Pistol grip - now, very different than like you hold and handle a katana, I tell you.
Never figured out how that thing fires, though.
But I also had a problem with the white fencing overalls you wear, keflar jacket underneath, and the relatively thick, padded overall, and then the mask with the huge frame around your face: you can't really do without that, but I have a malfunction of my glands and thus problems with my metabolism due to excessive production of adrenaline, one smyptom is that I sweat like a waterfall and do not react to well to warm temperatures. that was a problem for me when I travelled in much warmer countries, and when fencing - in that kind of cloathing - I drowned in my own sweat and always was close to overheating. Doesn'T feel good.
