Works well if you have a pacifist.

I miss the NarcoJet pistol.  The Parashield Dart Pistol just isn't the same.   :'(

Ah, the Narcojet Pistol - I remember it fondly - the players wanting their characters to have it, and then the opposition being able to negate it - good times were had by all!

While the Ares Predator IV is indeed a very keen weapon, my old school samurai likes his twin custom M1911 variants. Still deadly enough to ruin most peoples day. And yes, He Likes Chow Yun Fat Films :)

John Woo actually hates the M1911, thinks it's ugly.  He prefers the M92 for it's lines.

And John Woo can eat my .45 cal rounds from my Robocop Predator.

Having access to Ares Technology isn't so bad, being in a room that's connected to the 'trix with holographic display throughout the whole room isn't bad either. Food, drinks whenever you want it. Over all not bad, but being unable to leave and with a Female Dragon? No Thanks! ~The Captive Man

John Woo is allowed his own taste in iron. But for cheap but decent firepower, kinda hard to beat in SR

It's pretty much the same thing.  The big difference is the .45 acp has less balistic pressure compared to the 10mm.

Actually, if ve vere to be completely accurate, ze Auto-9 from Robocop, vhich by proxy became za much beloved Ares Predator 1, vas a heavily modified Beretta 92R, chambered in 9mm.

*puff-puff*

Eazer vay, ja, John Voo can take a .45 in ze face at least for for all zose schtupid doves.

hehehe. On a personal note, I paraphrase one of the US Marines rules of gunfighting: never use a caliber that dosen't have at least a "4" as the first number I prefer .45 ACP, 230 grain JHP when on duty. When I shoot something, I want it to go down without having to empty my weapon. I also aspire to that in SR. I have yet to use a character who used a light pistol, unless I picked one up off a corpse. *shrugs* I like big bang-bangs.
