@Lifebaka: Imagine that for Grave's Q he's turning back and forth while firing his Tommy Gun...Sorta spray and praying (not the Twitch ultimate)....Does that help your imagination? (MF already has double barrel sawed of shotguns for her Vandal skin....Giving one to Graves would just be....Unoriginal?

I can see Buckshot sorta' making sense like that, though it wouldn't (in reality) be able to shoot off each of the three shots as quickly as a shotgun. I'll give Riot artistic license there if they do make him do a quick turn when he uses the skill.

Smoke Screen still doesn't make sense, because the projectile on it is far too large to fit in the barrel of a Tommy. Unless Graves's Tommy is huge. From the splash art, the barrel on the Tommy doesn't seem to be unrealistically large enough to shoot that kind of smoke grenade, so it doesn't make so much sense when I try to think about it. Riot could have avoided this issue entirely by having Graves throw a grenade, though.

Quickdraw doesn't seem like a move a gangster would use, but there's no logical flaw with it. It just seems a touch off-flavor.

Collateral Damage makes no sense, period. You can't fire an explosive shell out of a gun that fires bullets. Shotguns fire shells, a Tommy gun fires bullets. And an explosive bullet also doesn't make too much sense. I can't think of a way around this one.

Then again, I am trying to apply realistic logic to this, which clearly isn't perfectly applicable in a game. It's just that without the sense-making, I don't like the skin as much.

I need a side-by-side of jurassic cho and jurassic kog splash art. I think they're actually linked.

That Graves skin is awesome. So awesome. Wicked Lulu is second best though. More Jurassic skins makes me happy, but I wish they would put them on champs I use. Lol.

EDIT: Nvm, the two skins aren't linked the way I thought they were. They are in the same room, though. Oh well. :/

@lifebaka: If you look closely at the "tommy gun" in the splash art it appears that the drum clip is actually holding shotgun shells. As well the size of the barrel appears much larger than the typical .45 cal (I believe it was .45 cal) barrel used by a Thompson Sub Machine Gun. Which leads me to retract the earlier "spray and pray" method and assume it's simply Graves' shotgun modified to look like a Thompson model smg. As well....Mafia Twitch also has a thompson sub machine gun as does Mafia MF, so I retract the "unoriginal" comment as well.

But logiclly speaking, Graves is clearly still wielding a shotgun, it's simply modeled as a Thompson sub machinegun which was used in WWII as well as a favorite for the old school Al' Capone style mafia men. As we know, in our current life time there are such shotguns that can use drum magazines and be fired fully automatic. As well, there are a multitude of different ammunition types available for any gun owner. That includes explosive rounds. As for the smoke grenade, IDK about there being a special ammo type for that, but hell I've seen an arrow/harpoon fired from a shotgun (Professional Russian on youtube) so it's possible....Quickdraw is simply Graves' way of avoiding gun fire...Like rolling over casino tables, or sliding under them :P

lawl that was fun ^_^

@JEFFY: I'll take that Graves's "Tommy" is actually a modified shotgun as a reasonable explanation. It's way easier than arguing against, anyway.

I do note that the barrel of the gun in his Mafia skin (link) is still way smaller than the barrel of the gun on his other skins (original skin link), which is part of what I think looks kind of wonky. Of course, the barrel of Graves's gun is stupidly and unrealistically huge in his other skins, so the Mafia skin seems to be just more in line with reality than the others.

I also have to say that I really like the way the Tommy on Graves's skin looks. Comparing it to an actual Thompson with a drum clip, Riot got the barrel size just about perfect compared to the body, and they even added the spirals around the barrel. And the forward grip looks like it might double as a slide action for the gun, or have been modified from such a slide action. Either way, the attention to detail is beautiful.

Also, yes, it fires .45 cal. Good memory.

I noticed the forward grip appeared as though it could be pumped/pulled like that of a shotgun too ^_^ and yay for memory WOOT.

I'd say it's a step up from his other two skins from the original bundle.
