You can ofcourse buy a bunch of bust a move with target software and get them a cheap pistol with SA and personalized grip.
Bust a moves have been"exploited" quite abundantly, nevertheless I like some of the ideas :)

Bust-a-Move's are Body 1 Minidrones. You can't put most of those mods on them. Missile Defense System, Weapon Mount, Oil Slick Sprayer, Pimped Ride, etc, all cannot go on Bust-a-Move's.

Ejection seats? What could possibly be driving it? A fly?

Oh. Then Chummer doesn't disallow mods? Crud. All I know is they have 4 mod slots according to Chummer, so the guy making the character used them. I looked it over, and had to share.

As for what is in the Ejection Seat, its the Zapper Strip. And the seat ejects in the direction the drone is facing, from just below the abdomen.

I know they break the rules but there's something quite hilarious to me about a teddy bear opening up its mouth and shooting down a missile with a water cannon.

And the zapper ejection seat combo, I mean, that's inspired.
