The best part about all of this are the grenades. My favorite weapon for use by my cast protranser on PSP was the grenade launcher (after the axe, of course), and it makes more sense for a launcher to be more like an actual howitzer or something like that, since before it was more like a mortar. But that pizza thing is just plain silly.
