Comments, questions, feedback:
Thought #1 - if the codesize can't be reduced, it would only be because Mike already did everything he could think of (and I think it can always pretty much be reduced SOMEHOW).
Thought #2 - Moebius 2.0 uses a simplified version of FunkyChicken 1.1's gun. If you do make a little bit of space, you should take a good look at that one (as it's a little more accurate and it owned the MiniBot Grand Final Nano 1-on-1 division). -- Kawigi
