Back to the original question, I’d suggest you pay attention to Gunman. I’m sure he has done hundreds of them in a shop that prided itself on good work done in a timely manner.

As to perceived balance, all of that is just “talk”. A gun does not have the same “balance” for someone who is 5’6” tall as for someone who is a foot taller.
