Pellet bomb guns (and pellet bombs) were the handheld weapons that my characters carried in elementary school. Ultra Car had a pair of pellet bomb launchers mounted on either side of his hood, and Danny and Joe carried rifle versions. The idea was that each launcher had a bunch of tiny pellet bombs inside it, but once it entered the firing chamber, it would expand in size and be roughly the size of a fist. Then you’d fire it, and it’d hit the enemy and go boom.
Anyway, yeah, elementary school Joe created a spaceworthy vehicle AND shrinking technology within the span of a few hours. In this version, I guess the shrinking part isn’t mentioned? So Joe with Rachel’s help only did the spaceworthy vehicle stuff, but also the car is sentient to begin with, plus just some exploding shell launchers, all within the span of a few hours, I dunno.
In the updated version of the pellet bomb launcher, I just added, like, a reloady slider bar or something to the top. Great work.
also yes jesus christ no don’t give danny a gun
If Danny had a gun, he’d just find a way to injure himself with it.
He’ll shoot his eye out
Please consider yourself upvoted.
+1.
This storyline is peak Danny.
Danny has a point here, matching outfits for this mission would be kinda cool.
No problem. The Martians will make all the outfits red.
Danny: It’s gonna be a long trip. Can I bring my ukelele?
Poor Danny! It’s official, he’s the comedy sidekick! The Hot Romantic Interest girl gets to fight impossibly well (see the 1980s Flash Gordon for an example) but the comedy sidekick will just get himself killed!
OH SHIT I’M THE COMEDY SIDEKICK! Time for me to re-watch Last Action Hero.
Maybe this is Big Trouble in Little China?
Maybe these pellet bombs are more like fragmentation grenades?
