Pistols are male in my mind - they sit around doing fuck all most of the time, unless the rules say it's them or nothing (which includes crappy spring shotties).
Totally didn't spot Silent's MBUS's being the wrong way round, Liam it's the kind of mistake I'd make - not because we don't know which way round they go, just because the main thing on the mind would have been taking the pics, not using the sights.
