Me and some players want this. Launches sheep with the mandatory "beeh" noises and increases the weight of the ship it hits(reducing lift).

I really like the idea of a thing that increases weight of another ship. How would you remove the weight once it was attached? Hit the sheep with a wrench?
-
Yes! Or you can shake the ship violently.

A reason to introduce the hatchet.

Definitely will be a gun worth while in the artic maps, gets cold up in the north. (do note this should be in the lounge thread and not suggestion)

This would make for a great April Fool's joke gun :D

It should have a different animal sound for each ammo type.
