wow, speaking of drugs, that would be a bit frightening, eh? a piece of paper acting like a lung? like the necromicon or something - die, die, die! unholy text!
i still like my musket concept - how about imagining a gun battle 'twixt the crips'n'bloods? dudes in 'doo-rags w/ a captain sparrow-esque pistol cocked crazy-eyed style?
the blunderbuss would still make an excellent home-defense weapon!
