Do you feel lucky, punk aesthetic girl?

Was waiting for the Dirty Harry reference.

Was not disappointed.

Well, do ya punk?

wait...that's not right.

"Go ahead, Jay-Jay. Make my day!"

I gotta respect Levin’s guts here, he’s up against people way outta his league in this game and he knows it.

This is one hundred percent a bluff. A drum mag like that fully-loaded is _HEAVY_. Holding it out at arms-length like that is plausible if it's empty - or, I suppose, only containing a few cartridges - but fifty- and hundred-round drums are chunky. Levin would know if it was full, at the very least, and I don't think he's the sort to hesitate or bluff if he definitively has the upper hand.

Additionally, it would be very unlike Smile to just leave a fully-loaded (or even partly-loaded) SMG packed in a chest as loot. They claim to be studying psychology, and a far more interesting scenario is where the gun isn't actually loaded and at least one party doesn't know that.

Of course, there was the situation with the shotgun and the "trust walk" early on, but that was bolted down and only, ostensibly, carried two shots.

Not to ruin a cliffhanger but: It's empty. Tobi basically confirmed that it is. No surprise, really, considering how this game plays out.

Deranged face on Levin. (Check)

Now kiss!

Dirty Levin.

He is scary

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict Levin gets a hand cut off soon by magic monster Minxey.

Revenge has to be slow right?

Get a room already

Does he even know how to use this gun?

Welcome to the True Man's World...

We've got some good points here. The magazine would be heavy enough that you could probably tell if it was loaded based on the weight.

Oh yeah,forgot Tobi and Three had munitions in one of their room

@noname There's still a cliffhanger: will Jay-Jay back down or call his bluff?

@Brilliand
Hm, true enough... Though I personally feel that "will Jay-Jay back down or call his bluff?" is a bit of a weaker cliffhanger than "is the gun loaded or not?" Then again, "what will Jay-Jay do" was arguably the cliffhanger's premise to begin with, so...

@Violet: Depends if you've ever held a tommygun in 1 hand before. Guns are heavier than most people expect if they haven't held 'em.

We have to remember this is a comic, and a number of impossible conditions are entirely possible. If our author never handled a weapon like this, the fully loaded weapon could be light as a feather. If an upcoming scene features Leven pulling the trigger it will be more important whether "click" or "Blam, Blam, Blam" plays better than whether the weapon weighs a ton or an ounce.
My bet is that the paladin gets involved and we may never know how loaded the weapon is.

just saying. I just started reading the other day. This comic rocks. I am now current after 3 days. Keep up the good work man. I will drop some funds on you soon

Fusk, is that you?
