This Weapon has a body count of 0 so I presume that means it can't actually be used to whack a victim. It's also no good in a Shootout. Does it have a point other than making a political statement?

Yeah, pretty much a pointless card. Though to be honest the rules for the game are a little shakey so it's not surprising that there's one irrenevant card in there.

It IS good in a shootout with a Victim, though. The rules say you simply need to play a gun to win; it doesn't specify a body count requirement. It's only useless in escalating someone else's shootout, or in responding to such an escalation.

that sounds correct but there needs to be a reedit in the official rules as the way it is worded is that all players participate against the player that the shootout was called against (basically the other players play the cops and or the postal worker) so therefore the spud gun would again be worthless. Now as I don't actually have the game in front of me does the postal worker state that the shootout is ONLY with him or does it just say a shootout begins because that would answer this question. I would assume that if the other players don't want to throw down a gun then the 0 point spud gun would of course win the shootout, BUT if a player throws down even a 1 point gun you will need to throw out more.

Nothing wrong with that. You force the other players to play a gun in defense - so either you win the shootout, or you drain their hands of good guns.

It's not a good card, by any means, but it isn't broken in the context of the game.

First time I played the game: After killing the President of the United States with Your Bare Hands, won the ensuing shootout by using the Spud Gun.
