I cast "bust a cap".

There is a game called "trigger witch" that is based entirely on this concept

There's an animated movie from the 70s I think called "Wizard". This post reminded me of the end of the movie, 😆

You would not part an old man from his walking stick

Ooh, even better. Ash is always the answer, good one, friend.

If Middle Earth had guns, Gandalf definitely would have carried an AK instead of a stick.

Tolkein fought in WW1, it's no wonder he romanticized a time when wars were fought with swords. His war was a meat grinder over literal inches. Just waved of bullets and bombs that killed indiscriminately.

So he built a world where combat was about skill and one highly trained and motivated person could beat 100 enemies face to face

The people in WW1 with the highest kill counts were the ones that spent 12 hours a day loading shells into artillery miles from the fighting.

Wait untill you see my America enchanted gauntlet.

Yeah this was an actual real thing developed by the OSS during WW2, primarily for assasinations, the Sedgley Glove Gun.

One side is a plunger trigger, the other side is a one shot .38 cal gun.

... It pretty much just is a glove with a gun duct taped to it, it was used in Inglorious Basterds, and also real life, it literally is just punch someone in the head and also shoot them in the head at the same time.

Also, I have actually played in a TTRPG campaign, with this.

Not DnD, but a custom made Delta Green campaign.

Something like this works pretty easily in its standard ruleset, our setting was the 1960s, my character was an OSS->CIA analyst who'd kept this glove gun as a momento from a field agent ... Delta Green has a whole sanity mechanic that involves people and things your character holds dear, that tether them to reality... this was one of them, for my character.

Just watched it last weekend. Amazing style but a little boring and confusing

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

That's Ralph Bakshi

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

What the hell I need to watch this

[–] audaxdreik@pawb.social 4 points 14 hours ago

Oh yes, it's a trip. I wish I could say it's good, but well, it's interesting?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

That gets sampled in the song All Paladins Are Bastards

Tape over the slide will impede the action cycling. Also needs a stendo and a switch, to up the DPS of course.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I mean yes, but also, most (all?) glocks eject to the right, so.... thats another problem here, the staff iself is gonna block case ejection, even if the action could cycle, in the depicted configuration.

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

True enough! A stick with a Y in it just under the trigger guard would be the ticket. Also just laughing at the idea that you smack the end of the staff on the ground to shoot.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 hours ago

LOL, a new take on the phrase 'boom stick'.

Yeah this here's my America enchanted staff... she's a slam-fire.
