In Response To: On it (Tek)

: Thanks a lot for the suggestions. There's just one problem however. On the
: original sprite (both sides) you can see 2 white areas suggesting 1 or 2
: chunks of white text which I can recover as ".75 Auto" and
: "52 Rounds". You can see black areas on both bottom parts of the
: box which can be recovered as "May Not Be Used In Vacuum" and
: "Will Not Explode When/(If?) Stored In Bulk". Yet on a red part
: of the box you can see another black area under the 2 white chunks of text
: that also has to say something. Possibly something to do with UESC?

How about "Made under UESC Contract"? Or possibly, "Love from Durandal"?

: Oh the shells are already done. Apart from the texture ^_^ And I'm more than
: happy to slap some humour on em just tell me what you want EXACTLY.

The hippo reference is regarding Matt Soell, who was long Bungie's public face (as far as I can tell, he's now working at Wideload, which seems to be Alex Seropian's "Bungie Mk. 2", since the Voice of Bob is also working there) and the shotgun shells in Halo, which have a hippo design on them as an easter egg for him. There were plans at one time to have Halo incorporate proximity mines capable of being fixed to walls... leading to a "leak" of the phrase "Beware of wall-hugging hippos". That, sadly, turned out not to be achievable... but the hippos lived on as the design on the shotgun shells. "They may not hug walls any more, but they're still there and still lethal". The other option is to go cross-universe and shove in a warning from Fallout... "Not to be used by children under three"...
