I don't believe it is a shotgun, if you are eagle-eyed you can see the hilt: its a knife, whether or not it is a Bowie knife, Gene's signiture weapon, we cannot tell.

Frankly, I find it hard to believe the XOF commander is over fifty, let alone one hundred. His posture is not becoming of someone that age, no one can stay fit forever and his face also seems too young in terms of composition and the general shape, if he were older his skin would'nt fit so snugly, it would be looser, more wrinkly, whatever marks he has and whatever caused those marks it is not age.

There was an earlier post saying he looked more like a corpse than being burnt owing to his intact ears and nose. I'm starting to come round to this: if anything he looks as though he has frost-bite all over his head, despite the fact he has some form of defect or disability he is clearly middle-aged at most and those marks aren't caused by age.
