        Imagine spending thousands of dollars stockpiling assault rifles and ammo for your revolution only to have your entire milita wiped out when some nerd with a $100 homemade missile blows-up the UHaul you all piled in the back of.

            Only idiots bring a gun to a drone fight. However, it is perfectly acceptable to bring your limited edition Andúril replica to finish off any boogaloos that were merely wounded. 1d8 slashing (1d10 if using it two-handed).

      Clearly it’s just a big-ass gun that shoots 5000 caliber rounds. So it’s protected by the 2nd Amendment.
