Bazin's Massive Bazooka

The oversized tubular weapon fills Bazin's hands with its disproportionate weight, designed not for precision but for overwhelming force. Its matte black casing shows fresh tool marks from McLuhan's hasty customization, the barrel flared to accommodate a heavier payload. The mercenaries handle it gingerly despite its crude presentation—McLuhan practically shoves it into Bazin's grip while mocking his previous sidearm as inadequate, while Bazin's grip tightens only out of necessity. It lacks the sleek finish of military-grade arms, all angular joints and jury-rigged fittings.

After: Crudely handed to Bazin, its weight and scale making clear the gulf between expectation and reality
