I'm glad that you like my pictures!

I'd be happy to make the design tweak that you suggested, except that I'm not quite sure what you mean by the back of the gun being more rounded in the game than here. I can only find two pictures of the Light Shot ( and [http://sonic.wikia.com/wiki/File:Shadowwithgun.png this one), and those pictures don't actually show the back of the gun. If you could explain in greater detail what you're talking about (and/or find a picture that does show the back of the gun), I would greatly appreciate that!

As to the coloration of the Light Shot: I looked up where in the story you get it, and why, and I now understand why it might not make sense to be able to color it in advance. However, this then makes me wonder: How exactly do you apply paint jobs to weapons? I can imagine at least two different ways that this could be done, both of which might allow the user to apply paint jobs to the Light Shot (and maybe also the Black Sword and/or Cell Cannon): Please let me know what you think of my ideas, and how close they are to the ideas that you had for the paint-job-application mechanism.
 * Idea 1: Paint jobs can be changed on-the-fly via the pause menu. This would allow users to change the colors of their weapons at any time, even during levels, allowing the user to change colors of weapons that are picked up from the environment (like the Light Shot).
 * Idea 2: Paint jobs can be chosen when weapons are added to Shadow's arsenal. While this wouldn't allow users to choose colors for the Light Shot (and other similar weapons) per se, I imagine that the Light Shot and other similar weapons could gain the paint job of whatever weapons they are replacing.
 * For example: Imagine that, in Chapter 6, when Shadow gains his other pistol, the Light Shot gains the paint job of the pistol that Faith took (which would probably be the same paint job as the one that he now has). Likewise, after he is disarmed by Eclipse and takes one of Eclipse's swords, that sword could gain the paint job of the weapons that Eclipse just knocked out of Shadow's hands. (I don't know under what conditions you get the Cell Cannon, so I can't make suggestions there.)

Thanks for all of the support! :D
