** Simo is being missed with apparent sniper rifles firing single shots but hitting with a side arm. This is actually because he is using a HandCannon which is literally a short barreled rifle with a pistol grip, firing match-grade ammunition with while being shot at with essentially zipguns firing sculpted into the shape externally while still using lengths of copper pipe.
