I think this particular weapon setup makes the weapon too high.

It also makes it less efficient...

I would just use 3 hexes chained on each DSL bar.

Ahh, so you're suggesting a more generic weapon setup them? :P
No, I do get what you mean, I suppose it will help it against wedges.
I'll fiddle around with the extenders aswell, see what I can do there.

I am suggesting it because it is lighter.

And really 3 hexes chained on a DSL bar on a MW SnS is not generic.

Hmm, actually, i may have slightly misinterpreted this, do you mean set them up so they're one directly on top of another?

Put a weapon slave on the end of the bar, then another weapon slave on it, then another. Kinda like 123 did for this


but without the flails.

Meh, quick build, but still, why not make popups, interesting! ;P
The Glass Prison:


Yeah, strange and untested, but looks promising I think.
Armour's plastic 3, and battery power's pusing it, i know, but meh, screw it, it's enough to get by.

Better than GK since 2009.

Yep, it's what happens when I go to make a MW VS and then randomly making a popup.

Possibly unrealistic. Needs shallower wedge.

Yeah, I noticed the unrealistic thing after I posted it, it was easy to fix anyway

Shallower wedge? whatcha mean?

Oh, and in testing, the wedges are average, but the plow does what I thought it might do and traps wedges quite well, so yeah.

So the opponent doesn't just hit your front but goes over it to be killed.

Meh, that wasn't really the point of it, perhaps I shouldn't have called it a popup.
The plow traps wedges anyway, as I said, so it's more of an anti-popup thingy.
Still, I admit it's not THAT effective, it's just different.
