Re: Night Moves
In reply to The Marshall (msg # 324):
Dismounting after his crossing, Roadkill called Trask and "Cannibal" Jack over.
"Cannibal, old buddy. Got something for you." He unslung the 4.73mm caseless HK G22 rifle that he brought from the cab. "This belongs to a friend of mine, Colonel Schaeffer. Schaeffer dove on a grenade in a bar to save his friends, the members of this posse. He's in hospital in Junkyard right now, they are giving him new plastic and metal heart and lungs. The son of a bitch who done that is Kargo, the biker ashole we're chasing. I seen that old lever-gun you are packing and want you to have this, just bring it back. Also, that jerkoff who took out the Colonel stole the Colonel's girl's hoverbike. So I think he'd approve. Go ahead. Don't worry about cleaning it, I already done that this morning."
The weapon was loaded with a dual 50 round magazine containing a block of 16 4.73mm caseless Light AP rounds, and 25 rounds of 4.6mm FMJ. There was another 50 rounds each of 4.5mm LAP and FMJ (in 25-round blocks) stored on either side of the barrel. On the top of the receiver a 4x optical sight with illuminated reticule was mounted. Roadkill kept the Colonel's sidearm, a bulky 4.73mm Mauser '70 machinenpistole.
"Trask, I realise I don't have the handguard parts for you to carry the M2B. Want to borrow the M260 (SA SAW)?"
