no, we need better armor and guns, i want minigun bozar!
Bullshit, what we need is gauss minigun !
More seriously: I don't understand those who want to remove very powerful item, as long they are (really) rare, not obtainable easily and don't make you invincible. I mean, very powerful item, like gauss pistol, give back this particular taste to the games once you've got what you need. It's not just another BA, annoying to get but not so hard finally. It's something having a real value because of his power, and because it is
rare. It really add something. Add a APA in the game: when someone take a town with it, you don't come for the town. You come for the APA. You will be really, really happy and proud if you get it, you will really rage if you loose it. And in both case, you will want to fight again with it or for it !
