* GunsAkimbo: Zeno gives Charlie a Walther P-38 and a Mauser C96 for the uprising, cautioning Charlie to fire in short bursts to avoid overheating. Charlie uses them rather well for an untrained, interned civilian entertainer, and after cornering Major Volkmann in his office, he kills the Major with a fusillade of bullets from both guns.
