Hey, some of those fifty year old blasters are quite servicable.
The M-2 blaster there is to be feared by those who know what it does.
The shiny white paint, well, add a layer of truglo and maybe mirror shine it.
Perhaps you can blind the other guy long enough that you don’t need the old blasters.
The paint is more important than the blasters for PR trips. Not that it matters. Third-world systems are easily impressed by any show of force from the Americans.
