So read on and see if you agree!
This one has semi-auto grenade launchers and rocket launchers.
So, what do the dummy rockets and grenades look like?

… dummy rockets and grenades?
I mean, I guess so.
But nobody told me to make any, so there arent any.

Then I guess well just hope nobody notices.
I get the grindhouse flavor that Rodriguez was going for, though I think TarantinosDeath Proofwas a better effort.
But how the heck does she fire the thing?
Attaching an M16A2 to the stump of your amputated leg with an Ace bandage seems reasonable … right? Image: Dimension Films
They couldnt even come up withsomekind of trigger mechanism for her to use?
She can also apparently choose whether to fire the rifle or the M203 grenade launcher mounted under the barrel.
Cherrys magically firing leg gun?
Never needing a reload, this M16A2 seemingly fires by mind control as Cherry (Rose McGowan) never once pulls the trigger on her leg gun. Image: Dimension Films
Nope, not buying it.
She totally does, with nary an ammo belt to be seen.
Freeze bang out ice gun thing.

However, it seems to fire conventional ammunition, as in projectiles.
To be fair, Snake didnt get to choose his weapons, he was issued them.
His main firearm is a MAC-10 submachine gun.
