I honestly have never seen a weapon in a RPG that is as funny to me as GUN:GUN.

A gun that does not exist, cannot exist under the laws of physics and probably exists on some sort of meta level where it gets to hack the actual rulebook you play with.

It does exactly one point of damage. Each round. Every round. There are no defence against it. It has future-proofed itself to ensure that there will never BE any defences against it. It doesn't even count as an attack.

It will simply plink away at someone for one HP every turn and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it except try and kill the mech carrying it.


Oh yeah and it's heavily implied to be sentient.

This is the text for another weapon on the same frame - the Mimic Gun. The Pegasus' whole concept is that it is the ontological, meta-narrative concept of gun forced into a physical shape by a bunch of catgirl transhuman hackers.

The "This is not a gun" at the end is the chilling bit for me.

It's also relevant to note that the action you take to force the Mimic Gun to reroll its stats is "PROVOKE." No explanation whatsoever is given as to why this word in particular was chosen.

I like to imagine you whisper to the Mimic Gun that you think one of the other mechs has a bigger Gun.

And it gets SO MAD at that

fav halflight lancer ttrpg seriously the pegasus is my favorite mech in lancer but only by a small margin bc all the horus mechs are fucking great just look at the lich or the gorgon or the fucking manticore speaking of transhumanist catgirl hackers thats what halflight is lmao
