HA! hilarious analogy, and so true. Personally i really dont like the conversion. I had similar issues when i was trying to add a hand held rail gun to one of my Crisis suits. I cut the bulk of the gun away and simply shortend it (i also added a handle) then put the broadside vents above and below. http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/whsa/wip/rgtrifle1.jpg
