Thanks for posting Fox.
Good luck to anyone currently going for these. You have a lot of work ahead of you. =O

With so much work you have to do for the weapon, makes me wonder if the weapon is really worth it. For all that work, I should be able to one-shot Iffy. :p

Seriously tho, thanks Fox. ^^

Thanks for the info Fox :)
