The game seems like it might be crunchier than I like, but I haven't finished the rules so it's possible that crunch is front-loaded a touch. Solid Iron is a gun that's loyal to you, not shooting for anyone else and never leaving your side, and when you've got it you get a hunch when someone is about betray you. kangaroo, and knocks people off their feet - including the shooter.
