Description: The 'Big Gun' was made by an ancestor of Xavier Mgoo, an antique entheusist, and passed down generation by generation. It requires the use of round more or less useless slugs, as well as primitive gunpowder or black powder. The use is much like an ancient musket; you must first clean the excess powder, then place in the ammo, then make sure the ammo is securely in the weapon, then fire. Rinse wash and repeat. It takes a few minutes for Xavier to reload the weapon, but a more skilled soldier could probably handle it in about thirty seconds. The weapon is also comically large, which makes it all the more heavier, and harder to aim. It does shoot pretty far, once you fire it, though. It should be noted, that since it fires rounded slugs or similer objects rather then actual pointed slug bullets, even if you are an expert shot, iaming is very, very, very hard. The accuracy on the weapon is extremely low, only hitting a target about one in five times with a good marksman. Once it gets in the target though, since the rounded slug tends to spiral in the air, it can do some decent damage...

A really well done sub. I only have a few issues to clarify before I send it off to approval land. Firstl, you mention it's comically large, but in actuality it's pretty light. An E-11 would be about 4 kg in weight and .4-.5ishm long. While this is a longer rifle(though not excessively so) it's pretty light for it's size. Secondly, the effective range on most blunderbusses is around 15m, I'd prefer the range to be more along those lines.
 
I fixed the range. What do you suggest for the weight? And it's comically large for Xavier, who is 4'1, if for no one else. :p

Edit: Also made it bigger, to emphisize the comical size when Xavier uses it. And thanks for the compliment, btw. :)
