[The Hunger Games trilogy] I am the Head Gamemaker for the 100th Hunger Games, AKA the fourth Quarter Quell. How would you guys feel about this addition to this year’s 100th Hunger Games?

Greetings ladies and gentleman. I’m Claudius Trajan, Head Gamemaker of the Hunger Games for the past few years now. Next year will be the 100th Hunger Games and the fourth Quarter Quell, an excellent time in celebration of our decisive victory over the Rebels in both the Dark Days and Second Rebellion. The 100th Hunger Games will truly be a special one. That is why I am going to try something new, something that no other Head Gamemakers have ever done before: introduce **firearms** as a weapon in the arena. Yes, it’s insane. This sounds weird I know. You might say “that breaks with tradition” or “it’d be too easy”. But hear me out. 

Obviously if everyone had a gun, the QQ would end way too quickly and it’d be boring since everyone would have an equal shot (pun intended) at winning. Scrawny, barely-fed 12 year old Timmy from District 11 could easily shoot and kill a strong and extremely athletic 18 year old Jimmy from District 2 (who’s training to be a proud and noble Peacekeeper). So instead, here’s the twist to the twist: **the guns themselves are extremely rare** and **the guns aren’t going to be at the cornucopia**. 

When the tributes run for the cornucopia, they’re not going to find a single firearm there. Instead, they’ll find some ammo (I’ll touch more on this later) and the guns themselves are scattered throughout the arena. It’ll essentially be a normal start to a typical Hunger Games with the blood bath and everything. They’re free to pick up whatever they want from the cornucopia or run away but after that, if they want to shoot guns, it’s up to them to find both the guns and appropriate ammo. And there will absolutely not be enough guns to arm every single tribute. There will be I’d say 12 individual firearms of varying calibers and types. Of those 12, four are rifles of some sort (e.g. an M16A4, M4A1, C7, and AK-74), four are pistols (e.g. a Glock 19, Beretta M9, 1911, SIG P230), and four are shotguns (e.g. a Benelli M4, Mossberg 500, Remington Model 11, and Winchester Model 1912). Again, **every single gun is scattered throughout the arena**. It’s up to the tributes to find them on their own. The thing is though, one gun from each group above is purposefully rigged so that it either jams, explodes, or is otherwise inoperable. 

But then I know some of you are probably thinking “if they have ammo and the gun(s), then what’s stopping them from just killing everyone unopposed and going home?”. That’s exactly why **25% of all of the ammo is rigged in some way**. Those 25% could do anything from being blanks, jamming the gun, and/or up to and including blowing up in people’s faces/destroying their gun. The ammo is also separate from the guns themselves and they’re also scattered around the arena (the cornucopia will only have like maybe 150-175 rounds in total) except the guns will only have a small token amount of rounds to give the finder some sense of safetysnd security (so if Molly stumbles upon a Benelli M4, she’s not going to find any ammo save for like maybe four or five shells at most that’s just enough to give her some sense of safety and security). 

Somewhere on the guns themselves, an extremely bright and reflective paint will also be painted on them. For example, the M16’s muzzle could be coated with this extremely bright and reflective paint that’s able to be seen from VERY far away. This gives unarmed or outgunned tributes a fighting chance while also giving some pros and cons to the tribute wielding the gun. You can’t scratch the paint off and even on a bright sunny day you can still clearly see it. You can try and camouflage it with dirt and stuff but it’ll still be visible.

The people are going to be unhappy, they will root for a crowd favourite and that crowd favourite gets randomly blown up? Right after receiving a parcel of support goodies? You are gonna lose your job man.
