Dang. The ruling stands no battery run blasters in game. Aside from the racket they make (which in a horror setting where you are trying to conserve, avoid, and hide from baddies is a bad thing) it makes big combats harder to manage. The adrenaline hits and you suddenly you think you have as many attributes as it takes to empty whatever you have in the clip.
Not like that has every happened before. *cough, cough* sorry. *cough*
