Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT 3361-3365 - 28 November - 2 December 2016
TheEvilDog:
Panel 1: "Oh joy, the garbage lady is going all out."
Panel 2: "Did I leave the induction dermal heating unit on?"
Panel 3: "What the...."
Panel 4: "I can not believe I once thought I could be a classy person."
jheartney:
The other EMP-related question is even if they have a way to aim it, you still have to generate a shit-ton of energy to make it happen. The implied energy-density you'd need in something the size of that silly popgun-pistol suggests that QC tech can make batteries that last for years at high discharge, and which never need charging. Have to wonder why Bubbles ever bothers recharging.
In-comic, Roko's pistol is tiny and the the opposite of menacing, at least to look at. Her hyper-aggressive stance suggests someone desperately trying to be intimidating (think of a kitten arching its back); the rest of them look suitably unimpressed, (maybe except May). Roko seems destined for continual humiliation, like the Thompsons in Tintin, or a robotic version of Barney Fife.

There is a full explanation here.

You took the words out of my mouth.

... do you want them back?

--- Quote from: Mr_Rose on 30 Nov 2016, 00:26 ---No? Why would you want your thumb in the way of the slide where it will get broken the first time you pull the trigger?
--- End quote ---
Um... No. I wasn't even suggesting that. Not on the back of the gun on the other side of the body, around the other side of the handgrip like any creature with an opposable thumb would hold something.
--- End quote ---
No, having the thumb and fingers on the same side of the grip is a pretty standard way to hold a pistol with two hands for the reason stated above.
As to why with a pistol that doesn't have a slide, I'd imagine they train on conventional service pistols too, so why learn bad practices if you transition back and forth?
