So...Buck Masterson and Increase Trask....were they separated at birth, or are they half-brothers, or full-on brothers who don't like to keep the same last name? =)

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 871):

Ha ha ha! For Pete's sake, they are clones! Duh!

Tonu

So Tony and Tonu ....were they separated at birth, or are they half-brothers, full-on brothers or an evil twin?

In reply to Vundra (msg # 873):

Ha! I already have a twin brother, thank you very much. We debate who is the "evil" one.

(We are not identical, though.)

Tony

Hmm is the only and only wife aware of this.

In reply to Rowan Dawson (msg # 875):

She is and says I am the evil one. The vote was rigged!

Tony

If you say so....

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 872):

Only just noticed that. Of course the evil one lived under the house for the first five years of it's life ?

In reply to Increase Trask (msg # 878):

Why, my nickname as a child was "Hugo". Why do you ask?

As a note, Jane already carries a machinegun, a Hellfire SAW:



Rowan's MG, the M260 SAW, is a nice weapon, but the Hellfire is advanced with a lighter, bullpup design and firing a larger, better-penetrating 12mm caseless round.

Rowan's M260 SAW (7.62x39mm):

Thanks for those pictures Tony.  *I* hadn't realized the differences.  I'll go and post saying I'll take mine.  No offense to Rowan's weapon.  That's a good one too.

In reply to Jane Guin (msg # 880):

I know it is silly, but I have always been suspisious of the positioning of the mag on that saw

In reply to Rowan Dawson (msg # 881):

As a matter of fact the early model SA80 magazines used to fall out because the release button was easy to strike with the leg or arm while carrying.

I realised the Wolverine has more than enough capacity to take the M260 SAW as a backup weapon. There's a weapon bracket to hold it on the back for when they were using other weapons than the XM-40 Ripper.

 The SA80 is an abomination even with the rework. it was designed with a war in Europe in mind. Not global conflict
 it is useless in the desert even worse in high altitude conditions. The standard Nato round lacks stopping power and range. To the effect that the marks men in the troop have been issued with L129A1 sharpshooter rifle

The SA80 replacement contract is now ongoing with the Royal marine already replace with the C8 Diemaco

Well, let's not forget that the prototypes and some of th first production rifles had this nasty tendency to blow up in the shooter's faces...quite literally. Also the reliabiity was massively improved by the rework, which was done by H&K, just as the M16 rework, at least for some of those. As for the ballistics of the 5.56 round...I hav made my peace by now with the G3 to G36 switch. And both the M4 and the  FAMAS are fun to shoot. Especially the FAMAS. That being said, can I get an updated version of the G3 please? Or if it has to be a short range round, why not 7.92 kurz? Or 9x39?

Something like this perhaps:

GIMME!

Ah sorry, I might just have had a gungasm right now...
Ehrrm. Cymon, my man, where'd you find the picture?

Sadly it is a 3D computer image. Here is the link for a larger pic:

I am hoping that a 3D printable stock becomes available, but I won't hold my breath.

Cymon.

In reply to Increase Trask (msg # 887):

Ah that was a nice concept pic from H&K. favorite sharpshooter gun in RL is .330 Arctic Warfare Magnum. British weapon chambers a .330 caliber magnum rifle round. Quite nice weapon and a decent TK in most vid games from Half-life's Counterstrike Skin to a couple of Call of Duty mods. They tend to keep the physics pretty close to the actual mark at least from what I know of the actual physics. As I live in the US getting a permit for a military grade "hunting rifle" is fairly easy, but the import cost is problematic as well as the fact that I can't trust some of the people in my household. That includes the use of Biometric gun locks and Biometric Safes.

Fact is the above mentioned rifle and a Swiss made octagonal round pistol are among my favorite trophy pieces. Not that I own either. Gotta get a FOID card first. (Firearm Owners Identification Card is what FOID stands for in case you don't know.) I actually want one of Jason's pistols. His Texas Ranger standard issue.

Couldn't resist.

In reply to COL Kurt L. Schaeffer (msg # 886):

You want to see if you can get ahold of a bullpup version of the G3? Sure! Why not.

Make a Scroungin' check!

Tony

10:45, Today: COL Kurt L. Schaeffer rolled 4 using 2d6, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 4,2.  Scrounging check for bullpup G3.

Very funny. Considering to spend chips on this...

Anyways, we were talking real life like ;)

Marc

Rowan would smile sweetly and see what she could do for her lover
and she would like it in game

10:21, Today: Rowan Dawson rolled 9 using 4d10, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 6,3,6,9.

In reply to Rowan Dawson (msg # 892):

Ha! OK. With a TN of 9 you can get a semi-auto bullpup version of the G3 (the HJ91K) that was sold as a survival rifle before the Final War.

Tony

yea
how many mags and how much ammunition?
Cost?
fitted variable to normal sights?
Damage/ range ect

In reply to Rowan Dawson (msg # 894):

It's expensive because not a lot were made.

$750 for the rifle. Top rail, but no optics.

There are 3 spare magazines available. Ammunition is $2 a round due to the relative rarity of 7.62x51mm ammunition. (It also has an AV of 2, I believe.)
