Hehehe I know but there are times in your GM life where there only are Munchkins to get playing T2k. But a warning sign for that you have a munchkin in you group can be that you have a "normal" weapon pack is that it as follows :
M3 Carl Gustaf attached to a M214 with three laser forming the predator three sign and four sights fired either from the hip or the shoulder and said from the munchkin "It can be done"

Default small gun

and of course -that is his small gun..

We always debate and bicker about munchkinosis in our group.Mostly it goes well ,but sometimes the antimaterial rifles come out ..I had one PC use one .I said it had a 4 feet muzzle flash .It was night .He continued firing .The enemy taken casualties concentrated their fire on the area of the flash.

He took a .50 bmg to one arm and could not be found by medics in the dark.PC bled to death.

Not so many carrying the antimaterial rifle as primary weapon now..

A fine balance to keep up interest and still make a little realism...

The best with munchkins are that mostly lack all kind of social skills so if you blend in some social duality for example that NPCs lye every 2nd turn they munchkins are lost in a maze of cat and mouse of where to go and who to thrust. The best part is that if you can keep smiling you can really turn the munchkins head into some paranoid version of Kafka like game.

Have you ever used the Barret .50? I had one in Iraq and the muzzle flash is not that bad, the report off of it is a different story, it was blowing holes in the house we were shooting out of, makeing the mouse hole in to a much bigger one.

My choice would be the Mossburg 590A1 with eight round tube, eight round side saddle and four round speed feed stock (twenty total). TacLight and bayonet lug. We have a couple of them at work and thought of much better than our 870 most officers get.

the 590A1 is a pretty tough pump gun. After years of being a gunsmith I think the 590 has less parts breakage and is easier to repair than the Remington 870.

I don't like side saddles very much, but the speed feed is a great idea (especially for law enforcement)

The Bayonet lug is a feature that I truly gravitate towards, make more sense to me on shotgun than on a rifle.

Id have to get an long bladed Eickhorn bayonet like the isreali's bought for the Galil.
