The original suggestion has a watermark on it. So I did a GIS for it, both this and this look good. Any other preferences?

I like it being held better. It makes it look more weaponlike and less of just a weird spiky thing.

The one with the guy holding it, although that shiny patch on his head is oddly distracting...

Not that it really matters, but I believe that's a bandage.

No, it's just what passes for fashion in that movie. He wears it the whole film. It's like this plastic thing and his hair goes through it.

[up] Shima's right, and the pic of him holding the gun is great.

That's not really a Swiss-Army Gun. That's just various special-purpose bullets that can all be fired from the same gun. Which is very much a real-life thing.

Yah, and the ammo type will be unreadable when the image is shrunk

Seconding both of those reasons. That might work as an example of Abnormal Ammo, but not for this trope.

Well, we better remove it as a trope example then.

The Lawmaker IS an example, just that the image shows it badly.

Just chiming in: I like Zorg holding the ZF-1, I hope the page quote stays on the page (too long for a caption?), and IIRC the Lawgiver qualifies, if at least on the Hyperspace Arsenal aspect of the ammo.

I personally like the picture of the gun by itself, since it shows the dissection of the various weaponry in a slightly more audible fashion. But really, any of Deboss's first two images will work fine.
