Last time I tried to mount a retrofitted musket on a transformed human, I had... well, an issue.
I over-retrofitted the musket, measured the size incorrectly, and gave it too much power. As you can imagine, it was a failure, and a pricey one, at that. I don't have the money to get another Armored Sentinel for the transformation.
If you could bring me one, I'll give you this Oz-style retrofitted musket. Sweet deal, right?
Scientific research requires leaps of creativity. Limiting yourself and thinking conventionally won't get you far.
But the scientific community seems to think I'm too creative. Hah!
I don't care to conduct research with that group of fuddy-duddies, anyway. They'll never understand a genius like me.
