				| I love it when players do something outrageous like that. Of course it won't be an effective weapon, but it might deal with a specific situation and it's a lot of fun. _________________

				| For that one big bad guy that runs around using a TIE's viewport assembly as a personal shield. True story. _________________

				| My Esoomian character has actually done something much like that. _________________

				| Awesome! 
 I think my character did more to 'challenge' the Gm than any other character...
 
 On the other side of the coin my character had the largest Imperial bounty too.

				| OK, here's a question about your experiences with encumbrances: 
 Have you ever carried an E-web around firing from the hip as another PC follows you around with the power generator?
 
 I've never done this but I can see this being done especially with more PCs helping to carry the weapons.

				| While i have not done it, i did see it as a fellow player..  I tried to explain to them it would be like trying to haul around a 50 cl machinegun.. but they wanted to do it anyway..  One was a Rodian (the one with the weapon) and 2 were ewoks hauling the power supply around.. _________________

 My Esoomian character eventually got a verpine player to modify an E-Web so it could be used as a blaster carbine for someone over 3 metres in height. It was powered by 15 standard blaster rifle clips and would have been a pig to reload but he never actually got to fire it so I don't know how well it worked.
 
 Strangely any situation that looked like it might turn to combat was almost instantly defused when the 3.5 metre Esoomian whips out his E-web and brandishes it like a rifle... Well that and the fact that the gun spent most of the time locked up on the ship because it was illegal and we were usually going for a more covert feel.

				| OK, have to ask, how is a 3.5 metre Esoomian covert in any way, shape, or form? |  |

				| Yes Tantor is an Esoomian and my GM extrapolated stats from Tantor's stats to create a workable Esoomian species. 
 Esoomians can be covert if they're in disguse. My characters most successful disguise was that of a herd animal (similar to a bantha). Of course he couldn't talk or act intelligent without ruining the illusion so it wasn't fun for him but people had no problem thinking that a creature his size was just another non-sapient pack animal.

				| Sounds like Stoow a wharl force user who a player of mine cam up with. He ussually disguises as a beast of burden. _________________

				| The closest I have gone to using an E-Web without taking the time to set up the supports is when another player acts as the tripod.    However I based that after what people can do in real life.      While you could probably fire an E-Web from the hip if you where really big and really strong, you probably couldn't hit anything with it.   Or at least have some hefty negatives.     Of course I have plenty of friends who fired large caliber guns that where set up for it in the army from the hip but those where all automatic with a hire rate of fire. |  |
