But, there are three big limiters on the Thunderbolt:

1) It burst fires, but the recoil is heinous.
2) It only holds 12 rounds, and since it ONLY fires burst, you're
effectively limited to 4 shots.
3) While it isn't illegal, it does make an unusual report. Remarked on in
New Seattle under the Lone Star section, anytime a cop hears a TBolt fired,
he's gonna be interested.
