"Sharp Sticks", anyone?? :acmaffirmative:

Thanks Moosh.

I doubt that Hudson had in mind that rifle when he said "sharp sticks".. but anyway.

[MrSpaceJockey]

Yeah, he definitely wasn't!  Sonic electronic ball breakers - great idea, but in his speech he was slowly going down, getting to "knives," and then "sharp sticks."

Oh well. It's a pretty cool looking gun.

It looks like this is a PC exclusive item, I hope it also comes out for the console versions as well as I've already preordered the Collector's Edition from Gamestop.

Quite.  He meant it as a joke.  But then - this is Gearbox we're talking about after all....

It is indeed a cool looking gun - if somewhat unwieldy...

Yay!!  It's a Gamestop Pre-Order Bonus, too!!  Too bad it's only for PC, tho.

I think this weapon is just a reskin of the Stake gun from Painkiller which is totally off of the Alien universe imo.

[Space Voyager]

I'm soooo waiting for reviews and discounts. Been disappointed far too many times.

[acrediblesource]

The S.H.A.R.P. Rifle is absolutely f**king awesome! Thanks Gearbox, this will prove to make awesome canon! I want to see it in action.

[predxeno]

The SHARP Rifle does look cool, but why is it only for PC?

[Njm1983]

I do like what gearbox has done with the marine equipment. I'm just not sure about the game as a whole...

[Gren_86]

The weapon and the other concept art look very good.
