Gurglemeel's Selectable-Fire Machine Gun

The weapon as seen in Evilsmurfs 3's Gamejolt banner

**Gurglemeel's Selectable-Fire Machine Gun** is a Selectable-Fire Machine Gun utilized by Gurglemeel and his nomadic brother Stan on several occasions. The weapon was designed by Poopah's Smurf Army to deal with targets of particular prominence, such as Gurglemeel himself. However, it proved greatly effective against the Evilsmurfs, as they had failed to take into account how it could function in the wrong hands.

The gun harbored two different firing modes - **single** and **rapid.** The firing mode would be announced by a digitized version of Poopah's own voice.

## History

### Discovery

As Gurglemeel was decimating the final few members of Poopah's Evilsmurf Army, he was able to find a long hall with the gun laid down on it's own. Claiming the wapon as his own, Gurglemeel would utilize it against Poopah Evilsmurf as he encountered him, seemingly killing him. However, Poopah was able to recover and fired a rocket from a similar weapon, incapacitating Gurglemeel and sending him to "the Scary Hell Place." Briefly losing his weapon, he recovered it once again and made his was toward Poopah to kill him once and for all. After being given a choice, Gurglemeel decides to shoot and kill Poopah.

### Poopah's Return

Three years after it was found, Gurglemeel brought the gun back into action to fight Poopah's newly recovered Smurf Army. he used it against Gredy, a chef Evilsmurf, as the villain tried to bomb Gurglemeel with explosive pies. Vowing to find Poopah, he continued to search for him.

Hours later, Gurglemeel encountered a mysterious hobo man, who told him about an Evilsmurf camp not far from where he was staying. Gurglemeel took the weapon back out, using it to destroy the camp. After giving him No-Launcher-Required Rockets, the two parted ways. Gurglemeel used a combination of the rockets and the gun to storm Poopah's fortress, which he gained access through a hidden access revealed by the camp's destruction. The gun accompanied him to a battle against Poopah and Clamsy on the roof of the fortress, where he used it to destroy various Evilsmurfs jumping down from one of Poopah's airships.

### Lost & Found

After Poopah makes a getaway on his main airship, Gurglemeel tries to follow his route. On his way, he encounters Redsmurf and his Army-Smurfs in a surprise attack, who cause him to drop the weapon in a panic. The hobo man picks up the weapon, using it to fight Redsmurf's army. He takes it with him to another castle, but is unable to use it against Redsmurf. After beating him with Experimental Remote-Detonated Explosives, he keeps the weapon on him. After speaking with Redsmurf one final time, he is told he is actually Gurglemeel's brother, Stanley Gargenburg. He doesn't believe it until his cousin Poomlecule arrives, killing Redsmurf with a grenade and confirming Redsmurf's message. Stanley keeps the gun, presumably returning it once he reunites with Gurglemeel.

## Appearance

The gun appeared similarly to an extremely lengthened pistol, and somewhat akin to a rifle. It could be wielded with one hand, as demonstrated by both Gurglemeel and Stan. Seen in some close-up images, the gun had a switch to change it between different fire modes, and contained a speaker to signify which mode had been selected.

## Usage

The gun featured two different fire modes - single, a single-shot like a pistol, and rapid, an almost continuous barrage of bullets. The gun housed a seemingly infinite amount of rounds.

## Trivia

* The gun appears shorter and closer to a pistol in Evilsmurfs 3's gamejolt header. This is an error, as the real gun is much longer.
* The gun features Poopah's voice, hinting at a potential connection between who designed it and Poopah directly.
	+ Furthermore, Poopah uses a nearly identical weapon used to fire rockets instead.
* It is possible to make Poopah bounce of the bullets fired from the gun. This is especially easy to pull off with rapid mode.

### Continuity

Gurglemeel does not start with the weapon in Evilsmurfs 4: Episode 1 and Evilsmurfs 4: Episode 2, instead finding it laying around in different locations (albeit right in front of him in the former.) Despite this, it is intended to be the same weapon across all three games, and thus these appearances are retconned.
