Ok, not to imply stupidity or anything but it's just ludicrous to even
think that someone that's 9 foot 3 inches tall and weighs 1100 lbs would
have a small enough hand to even get the tip of it on a regular trigger
let alone be able to feel the sensitivity of it enough to actually be
able to use it properly, this is the other issue I have with the
strength and such, when you become stronger you become less sensitive to
the fact that you're applying too much pressure, this would be even more
the case with a troll with dermal bone deposits throughout it's body in
the skin.

That's way you have to troll-customise almost every weapon! Makes it more
adjusted to BIG hands and more pressure. You should also note, that no other
metatype, may you this kind of a weapon. Unless he has a drek hot cyberarm.
