is my best asset. It's amazing to me how I can remember many different obscure facts that I have learned many years ago...and how helpful these things are in the this job. But my short-term memory is not as good...so I have to take extensive notes, to learn and remember things. So I can learn things quickly, if I need to, and adapt to many situations.

I have never had any formal lessons in any kind of fighting or self-defense, but I'm not afraid to try to learn. I may not seem very big, or athletic, but I am not weak, either. And I certainly do have that "fighting spirit" at times, which I blame on my inner Irishness.

But, looking @Ororo Munroe's comment, I think that maybe the next time I am in fight, I will just call her instead. Hahahaha.

 

[Ororo Munroe]

Hello Julie. I will be happy to help you whenever I am able, in any way that you need. But if you really do have that "fighting spirit" which you attribute to your "inner Irishness" then you probably do not need my help. You are obviously very resourceful.

 

[Julie Justice]

Thanks, Ororo.

 

[Nace Bilby]

Nace's weapons of choice are a 9mm Browning HiPower pistol and a Bulgarian Makarov pistol for a secondary pistol. As far as rifles are concerned he has a .303 No. 4 Enfield Rifle which he retains an affinity for owing to the fact that he was taught to fire heavy barreled .303 caliber rifles from boyhood. As far as more modern rifles are concerned he has a semi-automatic Saiga .308, customized with a pistol grip and 3-9x variable power telescopic sights.

 

[Chase]

I have this pen I really like... tactical pen, not necessarily a weapon. It has a magnesium alloy body, razor-sharp iridium nib, and can withstand force of up to 750 PSI. It's lethal in the right hands... and performs great with Midnight Black ferro ink.

 

[Julie Justice]

And here, I always thought the pen was was mightier than the sword. But now, I guess they're equal. I hope I never have to borrow your pen. Haha.

 

[Lucy]

because of my short stature I like to blend in with my surroundings, until I assess the situation and the person I'm chasing. Then when I figure out the workings of the person I'm chasing, I use my brain to outsmart them.

 

[Ennai]

Ennai would rather avoid fighting, despite the rush she gets from it. She's aware that anything can happen in a fight and that they're best avoided. Despite relying predominantly on analysis and short term strategy to get by and avoid conflict, Ennai tends to be reactive. She finds long term plans good in a broader sense, but foolish to cling to strictly due to the probability of unforseen variables. Preparation and planning is the key to her success in basically staying alive at all, but so is not betting on the surety of anything.

Ennai really likes knives, but often prefers guns in more volitile environments, because a knife doesn't beat a quick draw. She was once really fond of the practicality of sniper rifles, at a much, much younger age. The thought of them now fills her with an overwhelming sense of nausea. If it comes to a fight, Ennai will strongly try to adhere to hand-to-hand combat unless backed into a corner.

I can imagine her and the Retro-version of Nace having quite the discussion on this subject.

 

[Julie Justice]

Yes, I can, too, Nace.
