Talk:Auto-Cannon

Since it's part of an alien soldier, perhaps the Centurion is a cyborg, with implanted hardware. He'd have to be, really, I can't see how you could make a gun out of anything organic, it wouldn't be able to take the pressure and heat of the explosion that propels bullets.

Anyway... So maybe the gun is grafted on, and it's triggers (primary and secondary) are attached to some of Centurion's tendons. Perhaps ones that previously controlled fingers on it's left hand. So he'd just have to move his "finger", now missing, to pull the trigger. Trigger finger!

Anyway when Tommy finds it, after he pulls off the extraneous flesh, he notices 2 important looking levers with the remains of a tendon attached to each. He gently pulls one, hears the click, and figures out what's going on. Then maybe he test-fires it and laughs, but we didn't see that bit. Possibly he has a cigar he can smoke. And that's how that happens!

Better than the useless acid gun, anyway!
