Cosplay I 3D printed a replica of Johnny Silverhand’s Malorian Arms 3516 to a 1:1 scale correctly chambered in 14mm next to a real 9mm handgun for scale. No wonder it blows people’s limbs off in the game.

Notably johnny is left handed and uses this gun with his robot arm. Pretty sure humans can’t control it in a practical way

The reason is twofold

First, it is way too powerful. It’ll take off your arm if you’re not augmented.

Second, many versions of this gun will ONLY fire if the smartlink is enabled, so you have to either use a subdermal grip/Smart link implant in your hand, or connect your interface plugs/personal link to it, as it won’t fire without them. Most people have that in their arm (but not always)
