Man Slayer Paradox (99% Annotated)

Why would a real MAN kill someone with a bomb, when you could shoot them in the face instead? With a nice reliable swap combo you can delete 3/4 of your enemies health like the good old days without needing to buy vortex web! Grow some hair and your chest, and get a real gun!
