Re: Shooters vs Arms

Still couldn't lift the combined weight. Given the fact that our team doesn't have much to work with, we changed strategy.

Shooters have their advantages, and so do arms. They both have their cons. Just depends on what you want to do, really.
That isn't a flaw against arms at all...

973 has an arm, and at only 2/3 power it easily lifted a 130 pound freshmen.
