[UA] Mess with this character, a lot

[Rayburn, Russell E.]

Of course, Jonathan mentioned that in Bi3P ( minor spoiler) Bill Togue made
the two cops explode when he touched them.

If I'm in a game where that's happening, the last thing I'd want to do is
get close enough to let them touch me.  I'd rather be on the roof of the
building across the street with an AK47 equipped with a 75 round drum.  Once
I've emptied the drum into them, I'll come down, soak what's left in
gasoline and toss a lit road flare into the mess.

If the bad guys are doing worse than shooting, I want to do something worse
than shoot back.  

The last thing I'd want to do is show up to a gun fight whispering "whoa...
I know kung fu".  ;)

Here's the thing: I'd look at that and consider it a vote for lots of
fisticuffs, less gunplay.
