Edit Reason: clarifying what the requested feature actually is.

THE PITCH
- As you may know, human players (and uh, presumably NPCs?) can hold a gun in each of their two hands and fire them simultaneously.
- A player who has been transformed into a spider has eight hands.
- However, player spiders are not only unable to fire 3+ guns at the same time, they also can't even fire just two guns at the same time.
- I demand that spiders be allowed to achieve their true potential as the deadliest gunslingers in space, by allowing them to fire up to eight guns simultaneously, as god intended.
PROS
- It would be really funny.
- Balance issues are mitigated by the fact that player spiders are pretty darn rare, requiring either a lucky roll on a wizard's polymorph spell, or admin shenanigans.
- Getting eight guns is a fair bit of work, especially if you're not settling for zip guns (and immediately just blowing yourself to smitheroons).
- MBC told me it would be pretty easy to code this feature.

I love this idea but I have to ask, regarding two handed weapons, they'd just take up two hand slots for a spider, correct?

Can't use them at all. Two-handed, not eight-handed.

This sounds hilarious, I mean they could at least fire 2-4 at once, minimum!
