Re: Team 2108 Video!! Powerful Shooter

That Shooter is definitely sweet and well built. I don't think you'll have any mechanical issues with hitting a target from more than 25 feet away, but I think you'll have a practical problem.

In Lunacy thus far, we've seen that most scoring action from shooters and dumpers a like has been at short range. I think you'll notice that too and play a much closer shooting game than you think. I doubt you'll have any issues shooting at the sub-5ft range, if anything that turret will give you a substantial advantage. But then again, it'll be nice when you guys can bust out with a match winning Hail Mary Shot or two.

So, don't let the CD discussion get you down. I think you'll do fine out there.
